Have you ever watched a tv promo or programme that you know a lot of money was used in producing, only for you to hear 'send us an email at abcdefg@yahoo.com'? Sorry to say but it smacks of unprofessionalism. Why spend so much building your website and/or brand, only to give me a generic free third-party email address?
For a small fee, you can still use third-party email providers like Google Apps or Yahoo Small Business for your email hosting needs as you will be able to use your own @domain.com name, but please people, don't tell me its irrelevant. Anybody can go to these free third-party providers, register your name and use it illegally.

webdezzi: server reboots, huge traffic surges, name servers modifications, workplace filterings etc. makes ppl want to use services of 3rd party email providers.

That shouldn't be the case for a site as big as Nairaland. It's like saying Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram execs should be dishing out their official email addresses and you see 'Bleep.xxxx@gmail.com'. It's time for Nairaland as a brand to grow up.

Goldcon: Only one of my affected sites is working. One of them is opening on my BB phone but cant open on my Lappy. I dont understand. I have used different explorer. same thing.

Clear your browser's cache. If that doesn't work, try a different Internet connection.

That's good. Hope they give an explanation for the prolonged downtime and properly compensate their affected customers.

Kindly change the last interior pic, as it is from your Prado Ad.

rufaai: Who says Syskay is the best host in Nigiera? on what basis? I've not seeing how they're even good!

I will tell you reasons Syskay is worth leaving for GigaLayer:
First we do not operate like they do. We also provide better support service and if you read my post above, we have been in operation since 2007; you've never seeing our customers go mad at us (That's because we do our jobs)

If we are not good Seun would not recommend our service either, a number of other professional developers out there also use our service. We host a lot of big organisations and provide Dedicated Server hosting too.

Before this unfortunate event by syskay, anyone visiting this section would tell you that syskay was regarded as one of the best ( even a poll was conducted to that effect ).

And unless you own a datacenter, you are reselling dedicated servers that you buy from the actual owners.

Frankly, I have nothing against you trying to land customers from Syskay, but there are better ways of doing it.
Why should anyone listen to you about moving to another nigerian webhost such as yourself, when Syskay that is regarded as one of our best is currently off the grid contact-wise?
Can you convince us that you won't do likewise when we place our websites in your servers?

And I say once again, Really

Really

Are these not the same guys that killed Dealfish? Or is it that someone is killing continent-wide online businesses one by one?

Some of them have tried that 50/50 nonsense with me especially when they get a quote for my services.
'Oh, we know you do a good job, why not let us invest in it together my brother, with my ideas and your brains the sky is the limit'.
I just tell them to send their 'brilliant' 50/50 proposal to my email.

Then, there are the 15k clients, who want to have a CMS-driven website that I should help them maintain for 15k.
'Mister website developer your prices are high, I can go to computer village and get a website with any feature I want for 15k!'
Why, pray tell, are you still negotiating for a higher discount, when you say you can get better elsewhere?

easyresearch: dual core.every body have right to comment on any post.chidi is right.

So he has a right to wait for someone else to start a topic to promote their own business and then post a reply that competes directly with the business of the O.P?

Abeg park well joor

The centenary website has the private sector involved, so they would want to the result of their contributions, therefore less government bureaucracy.

It might be next year before they will have passed the proposed official government website through all the 'necessary' desks at the ministry. Government jobs are big, yes, but the price is premature aging

So have a website for the centenary but not for our official web presence (nigeria.gov.ng)? Na wa o!

The centenary website still needs work. Some things are still messed up on the site.

The bordered container is where you have 'Phones and Tablets', 'Laptops', etc. As you can see the camera and laptop are almost touching the border.

As for the logo, I suggest you try and play with the letter 'O' in the word 'Kobo', maybe replacing it with a coin??

1. Sitename breaks up on smaller displays, showing as

onthirdp
lanet's blog

2. Facebook widget is wider than the available space in your right sidebar.

It happens like that sometimes. At different times in the past, i couldn't access cnn, thisday, engadget and many more through different networks. Also for a while I couldn't access my cpanel and email with starcomms.
Maybe your isp is currently performing an upgrade

Me likey! Nice simple layout. Currently testing functionality. Will post more later

Quick Review of Paykobo.com - Homepage
Here are my quick observations.

HEADER
1. Logo ain't good enough.
2. The 'Find It's button is rough and blurry. It needs to be sharper.
3. Use only an Icon or text for the Home link in the Navbar. It currently looks rough.

HOMEPAGE CONTENT LAYOUT
1. Not enough space between the bordered container and its contents, making some images touch the borders
2. The Headings for the categories would be better left-aligned instead of being centered as they are now.

FOOTER
1. Spelling error regarding British Airways 'Business Opportunity Gran Winner'. Also the BA logo's background is showing over its container's grey bg.
2. You are only showing 5 banks but are claiming to have accounts in all banks.

Well done!
You chose a lightweight template that will load fast, seeing as Internet speed will be slow for a lot of your users.
As you start to customize that template with plugins and mods, always make sure your site load remains light.

Focus on quality content that will build your website into a community.

Will add more later!

You tell them to pay better money for website maintenance and they say no way
Someone inexperienced will then go and scatter your carefully crafted code, smh
