Is My Web Master Deceiving Me? by jliusadura(m): 4:07pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
My website domain name and hosting expired last week; I noticed this when I tried to access the site. I called my webmaster and I paid him for for renewal as he requested. That was last Saturday and he told me the site should come up on Tuesday or latest Wednesday. The problem is that up till now the site has not come - anytime I open it it brings: This domain may be for sale. Backorder this Domain link This Domain Name Has Expired - Renewal Instructions link. I have called the webmaster and he told me he has renewed it and that the site is probating. Now he is not picking my calls while the current situation is affecting my business negatively. My questions are: Is it possible to renew and after almost a week the site would not come up? what is probating? do you think he's lying about the renewal? what do you think the problem is? please I want to know because I know you guys in this section know much about the subject. Please help a brother. THanks |

jliusadura:First, Webmasters don't lie, but they lie under frustration; It may have happened that, he slept off, unknowing the domain and hosting are getting expired or his acct was suspended for a reason... So if it is the first instance, then u might have luck to get the domain back, the price might be changed... But if it is the other way round, It is him who has the fault, so he will have to appeal to his host, but fear not, just pray its not another instance aside the one I stated, If not..? its gone, thats why u must take a glimpse at ur account and mail daily so u wont be caught unaware... Goodluck.. |

mokoshalb: Thank you. I asked him to tell me if there is definite problem I can know but he did not, telling me to be patient. Please how long after expiration does one loose a domain name? |

You guys didnt advice the op in the best possible way why tryin to defend the webmaster. Here's my advie since it's affecting your business negatively,register it yourself and request for a full refund. Shikena it can be resolved in a timely manner so why wait for someone who has used your money for nairabet and lost ? |
Re: Is My Web Master Deceiving Me? by mokoshalb(m): 8:10pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
supersystems:And do you think a refund is possible..? Unless he is nor a ***** else..? |
Re: Is My Web Master Deceiving Me? by mokoshalb(m): 8:11pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
jliusadura:immediately, some registrar might help u retain it while some will let's it go... |

mokoshalb: Nice thought bro,it is just to quickly help him reach the bus stop to acceot he has been conned.I think we web guys should let ppl knw how o renew their hostings without a third party to avoid this kind of issues. Imagine what it could be doing to the young man's business ? |

A friend of mine lost his domain nam that was enjoying over 250k visits due to this kind of scenario. I dont think he has recovered in rebuilding 4 years on.Which is why our brother needs to heed d quickest solution before someone else registers it and requests outrageous sum from him for what he previously owned.. Dont u think ? |
Re: Is My Web Master Deceiving Me? by mokoshalb(m): 9:28pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
supersystems:You are right... My Clients are safe, I believe... @OP which platform is the website on and how old is it..? |
Re: Is My Web Master Deceiving Me? by mokoshalb(m): 9:30pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
supersystems:yea, u are absolutely true, once a quality domain loosen, it will go for price that is 100% of the actual price... |
Re: Is My Web Master Deceiving Me? by Nobody: 9:40pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
mokoshalb: Broeht since you mentioned web mastes are pushed to tiht corners by temptations may i know why we refuse to let tpeople in on how to register their domains n hosts themselves ? It's not like the profit can buy a good shoe. |
Re: Is My Web Master Deceiving Me? by mokoshalb(m): 9:57pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
supersystems:I love this question as much as I expected it!, Yeah, not all clients understand or can control their host themselves, some just want it set up, and have access to the dashboard... So I always assure them, that any disappointment, I take the blame... But you may meet some others who understand a bit about it and u create it separately for them... It all depends... ![]() |

mokoshalb: I epected this answer Genius. Trust me hthere's nothing technical about letting ppl in on how to make renewals for their hosts if one wants to maintain a standard and avoid this kind of temptions. Let us rid Nigeria of greed and thief thief. We are tired of scamming each other.The victim is in pains... |
Re: Is My Web Master Deceiving Me? by mokoshalb(m): 11:29pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
supersystems:Yea, they might know of the payments, due date, how it works, but assume a layman enters ordinary cpanel, he might get confused and get things wrong... and if any problem arises at any time, it might cause him headache instead if in care of a TRUSTED developer, all will be good... But I see no gain in scamming, In myself I believe those scamming have no knowledge of these web works... A good web developer will never, I mean never scam his/her clients, but the otherwise will do... ![]() |

mokoshalb: Brother moko,web developers can be inconsistent people anyday anytime. You may be a standout but trust me i've been around the least consistent workers on earth are web developers. |
Re: Is My Web Master Deceiving Me? by mokoshalb(m): 11:51pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
supersystems:hmm.. that may be true, but from my few experience, I discovered some clients frustrates their developer so much... Sometimes you might offer a web services for a client, in ur mind, you just offered the best out of the rest, but the client won't see that part, yet they keep tracking ur mistakes, which makes some developers, turn black to them, and sometime they offer below per for them... So it falls both side, like the OP's case, I believe there is more to it... ![]() |

mokoshalb: I believe you. Very correct but web masters can be very silly tricksters..Lol |
