What You Need To Know Bore Buying Web Hosting In Nigeria

By Earlene McGee


Nigeria is one of the countries in the African continent whose technology is advancing, and with many businesses going online in the country, there is need for quality hosting service. Web hosting in Nigeria is a way to get your site accessed globally but hiring the wrong service can end up frustrating you. To avoid this from happening, you should consider the following before you plant your money on any service provider.

Do not be fooled into believing that all companies provide the best service in the country. In fact, you need to keep in mind that there are two types of businesses in the country today, the newly formed companies and the continuing agencies. Newly formed companies are actually working hard to acquire new customers while the already established ones are doing the best they can to satisfy the needs of their current market.

That you finally have a link with a number of already established companies does not mean the search has ended. You need to assess the company to know the number of people it has served so far. You should also ask for some contacts of the customer served for gaining confidence with the company. In short, ask as many questions as you can ask before you buy the service.

The problem with most companies is that they place fake host rates on their website with the hope that they will get clients to subscribe for their services. The problem therefore comes in when clients lean about the actual cost of hosting the website. Checks to make sure that the costs are real and that they are constant, not changing from time to time.

One of the biggest problems with many host service is the promise that you will get unlimited bandwidth for your website on a monthly basis. This can be quite hard to believe as most companies actually do not live up to the promise of providing you with unlimited monthly data transfer per second each day. If you are paying for a host that guarantees unlimited bandwidth but does not, be sure you are making the wrong choice of a host service.

You need to know whether you will be on a shared plan or a dedicated service. These are usually hosting terminologies used in reference to the web-hosting plan that a client chooses. Ask them about the amount of disk space they will allocate to you, the number of email clients they will allow you to have and whether there are any hidden costs.

The uptime guarantee of your website, no matter the type, is a very important one. You do not want to wake up one morning or get a call in the middle of the night from a client that your website is down or the server cannot be found. These frustrating moments have made many clients shift from companies to companies in search for a more reliable host service.

Do not plant your money on a service that does not have an uptime guarantee. Some services are horrible, and even though they promise 99.9% up time guarantee, they do not actually live up to this promise. Make sure the guarantee is authentic, not just empty words.
