If you're not the one maintaining the server, then you have eliminated half of the problem.

As for your question, thats why webhosting is not for the faint hearted.

You need to maintain it from your pocket till you start making profit.

Customer care is the most important thing in business.

For web hosting, you need 24hr customer care, cos people can patronize you any time, and they'll need assistance in moving around the cpanel.

And alot of other problems that arise with hosting.

If you cant employ people, you can ask for help from your friends (who will take it seriously).

They mustn't be physically present with you....they can be anywhere around the world, all you need to do is to tell them the times they'll login.

As for the N2500, thats the standard startup fee for a year to attract customers.

The price increases during the subsequent years.

And you REALLY need to advertise your company so people can patronize.

Lack of server maintenance.

Thats why customer care is very important.

Naija hosting companies lack that.

You can employ people to work for you as virtual assistants (live chatting and answering calls) (eg from liveops.com)

That way, you'll know when your servers are down and need attention.

Webhosting is not for people with naija mentality.

Well, to answer your question, the problem with Nigerian webhosting companies is it doesnt have ample uptime. (Most are not up to 50%)

A webpage visited now might not load after a few seconds.

The customer service is wack (little or no customer service).

And there are instances of sites with .ng web extensions that have been taken down without prior notice.

Most people dont like that.

jerflakes:
Of course!

Thats what I thought you were talking about.

jerflakes:
Oh that.

I thought you were talking about total independence.

I run my own servers independently.

All I need are light and internet connection.

But the web address will be in form of numbers eg 192.168.0.1. (Something like that).

I'm ok with that, as long as i dont have to pay nobody.

jerflakes:
If the servers are abroad, then its not a Nigerian hosting company, per se.

jerflakes:
You dont need to rub minds with anyone.

Its not rocketscience.

Lack of electricity and slow internet are the bane of Nigeria webhosting companies.

Lai Mohammed is talking facts here. I am very sure if an independent panel of enquiry is asked to look into this Boko Haram issue, they will definitely indict President Jonathan. How come the military could not curtail Boko Haram until elections are here before they suddenly woke up?

I must commend the military anyways for their recent victories, because they are the ones doing the dying and fighting but I still maintain as I have been saying that it seems the military was purposely on a systematic stand down until now.

They have always maintaned a defensive fighting strategy which even people without a military background saw was a mistake. They usually wait for BH to attack before fighting back. They usually wait for Boko Haram to take towns before going back to attempt to retake them. They refused to go on the offensive for the past 4 years.

It is now that elections are around the corner that they saw the need to go offensive in the BH war. This seems fishy, but anyways, I am happy they are giving the Boko Haram the death and misery they deserve.
