How Did Sapahost's Outage Affect Your Business And Blogs? by CloudMita(op): 2:48pm On Jun 09, 2025*

I just hope webmasters have learnt to stop building websites without having a backup.

Over the last one week, I've watched men cry!

Men with 40,000 daily traffic websites, blogs.
I mean websites earning at least $30 daily

They cry not cos they aren't adults, but because their hosting company, Sapahost suddenly developed issue and probably lost everything.

Now, going offline for a week means Google is going to deindex all your content from SERPs.

The consequence?

You'll lose your ranking and traffic.

See the message from Sapahost saying our site was not among the few they could recover.

This Is coming just a few days after they promised there'll never be a downtime again

Bro my 4K daily blog went offline… I just feel the company themselves didn’t expect to get this far because if they did they would have protocols or safe means of protecting their clients websites

My new site with over 35,000 daily views. I was earning over 15$ daily just died with sapahost.

And they're saying they can't recover my site after their server went Banana.
I really won't recommend Sapahost to anyone at all.

Avoid sapahost at all cost

Omo see my brothers in arms😭😭
Omo sapahost made me cry... The first time this stuff started it took them 24 hours to restore the server... When the server came back on, I was having this feeling of moving my site to a new host. Buh omo I just let it slide, the following day...
Sapahost: oya count 1 to 3 the server will go off.
Google watching from afar: 😈😈😈

Very sad something. The same Sapahost was in my DM begging me to stay, that they'll never have a downtime again. Now, everything otilo!

And they're even saying there is nothing they can do.

Are you saying that there is a close-down of some blog-site ¿

Move your sites to eastern Europe server any server in Africa has tendencies of downtime

Try che chu
Koala host
+ My secret host I don't share to anyone where I pay $15 for a year to host 3 sites.

When the site starts earning I moved them up to dedicated server where I believe downtime cannot happen.

When the quality for raptive or mediavine I move them to Big Scott except war happen before big Scott go fit get problems.

I don't think any host have their servers in Africa. Not even HostAfrica that bought whogohost. If you ask, they let you know. Most of these host servers are based in the US or europe.

It's easy to know that. Just use dnschecker website to run a check on the namesevers

So it's an issue of management on the part of the Nigerian owners.

If them tell you like dat na big lie.
They get a few CPU space and cram as many site as possible to it to get maximum return
All Nigeria host are all reseller hosting with zero backup except the management want to invest in a backup.
This is why hacking Nigerian site is as simple as ABC.

They don't need to tell me. I can run checks using dnschecker sites. And btw, how do you mean a Nigerian site is prone to hacking? Any site is prone to hacking. Whether it's simple as ABC depends on the security practices of the site in question.

It's not a Nigerian thing.

That reminds me, around August 2023, namecheap had some downtime. from websites being hacked, servers going offline and the absence of backups of the servers and websites. My website was one of them.

It made the news. Went viral. It was hot topic on Facebook. We swallowed it because it was a foreign host and moved on. Or is namecheap a Nigerian host?

And for reseller hosting, i read somewhere that interserver was a reseller, is that true? So the problem here is, remaining a reseller, isn't it?

If you can buy a dedicated server for your personal site as you claimed, I don't see why it's impossible for a "reseller" to also do that.

And oh, since they're all resellers, that means their servers are not in Nigeria then. Because i can get a VPS from Hostinger to start my hosting company tomorrow. Or simply buy a reseller hosting plan from bluehost. So does that mean the servers are in Nigeria?

At the end, it comes down to management practices. Downtimes and website hacks can happen anywhere, really.

Same reason I never want to use any of them.
But people feel it's easier and faster deploying with these Nigerian hosting providers as it's cheaper, requires no dollar or virtual card and exchange rate hassle.

And now?

Everything is gone smoke!
