GigaLayer... well because you want to sell the domain name and you don't want any hiccup with that. Your money will buy you more security, premium level of support and tools to manage it. Cheap is good too, but not always good business!

Mercedes Benz or Hyundai, the choice still remain yours. wink

Payonner sure pass

You can say that for now, but how do you intend to fund the Payoneer; unless you have business outside the country that will earn you the dollars you need. Recently, I wrote an article here explaining this Challenge for individuals and businesses:

This is a revolution that will kill some businesses and bring about life in fresh new businesses too.

Webmasters / Re: PAGA And GIGALAYER Hosting Trying To Rip Me Off?? by rufaai(m): 8:09am On Mar 14, 2015
Hey @CreativeWeb.

To begin with we DID NOT suspend any of his websites, we advised him to leave. And yes it is part of our terms of service never to go on public and post such things about us. You cannot be our customer and be defaming us out there at the same time, most especially when you are not communicating with us your challenge or when we always help you and you know it!

Secondly, ye we are not MTN or a Bank and our terms of service are not the same neither are we working with their own business model. Also know that any business can choose not to render their service to certain people. In fact some even keep a blacklist of customers they won't serve! You've never see airlines permanently reject someone from flying with them ever, or banks or infact any business? Try reading online if you've not.

We cannot keep everyone, some are a threat and some we cannot even accomodate. Thus the best we can do is ask them to leave! Most importantly we're not after money, but a service that is great and acceptable to a niche market and particular kind of customers. Two people here have already testify to our nice service. We would like to add more of these people who are loyal and calm to our customer array.

"Forum is a place to come and heap your burden"? Wrong, a forum is a place to discuss, share and improve a community not a place to heap your burden. @Seun didn't create Nairaland for that, but for healthy communications and hence even Nairaland deny/block certain users!

I'm just doing what's best for us in the long run. I will never push our product or services down people's throat, and I expect people to be amicable in solving their challenge us. We made a promise to help from day one someone signup with us, and we will forever continue to upload our promise. Part of our ethics are to always be nice to people and guess what, we do so to even non-customers! (Check this forum for some of my posts)

Thank you for your own view on this, be free to drop me an email if you want. I may not be here now. wink

CreativeWeb:
Even if I call MTN now and start insulting them, the customer care or the owners of MTN will not block my line. They need me. Should Etisalat and other networks be going around in forums looking for people that use their numbers and who bashed them so that they will block their lines?
Forum is a place to come and heap your burden. It's a community.
Your terms of service cannot include 'do not bash us on online forums or we will suspend your account with us.' That will be trampling on the client's fundamental right to be heard.
If you try this n0nsense with me, I wil direct my Pakistani hackers never to sleep until they bring down your server to the mud.
I thought rufaai is an enterpreneur, now I know he's just a boy. Your response is unethical, unbusiness, unprofessional, unbecoming and uneverything.
Go to any back and start making noise and insulting them and telling people that the bank is a fraud. The manager will quickly come and usher you into his office and beg you. The bank will not shutdown your account. Never!!!
Webmasters / Re: PAGA And GIGALAYER Hosting Trying To Rip Me Off?? by rufaai(m): 9:35pm On Mar 13, 2015
@DualCore1 I understand completely. It is also very very sad that I had to do this and you know me!

The client will most likely use this kind of mediums in future and this is only a small challenge of payment gateway, we could have refunded him or provision his service in the window period of getting it sorted out. But instead he's chose to use that to libel and slander our business.

In my first response, I gave him my address to contact me directly and I was going through his account but it's still of no good to him (from his trailing his response)

We're a service company and I think (I stand to be corrected) it is crucial that we keep our integrity and ensure our services gets to the the right customers with goodwill and ethics, to whom our services are fully tailored for.

While our staff are putting efforts to assist him. He went to Paga to claim refunds and came to Nairaland to defame us, all in under 48hrs while still being a customer we've served successfully for months. After going through all his other support tickets in the past I saw how our staff have been giving him commendable support. It is not like he doesn't know us or how to reach us!

I'm not sure what else we could do.
Webmasters / Re: PAGA And GIGALAYER Hosting Trying To Rip Me Off?? by rufaai(m): 7:34pm On Mar 13, 2015
Hello @gmart

I am glad that your challenge is resolved. In that case it means your transaction has a glitch at Paga's end or at Interswitch's. Either ways that is enough to justify as to why we could not see the transaction at our end (final point).

As per your support ticket YP552, I have uploaded it here for anybody who want's justification: https://www.dropbox.com/s/32b4vuxnis844qt/Conversation%20-%20YP552.pdf?dl=0.

You said we've not responded to you which is clearly not true. In fact our Billing Staff has been following up with you to get your bank alert reference for us to help in tracking it with Paga but you closed this ticket your self. The above extracted PDF has all the communication you had with us.

See what you're saying here now, so inhumane of you.
gmart:
I relayed my complaint and you told me to open a ticket, I immediately did as instructed and if it helps here is the ticket number: #YP552. Nothing useful was said there, infact that ticket has been unattended to for more than 24hours, i had to close it.....

...Did you guys tell me to wait that you were/will handle the issue? Coming on this platform to air my complaints isn't and will never be wrong considering the position you guys put me in, what i think it does is hurt. Yes! It hurts because now you finally have to take me serious and offer explanations.

Sadly I see you've been a customer with us with even active products/services. Why would you do this?

Well... I am sorry that we fell short for you and thus it is obvious we are not able to meet your expectations. To the rest of our happy customers we appreciate them and we will continue give to them our best.

Now that your funds are publicly confirmed refunded, we will have to take you seriously as you said and revoke all your services with us in violation of our terms of service with you. This is considered threatening to us, thus you have to move to another hosting provider on wards. We will officially contact you for that anyway.

We appreciate the time you've been with us and the 4 other websites of yours that we have served!
Webmasters / Re: PAGA And GIGALAYER Hosting Trying To Rip Me Off?? by rufaai(m): 3:47pm On Mar 13, 2015
Hello @gmart,

I must first apologize for your difficult experience and then ask you to login to your billing account at https://gigalayer.com/billing and hit the Get Support button on the menu then select Billing Support to open a ticket!

You should also know that, your challenge can and will be addressed if you communicate properly with our support. If we are unable to trace your transaction, we are to follow up with Paga and not you. Contacting the gateway service provider is a wrong move and in most cases may not yield you results because these gateways provision their service to companies they know will handle all challenges for their customers. Instead you should contact the company you're dealing with and follow through.

With a challenge why not communicate with us. Don't go on forums uttering very damaging words, it's very wrong!

If you have any further comment, please reach me via email "ahmad /@/ gigalayer.com" or best do as I said in the first paragraph.

Thank you.

Hello Godwin (@Godwinsilas),

I am from GigaLayer and this is sad to see you posting on a forum for help. Our tech support are ever ready to assist you, please resume your conversation with the support desk if you already have a ticket.... Reading from your post here, it seems the challenge might be a little misconfiguration a long the way, and if you see a blank page possibly you have error reporting off.

Like @Coolsix already suggested, you can use error_reporting(1) at the top of your php file to enable errors on your page and look at you error_log file to see what was wrong. Also if you have a working version of your scripts hosted online, we can migrate it for you at no cost. Simply ask our tech-support to do that!

Please do not hesitate to contact me directly; ahmad @ gigalayer.com. Accept my sincere apology for any inconveniences caused, let us see how we can solve your challenge for you by talking to our tech support. Thank you wink

PSS: Thank you to the rest of the respondents for assisting him. More so to @DualCore1.

Jeel:

Thanks bro. I have called and mailed my host. Still waiting for them to respond. My email is not hacked.

Hmmm, you do not want to remove that page abi? - Oh, I wonder if you even want to fix it or you want to show off. By the time your slow web host will respond to you your search rank and visitors must have all been jeopardized.

Mind you. It's not everything that your web host will do, don't be surprised if they come to only suspend the account.

Okay, mine is to advice... yours is the rest! cool
Webmasters / Re: My Blog Danaty.org Has Been Hacked. That I have been killing Muslims in Nigeria by rufaai(m): 1:22am On Dec 11, 2013
Jeel: Pls what can I do. I just noticed it this evening. For a few days I suspected it but was not really sure what to do. I have contacted my Host lagoshost.com(with a text to all their lines) but no response yet. Pls can anyone help out.

The blog is www.danaty.org

Lol, if you can login to your cpanel remove the index file injected by the hacker. Then inspect your files, usually they install something called shell which allows them to manage your site files. Trace that and remove it.

I would suggest you also speak with your host, that's a lot better than. Also try edit .htaccess usually they also change your site permissions with it to still grand them access.

Cheers. Thank me later.

Webmasters / Re: Self Hosted Wordpress Help by rufaai(m): 8:15am On Nov 16, 2013
Self hosted wordpress means you need to buy a domain name & a hosting account, then install your wordpress and maybe then move your existing wordpress from to your new domain.

You can signup a hosting plan and buy the domain at GigaLayer. http://gigalayer.com/web-hosting

When you are ready to move your blog, You can contact support for free assistance.

Yes, it was very bad. I knew they were facing some hosting issues, all their web servers were down. But that is not an excuse!

My company was processing over 50,000 weekly on Eyowo. Guess what, we have moved already. I am sure a lot of other serious businesses must have moved out too.

Alas, this should be a lesson for Softcom Imagio to adjust and better their operations, structures and management!

bosun.ng:


Thank you sir. The mistake I made was that I didn't save my SQL file before the site was terminated. I only have the public file in tar.gz

What do you suggest I do?

Oh if your tar.gz file is only your public_html then I'm afraid you may have lost your database. Unless you can contact your previous host for any possible availability of it. But if it is an entire cPanel backup, you may have your database there as well.

Try extracting your tar.gz file and see what's in there.

actoor: Its almost impossible for you to see such apartment here in Ikoyi. Except you wouldn't mind Ikoyi axis such as, Igbo-Efon, Osapa london, Agungi, Jakande estate all along Lekki peninsula . You can still get for 750 & above around Oniru, Lekki face one/two & Dolphin estate. But for Ikoyi, Park-view & Banana Estate start from 1.2m an above except you need an arrangeeee house (Temporary apartment) 08033491003.Mr Samuel.

Omg that's huge, but I won't mind for a little surge of not morethan 600k.

Dolphin Estate is awesome.

GraphicsPlus: Yes, they will beg us for peanuts but our domain names of choice may no longer be available then. Do u remember how much a sim card cost initially? The issue is that not every business will need .ng stuff. I personally will never have a .ng domain. Although it's good to buy all extensions if u ar afraid of people cloning ur business name.

Tell him abeg, for now things like auction.ng, travel.ng, installi.ng, masteri.ng etc are still available.

I got http://ads.ng by the way, blogging Nigerian TV ads
for now.... I could not have gotten ads.com, even with 150,000.00 wink
