This is what many South American Players do. They Return to their Country to Retire.

Yobo should be commended.

This is Fake News. Even the Vanguard Link has a completely different story.

Dollar is 396 as at this Afternoon at Parallel Market.

Oil Prices Rising while Naira is depreciating? Something is wrong somewhere.

I Completely Abstained from all forms of sex, kissing or masturbation for 11 years prior to my marriage. So yes, it is possible.

The First 6 months is usually challenging. Thereafter, the desire for sex would no longer be strong and compulsive.

DualCore1:
Thanks for your response. A few points to note as you reflect on the response you have made and any other future responses to my posts.

1. All my posts are made as my personal opinion based on my professional experience and passion for whatever I do. So when you read my post, kindly do so bearing in mind that I am an individual, not respresenting any commercial entity.

2. Your nick suggests you are in the webhosting industry and as such your views here are going to be seen as those endorsed by and representing the host service provider "abhosts". It will be in the best interest of "abhosts" to treat its posts on public forums very sensitively. If I was a potential customer or even an existing customer of "abhosts" I will begin to be in fear as your response speaks volumes about the practices of "abhosts" and if it could be endorsing this bad practice here, I fear for its customers.

3. Whether you know it or not, any posts made with this your handle will be representing the ideas of "abhosts" and you have everything to lose while I actually have nothing to lose cuz I come to you and everyone else as an individual and I will always be this way.


Hoping things have been placed in clearer perspective now, let me go back to this comment of yours

My response to two of you:


Have a lovely weekend ahead.

I have nothing to lose by saying customers of a cheap service should keep their personal backups at all times. If I was representing any web host, I would say the exact same thing. Please visit online forums and see the response of experts when Foreign Web Hosts Lose Customer Data. The User takes the Blame for not playing his role of taking personal backups.

If something similar happens to your Hosting Company in Future, I hope you would remember this thread to see how ungracious you were when it happened to a different host.

Have a good weekend

Na wa... this industry just had to be dragged deeper into the mud by those who should be upholding it. More food for the "go for foreign host" band.

Only one server crashed
All data lost, and backups lost too
9 years in operation with funding

Tell the above 3 lines to any level III server admin and he will be outraged.


Bottom line
You only need to be in the webhosting business 1 year to know the benefits of taking backups and placing them on another server (most likely in a different datacenter, if possible). If you've been in the industry for 9 years, there is no doubt you know this so it is just a matter of negligence and wanting to maximize profit and cut running costs by not acquiring storage servers for backups.


I appeal to all webhosts out there operating in Nigeria to take backups seriously. Backups should never reside on the same server you are backing up. Also, do not rely on the cPanel backup transport feature that should transport your backups to the storage server, sometimes it shows up as completed but it doesn't move anything. You may just ditch cPanel entirely and create your own RSYNC utility to sync your backups with an offsite server daily.

A good backup tool for cPanel is cPremote (it is about 5 USD per month per server). Get an offsite storage server for your backups. If you don't want to spend money on getting a storage server, pair your production servers into what I will call "backup clusters". Server A should hold backup for server B and server B should hold backup for server A. This will only be effective if both servers are not in the same datacenter.

Please get good server hardware, don't go for cheap. If you are running your own servers, there's no reason you shouldn't be on a Software RAID at the minimum. Server issues come in different variants and forms but the important thing is ensuring you eliminate any single point of failure. cPanel DNS cluster is a must if you have more than one server.

Also, stop promising these clients heaven and earth. If you cannot offer a service for free and stay sustainable, don't promise them they will get it at no added cost. Put a price on it.


When cars have accidents or fail, I don't know why people don't say all cars are bad. When one service provider fails in this industry, people attack the industry and not the provider.

So a Web Host is suppose to offer all that for a Hosting Cost of N3500($9) Yearly?

It is obvious that you just want to use another host's misfortune to blow your trumpet. Even the Best of the Best Foreign Hosts will tell you to always keep your personal backups in case of emergencies.

I wish Whogohost a quick Recovery.

The same Nigerians that promised Never to Patronise Dana after the Crash are now fighting to Board Same Airline.

hmmmm

Diamondbank is more Business-Friendly for the Following Reasons:

1. You can easily get loans for your business if you have a decent turnover during a specified period.

2. They offer COT-Free Business accounts.

3. Their Customer Service is also Better.

I trust Nigerian Empoyers. The rate at which people are bagging First Class like Pure Water, It would soon become the minimum Requirement to apply for some Jobs.

Something simply does not add up. Oil Price was $48 per barrel at this time last year July and the Black Market dollar rate was 240.

Now oil price is about 46 dollars per barrel and dollar is 360. Where is all of Nigeria's dollar revenue going?

It appears as if First Class is the new 2.1.

This is old news.

You should have learned by now not to Listen to many of the So-Called Experts here on Nairaland. They are mostly Paid Noisemakers that know nothing about Basic Economics.

Pay for Advert of Blog Nobody Knows about?

The Banks have been setting their own rates since the Naira Decline Started.

All this Grammar just to tell us things would remain the same.

So according to her, it is all down to good looks?

930 Dirham is approximately 253 USD. That means you were billed about 379 Naira to a Dollar.

I doubt her Story. Mega Chicken has one of the best Quality Control Standards in the Fast-food Business.

Dollar Sold for 324 today at Parallel Market.

Call your Bank's Help Line to find out the actual status of the Transfers. If they were successful, the recipient would get credited for both within the day, if the transfer failed but debited debited you, the bank would reverse the Transaction.

Bbsharon:
Pleases how do I retract my money. This morning I sent a particular amount using the online process (my first time) although it went trough just once but I was debited twice . The person I sent to haven't seen any alert too.

Any process(online) I can do to get the money back because I can't go to the bank now am very far from the supposed bank and I need the money as soon as possible.

I don't know if this the right section but mods please help me move it to where I can get good and quick answers on this. Thanks.

I don't think they are live yet. I have done Network searches on an LTE compatible phone but ntel does not show up.

I have done Network Search in Lagos with an LTE Compatible Phone but cannot pick up any NTEL Network.

I used my Zenith Bank Card Some days ago and I was Billed @ 297 when the Payment was settled. The 398 is not the actual rate.

Someone else posted a similar complaint before but he eventually got what he paid for after a long wait. You should read reviews about a service before paying.

Today Fidelity Billed @345 and Diamond Bank @337.

A Big Congrats to Her.

What now becomes of Laura that Refers to Linda's House as "Family House"?

Good Old Family Values.

How I wish our young would emulate people like these Instead of the Likes of Davido and Wizkid.

60GB for 25k when I used unlimited for 20k monthly bro drop that network

Please could you post a screen shot of your Internet Connection speed test?

I could subscribe if it is fast enough.

Thanks

Signed for Netflix 3 days ago. Myself and Wifey watched 7 HD Movies, 1 Documentary, and 3 Episodes of a Series. Just within 3 days it has exhausted 60GB of Data from Swift that costs 25k. So I have decided to get rid of Netflix for now.

Nigeria is not Ripe for Netflix until our ISPs begin to Offer Fast and Unlimited Internet Subscription. DSTV appears to be the only Reasonably Priced option for now.

Kingbilo:
Really? Not the same as US options?

Not Even Near.
