Developers in Nigeria, where do you get affordable and reliable hosting and domain services for your clients?
I'm looking for platforms with good pricing and service.
I'd appreciate your recommendations.
@janet_exclusive Honestly, this makes me happy. I wasn't expecting this, but I'm glad ohMARKD is getting noticed. I'm currently working on building it, and I'll be sharing more about the journey as it progresses. Thank you for the interest! π
One thing I've noticed when dealing with clients:
You agree on the website development price, then when you mention hosting and domain, they ask, "Do we still need to pay for that?" π
One thing about starting your tech journey from zero: you won't understand everything immediately.
Sometimes you'll feel stuck, sometimes you'll doubt yourself, but you keep showing up.
Anyone else on this journey?
Trying to land your first client as a developer is a different kind of experience. π
Building projects is one thing. Convincing someone to trust you with their business is another.
Who's currently on this journey?
My sister has a Starlink she uses to run a business in her school.
Recently, she had an issue with her portal and asked her developer to fix it.
He fixed the issue, but somehow managed to switch the payment gateway from LIVE MODE to TEST MODE. π
For the past ONE MONTH, students have been making payments on the portal, but none of the money was real.
My sister didnβt notice because she thought students hadnβt fully resumed, which explained why she wasnβt making as much money as usual.
Until she checked her dashboard and realized people had actually been making payments all along.
IN TEST MODE. π
She called me this morning and said sheβd already contacted the developer, but the guy seemed confused about what test mode even meant.
BRO??? YOU INTEGRATED A PAYMENT GATEWAY AND DONβT KNOW WHAT TEST MODE IS???
An entire month of revenue gone because someone didnβt understand what they were deploying.
Vibe coders, what exactly are you people doing to this industry? π
