I developed Inspiredautos website and have been managing it for him since 2010/2011.
He pays N10,000 annually for the hosting and I never charge him any support fee.

Sometime last year, I took a business decision to decentralize my quasi hosting service to enable each customer own the root hosting accounts and make purchases from their offices if need be.

Inspiredm's website was billed to expire on February 02, 2016.

Three months before this date, I sent him email reminders informing him of the need to act fact before the expiry.

In the email, I told him that I intend shutting down our hosting service and offered him two options to enable him seamlessly move to a new host.

Option 1: Pay us the sum of N12,000 to cover for the internet cost for downloading and uploading several GB of data to a new host

OR

Option 2: Look for a developer to handle the migration for you.


He went for option 2.

I received an email requesting for details to enable him transfer. I sent him the website database and provided him with FTP details to transfer. Also, I pushed his domain to his new developer as requested.

After Feb 02, 2016, he was yet to move his files. As expected, the website went off.

He contacted me and after talks I offered to give him one month FREE extension after which the account will be cancelled to enable him work things out.

Afterwards, Inspiredm did not call me and surprisingly did not do anything about his website.

As expected again, the website went off by March 04, 2016 again. This time it was not reversible.

He called me again. I was very sad that he allowed the whole process linger without taking any action.

Luckily for him, I backup my whole server offline periodically (he doesn't pay for this. I use my resources). the last valid backup was in December 2015.

As usual I gave him the three options that are available:

1. Since, the backup is in another state. He may cool down when I travel, I will get it for him so he will not lose the files.

2. If he is in a hurry, he can finance my trip to enable me get it for him.

3. Develop another website (which I told him is not a good choice).

He chose Option 2 and said that we should work together. That we have been working in peace all along. He also requested for me to send him all it will cost to setup the website again.

Immediately, I went online to check hosting cost on Namecheap and flight ticket to the East.

After confirming prices, I sent him this:

1. Hosting account - N25,600 (An account will be created for him on Namecheap and payment made using his account).

2. Flight ticket on Aero / Arik (Return) - N40,000

3. My fee (time spent for travel, internet service to deal with the large upload and service charge to setup the website again) - N65,000

(1) and (2) above are actual prices so I expected him to negotiate (3).

What did I see next, curses and threats; saying that He will deal with ruthlessly.

I was shocked to say the least.

Where did I wrong this man??

- I have been loyal to you for 5 - 6 years with zero benefit
- You were informed and reminded (with records) that your account will expire.
- When your account expired, you begged and you were given a month grace.
- You did nothing and you lost your account.
- There is an offline database backup for you which you never paid for.
- You were given an option of being patient till I travel to reduce the cost for you.

Where did I wrong him?

If he is patient, my plan is to get the backup and give to him when I go for Easter break but he said he wants the website up and he wants me to do it right away.

I am willing to cancel all my engagements for Inspiredm yet, what I get is threat.

He went to Facebook to get the picture of my mother and sister saying they will suffer too.

All I kept on saying was " Seek knowledge, be wise " as I was shocked to my marrow.

This is really so petty coming from someone that claims to be classy.

Please, house advise me on what to do.
Please, Mods take to home page after verification if need be as someone needs to advise this guy.

Thank you.

Let's here his side of the story .inspiredautos come ohh

Inspiredm, pls come and clear ur name before people start taking sides o.

Inspired autos again? Na wah

Chai

Op no lele,he can't do more than a hanging pant. No fear.

For those asking inspired to come defend himself,I believe he has been banned for 100 years.

@op u wan tell me say u no know Inspiredautos don get 100yrs ban for here? And u still went ahead to do business

Oyo na ur case o

Inspired again?! Na really wah o!

THIS STORY GET K LEG

Inspired wont do shiit!! Him nor trouble people before.. Dem threaten am for him life? From the look of things, you didnt do anything wrong. Keep calm if need be, report the case in the nearest police station.

Wait o is it that inspired couldnt afford to pay tou 40k for a return ticket or he couldnt afford to pay for his webhost renewal or he couldnt afford the charge of the new developer? Chai how art the supposedly mighty fallen.

Anyway OP to ur matter, a dead ant is more dangerous than inspired. He can only rant which is his trademark but push comes to shove he will soft pedal. No be all smoke dey lead to fire.

Meanwhile for threat to life on you and your loved ones quickly report this at the nearest police station so they can be aware.

We have heard enough of inspiredauto, plsss report the case to the nearest police station

This guy has been banned from Nairaland nah.....

hmmmm

Thank you very much for your advice. Will do as advised and will keep the house posted.

This is really an eye opener for me.

Inspired is not in this forum again Na. Why bring this here?

Go to the police station (a very good one. State headquarters or zonal headquarters if need be).

File a report for threat to life, with evidence of his mails, SMS, name, etc.


That's official.

Now, second, because ur life is precious. If you're the cool down nigga (forget this).

If not, put word out on the street. If he comes near your house once, boys go play am real nice.

Don't give a$$holes like him a second warning.

That's how you show your strength.

He later facilitated my trip to retrieve the backup. Subsequently, I had the backup sent to his office address.

I guess he took it up from there.

Thank you for checking up.
