Yep; http://www.hostnigeria.com.ng

If you can send out emails but can't receive them, there are several most likely causes. It could be that you have exceeded your email quota or you have an incorrect DNS settings. Also if your web hosting plan has exceeded it's disk quota, this can also prevent you from receiving emails.

Go have a look and let's know how it works out.

Goodluck.

Of course it's possible to reduce the cost of land through Government grant provided that this is not a false political promise.
As a matter of fact having a kind of financial aid scheme fully backed by the Government to help reduce the cost of living will be the greatest achievement ever.

I will vote any party that can;

- reduce the cost of living
- create job opportunities
- care for and protect Nigerian citizens what ever country they are
- provide constant electricity
- curb corruption
- build new roads and bridges
- provide support for self employed
- create welfare system
- tax the richest more
- tax foreign companies
- build houses that people can conveniently pay for based on their salaries

And the list goes on....

I have for the couple of months now been suffering from the hands of hackers. Just last week my site was suspended for phishing and all effort to trace the script proofed abortive that I had to clear everything in my host and reinstall WordPress. Hacking alone has cost me 800 posts very sad.
Two earlier I had to reinstall WordPress again posted last night only to wake up this morning to notice my site hacked again.
As am confused don't really know how easy they get me this much or could it be from my host?
Am not good at HTML and PHP but will be glad if a guy out there could help me out and also advising on how to strengthen my web security.
See my signature to view my site.
Thanks.

You need to contact your web host to help you resolve this.

Goodluck.

indigene:
If a domain name is registered, for example a-z.com, does it mean I have gotten a website?
I have intent of having a website meant to promote affiliate links only

No, you will also need a web hosting package and of course developing the actual site itself.

So na wetin be the purpose of ya video sef or na for pr? anyway impress us more by learning Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba

whogoscam:

There was none sir..

This should be a learning curve for both of you. Customer satisfaction is paramount in any business and it doesn't matter how big or small the money involved is, there should have been a term that explains exactly how the process works before committing you to pay.

And on the other hand, you probably haven't done a great job yourself, it takes a lot for a company to accept responsibility you know. And only a fair company will refund you, because the table can be easily turned around should there be an agreement. You chose to pay them the second time around and from legal perspective, that's you putting yourself on the spot.

Next time you should ask for a contract term, policy information regarding the particular service you are subscribing to etc otherwise with other companies you probably not going to get your money back just for smearing the company.

And your service provider should also learn a lesson or two from this and write contracts that reflects their additionally services, it doesn't matter if it's an affiliate thingy with interswitch or other companies, that way people will understand the process and know what they are getting into.

As far as I'm concerned, the case is already closed because you want your money back and they are willing to pay you back. You should shake hands and move on.

Goodluck.

whogoscam:
...claims to be an Interswitch partner!

There is always a solution to everything.

On what ground have you paid and was there a term or contract of any kind that you have read or signed before cashing out?. I will be gob smacked if there was non which put you on the spot.

It's always good to read contract terms or what ever before committing to anything. That little extra bit of work reading or research would have saved you all the hassle.

Best of luck, hope it's amicably resolved.

Most of you guys posts are so biased with lack of substance. "Foreign Web Hosts Vs Local Host" Because you have a bad experience with on host doesn't mean all Nigerian web hosting companies are bad.

How about you doing your own researches well before subscribing to a web host that will do you harm ?

After all diving into any business with little or no knowledge is the beginning of failure for that business. So basically it's not the web hosting company's fault for yous not doing your thorough research before subscribing to a service like that.

You should all sit down there complaining about Nigerian web hosting companies this and that, I can assure you that we are evolving.

I can list a few quality Nigeria web hosting companies I came about during my years of research and I continue monitoring these companies because they are direct competitions. And for me to tell you that we have quality web hosting companies in Nigeria I'm not misleading yous.

When you all talk of foreign web hosting companies, it's funny, because Nigerians are part of some of the web hosting companies you are on about. Like if I tell you that almost half of Gatwick Airport is owned by Nigerian would you believe me?

Foreign web hosts right, I have worked for two popular foreign web hosting companies before initially starting HostNigeria!. And I know few people as well working with foreign web hosting companies and other IT sectors. So when are we going to stop dissing and and appreciate that we are making efforts.

If you fail to find yourself a quality web hosting company, that's your own fault. How ever there are ways to deal with that so that you can move on any time your web host pisses you off. Alot of web hosts have this habit of holding their clients into ransom, not just Nigerian web hosts do this, even the foreign ones you guys are on about.

Below is a solution to deal with and hopefully prevent a web hosting company holding you into ransom .

Step 1
Register your domain independently, that way you have full control of where your domain points to.

Step 2
Then signup with your preferred web hosting company Local or Foreign, once they activate your web hosting account, you will be given a set of name servers.

Step 3
You will now need to login into your domain registration account and point your domain to the provided name servers.

Step 4
Always make sure that you have the most current backup of your website. You need the files zipped and the database files if you have one also zipped and kept in a nice and safe folder on your computer. Also have a copy on your dongle or what ever external storage device you have.

That way you are in full control of your own data, making your web host just a service provider and nothing more. And you can choose to move to another web host without the need of notifying your existing one.

At HostNigeria! we have open and honest policy, for example when we register domain for clients, no mater what we will never hold them to ransom. We never experienced it before, but should any of our client request that they want to leave for what ever reason or no reason at all they are free to move on and and we will gladly help them over to their new web host.

Hope this helps!

Good question, NIRA is the best place to ask, but I doubt you will get the answer.

According to NIRA, there are 2 types of premium domain names, the the brand names which goes for N500,000 Naira and the generic domains such as webdesign.com.ng which goes for N1.5 Million.

Do you still want to know?

There is no top web hosting reviews that you could do that has not been covered a million times.
Instead how about top web hosting reviews in Africa, Nigeria etc do you understand what I mean? that will be most appealing in my opinion.

Nice concept though...
Goodluck

Those that are to partake in it are the people who has bought products (anything at all) from Konga

You are posting in a web master section, you need to target a consumer section, that way you will be able to get quality feed backs from those people that have used those services you are inquiring about.

This kind of posts should be transferred to the appropriate section, hopefully you will get a mod to do that for you.

Goodluck

DONOCSO:
pidgin should be our official language.

There are different kinds of pidgins, which one do you want bro a West African pidgin English on it's on is in multiple varieties. So a Nigerian pidgin is quite different to Liberian's and any other African's and the rest of the world, although one could easily tell a pidgin.

For example you can have a clue what a Liberian is saying in pidgin, but you wouldn't necessarily understand even though you know they are speaking pidgin.

Thought I should share.

Hi,

Okay. I will just keep shut at this stage.

Thanks

In between, I visited your website and I could see that you offer SEO services. Great!

I noticed that you use whmcs for your client area. I can integrate whmcs with your website template for you if you like?

If you are interested, I can do that for you for a small fee.

cheavroi:
I love your analogy and you must be a good story teller but unfortunately there are some facts that I need to clarify so other people reading this will not get it wrong

1. Your difference between PPC, Organic SEO and Adsense is mixed up.

Organic SEO is the process of getting your website free traffic on search engines, PPC is the process of paying to get traffic while adsense is a method Google uses to advertise merchant's products on partner websites. So if your opt in for PPC, it is a totally different game if you opt in for adsense.


2. Except in rare cases, it is not possible to rank a website homepage in two months. ( I can ask you to take up this challenge if you do not agree with me )

Apart from this two issues, like I said, you did a good job trying to tell your story.

Yeah, I know exactly what they are thanks for joining in and thanks for pointing out the AdSense bit, I mean AdWords, That's MS Words for you. I knew that not alot of people will respond to this post, except those that understand the concept.. Pretty hard to put it all together.

I've been doing this for years now and I will never mislead anyone.

cheavroi:
( I can ask you to take up this challenge if you do not agree with me )

Did you really mean that ? I have done this plenty of time buddy and it's not the first time I would be challenged as such. If you want to challenge I'm on board. Give me a real project and I will prove to you that I can achieve Google Top rank in two months. BUT you have to pay me tho as I don't work for free.

You need to realise that there is not enough competition in Nigeria unlike the UK, US that online competition is huge in almost every aspect of industry, this was how I learned to deal with SEO issues, dining the big boys.

The last work I did was on http://www.hostnigeria.com.ng - If you check how old that domain is and check it's Google position, including Yahoo, Bing etc. Then come back and tell me it's not possible to achieve top rank in 2 months.

Depending on the keywords, I can achieve top rank in three weeks, it's possible, what are you on about ? I'm not making this up, I have done it in 3 weeks few a times before.

Since nothing tasty going on in this webmaster forum, I decide to throw in something fresh.

Optimising your websites for top ranking on Google can be very challenging, it's challenging enough for those of us that know how to go about it, not to talk of those that have little or no knowledge on how how to go about it.

I've been in the web industry for a long time now, with all the necessary webmaster's qualifications you can think of, so I'm far more than an average web master. But it's up to anyone to take my words for it on not.

I recently came about some Naija based businesses that choose to promote their companies online by participating in Google PPC program REALLY?

I can go into the Google PPC program, strip it apart with words and analysis. I understand that some people may not understand what I'm trying to say, so I will try my best to it simple. Perhaps let me write it as a story.

This is a story about two competitive friends; Tina and Paul, they were both in separate but similar businesses, they both have same audience as their targets and were both determined to outsell each other.

Both Tina and Paul sell fashion related products and they both got their merchandise from the same manufacturer. In the bid to outsell each other for profit, they both independently decided to launch a website with the hope to attract as many customers as possible. These guys were sworn rivals in the fashion industry and none of them was willing to step-down for the other. Well would you ?

All the hassles had been going on for quite a while and not long, they both realised that no much sales coming in from their online websites.

Then in a bid to do something about their online loss, they both independently decided to contact Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) companies for advice on how to better promote their businesses online. So here is what happened next;

PAY PER CLICK SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION

Paul contacted this "SEO Guru A", who helped in optimising Paul's website for certain keywords and phrases. Paul and "SEO Guru A" agreed on a monthly payment term, but after 2 months, Paul was disappointed because he couldn't see any increase in sales. Paul immediately cancelled the contracts with "SEO Guru A". Paul took things to a different level, he signed up with the "Google AdWords Program", he submitted his credit card and entered his keywords, phrases in the Google PPC program and before you can say hey! Paul was enjoying a huge sum of traffic to his website... Hurray! Paul said, knowing that his website is displayed in Google's fashion related search results.

Tina noticed that Paul's website is being displayed in every Google's fashion related search results, What?? she said, how did he do that? how come his website is at the top page of all fashion related results. I like to know how he did it.

So Tina began her own journey of finding out how Paul's website is getting displayed in Google's search results.

ORGANIC SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION

After a thorough search, Tina came about "SEO Guru B" who had been in the game for a long time, he explained the differences, advantages and disadvantages between Organic SEO and PPC and the likes. He assured Tina that he would "do his best" to get Tina to Google's top 10. And they both agreed to a monthly plan in which Tina will cancel in 6 months, should "SEO Guru B" fail to achieve Tina's SEO objective.

Unlike Paul that subscribed to Google's PPC program, Tina with the advice of "SEO Guru B" settled for "Organic SEO"

Bit by bit and within 2 Months, Tina's website managed to reach Google's Top 30. Although, just like Paul at this stage, Tina was concerned and consulted "SEO Guru B" who advised her to be "Patient" and reminded Tina to cancel their agreement should he fail to deliver by the specified time frame. Reluctantly, Tina accepted.

By the third month, Tina realised that she was getting more visit to her website and more people were calling in and sending emails inquiring about her products. She was amazed, then she tried to search for her website keywords using Google search, then right in front of her, she couldn't believe her eyes. Her website was on Google's top 10 position 2. She quickly rang "SEO Guru B" and said in high pitch voice, thank you, what did you do? how did you do it? You are great! she said to "SEO Guru B".

Tina continue to enjoy huge volume of traffic till today, she has since renewed her contract with "SEO Guru B" and her business booming at low SEO cost.

A LESSON FOR EVERY ONE

Now back to Paul, because of the fashion industry keywords and phrases he was bidding for were extremely high, Paul was basically competing with well known and long established International companies, he was always default in his PPC campaign, despite all the thousands of $$$$$ he had paid for Google's PPC program, he lost a lot of money, the amount of sales he made from the PPC was not up to 2% of the amount he paid into Google's PPC.

At the end, Paul couldn't keep up with the program and Google had no choice than to disable his Google account for lack of credit... That's Google's way of saying wham bam thank you ma'am...

Since Paul's failed to credit his Google PPC, his adverts seized to appear in Google's search results, and now Paul's his back to square one and worse. Sadly Pauls is badly broke, while Tina is still dominating Google's Top 10 and enjoying all the traffic and paying far less in maintaining her SEO unlike Paul.

So to all my friends out there, I hope you enjoy this little story. I deal with a lot of people every day from different countries helping them resolving their Google PPC and SEO issues. I have contacted Google regarding similar issue quite a number of occasions where customers felt they'd been badly maltreated. The Google team in Ireland know me now because of the number of issues I had to deal with for theirs and my clients. So my advice for anyone paying for Google or similar PPC program should stop, unless you have got money to gamble with. If you don't have the money to compete with the big boys, please don't venture into it.

I will bet 100% on Organic SEO than any PPC program. You know the old maxim, "If you want something done right, do it yourself" or hire someone that can organically optimise your website using White Hat Trick. Google and similar PPC programs will most likely cost you more than you make, so what's the point ?

For you to know if Google really cares about your business, here is a test for you, especially for those that are already participating in Google PPC.

Let assume that your business is based in Nigeria and your target audience is Nigeria only. Then let also assume that you have a credit card on file with your Google PPC. (Remember by participating in Google PPC that your advert will be globally distributed, including those countries you can not provide your service to.) If you are not sure about this, then I advice you to go and read the Google AdWord policy again.

Next step, login to your website root and limit access to all countries except Nigeria using ".htaccess, after all you are only providing your service or products to Nigeria? so your adverts should only be visible to those customers that you can readily provide to.

Once you are done, take note of the action Google will take against you next. "Warning - Google will suspend your PPC campaign," but don't worry, your account will be reactivated once you undo the country limitation I mentioned above, after all they still want your money. That way you will see exactly what I mean by Google not having interest in your business, either you make money or not.

SO WHERE DOES ALL YOUR MONEY GO
Basically when you subscribe to Google's AdWords program, your money will be freely distributed all over the place to those that display your Google Adverts on their websites, you basically make some people rich... and that is why Google's AdWords is so popular that everyone one want a piece of it.

Because most Tom, Dick and Harry jump on Google Adwords, and AdWords advertisers complained about money vanishing just like that with little or no ROI, Google had no choice than to change policy regarding their AdWords program and this is the reason every Joe Blog webmasters will not have the chance to get free money again.

Now one a webmaster must have a meaningful website with quality and unique contents "like this one " before Google can accept a website to participate for the money grabbing program. If the advertisers had not raised their concerns, left to Google, everyone will still be getting free money now either they have a great website or not

Well!, there you go, you have it all! hope this make those people considering the Google PPC campaign to think twice before wasting wasting money. I know this is a long story... atleast you've have something fresh and quality to read in this webmaster community.

The story is fictional, BUT sorounded by real life experiences of people I have helped and worked with in the past.

I have optimised so many website now, been there, done it and got a t-shirt... I have been in the industry for years and I have helped a lot of people with their personal blogs and websites. Design, development, SEO optimisation, etc I'm a co-founder of now acquired http://www.hostnigeria.com.ng, so I'm not new in the game at all.

I have worked in the IT sector, not only in Nigeria, but luckily in other countries as well.
