Most Nigerian hosting companies are into the game of discounting their prices or in more economic terms "engaging in price undercutting". Here you'll see a company selling hosting space for as low as N2,000 and before you blink your eyes you see another offering the same hosting space for less than N1,500.
This is good for the customer as it allows you to "comparison shop" and decide who to go with but in some cases these companies barely improve their services beyond the price. You might end up hosting your site on servers that are already dead or have so much downtime that NEPA will be more reliable than them or worse pay for a shared hosting server while you think you are paying for a dedicated one.
No thanks to companies like e-nom and reseller club the price of owning a reseller web hosting business has dropped considerably but that also means that every Tom, Dick and Harry that can operate a mouse feels they can then run a hosting company.
When it comes to Nigerian webhosting companies Technical support, nay prompt technical support rather than price or any other factor should be one of the criterias for choosing a great host. You'll want a webhost that can pick your calls by 5.30pm on friday or reply to your r-mails at 2pm on saturday and help you resolve any problem you have. And also one with severs more probably in the US, Canada or India. and low priced webhosting companies may not be able to offer this privileged to you.
Don't always base your assumption that a good Nigerian web host must surely be the cheapest. Check out a rollsRoyce car and a Mitsubishi Bus, which one works better and is of much pride? The Rolls Royce of course.
So Look out for price undercutting from Nigerian web hosts and try to go for the best placed one. Here's a short albeit biased webhosting in nigeria article that can also be of help too. ;-)
