Slowest support and hosting ever

Web4Africa promised great service, but all I got was frustration. Their hosting is painfully slow, my website takes ages to load. Their domain renewal process is a mess, I waited a week for a simple renewal. And their ticket system? I submitted a ticket and got a reply after four days. Absolutely pathetic. I'm moving to a better provider asap.

Horrible support and slow hosting

I needed help transferring my domain and their support was the slowest I've experienced. I waited over a week for a reply about my domain renewal. The hosting is bad too, my site keeps timing out. I'm fed up with the lack of urgency and the poor performance. Web4Africa has been a huge disappointment.

Disappointed with bad hosting and slow tickets

I've used a few hosting providers over the years but Web4Africa takes the cake for being the worst. My website kept crashing and when I opened a support ticket it took them over 48 hours to respond with a useless answer. Domain renewal was also a hassle, the system glitched and I had to call them to sort it out. The whole experience feels unprofessional and outdated. I'm honestly surprised they're still in business. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Total disappointment with Web4Africa

I honestly regret using Web4Africa. Their hosting is so slow it's unusable, and their domain renewal process took forever. I submitted a ticket about a technical issue and got no response for days. The slowest ticket system I've ever experienced. I'm switching to a different provider and I suggest you do the same.

Bad hosting and even worse support

Honestly I regret signing up with Web4Africa. Their hosting is bad, my site was down more than it was up. I submitted a ticket about the slow performance and it took them nearly two weeks to even acknowledge my issue. My domain renewal was also a hassle because their system kept erroring out. I had to chase them for days. Just a frustrating experience all around.

Complete waste of money

Web4Africa has been nothing but trouble since day one. Their hosting is bad with constant errors and my website is always down. I needed to renew my domain and it took them forever to process it. Their ticket support is the slowest I have ever seen too. I waited four days for a reply to a simple question. This company is a scam in my opinion. I am moving everything to another provider right now.

Hosting is unusably slow and support is nonexistent

I signed up for their hosting thinking a company since 2002 would be reliable. Big mistake. My pages take forever to load and the control panel is a nightmare. I submitted a ticket about the slowness a week ago and still no reply. The slowest ticket response I have ever dealt with. I am not a tech expert but even I can tell their infrastructure is outdated. Save yourself the headache.

I cannot believe how bad their domain renewal system is

I had a domain with Web4Africa that I needed to renew urgently because it was about to expire. I submitted a request and then waited a week with no response. I called them and they said they would process it but then nothing happened. It took ten days and multiple phone calls before they finally renewed it. By then my website had been down for days and I lost a lot of traffic. Their hosting is also terrible, I tried their basic plan and my site was always slow. I do not understand how they are still in business with such bad service. I am moving all my domains away.

Slowest ticket response ever

I am writing this review in frustration. Web4Africa has the slowest ticket system I have ever encountered, I submitted a support request about a server error and it took them five days to reply. Domain renewal is equally bad, I paid for a renewal but it took them three days to process, causing my site to go down. The hosting itself is terrible, my website is sluggish and they never fix the issues. I would give zero stars if possible, stay away from this company.

Worst domain renewal experience ever

I had a domain with Web4Africa for years, but this year I forgot to auto renew. When I tried to manually renew, it was a nightmare. Their system kept giving errors, and support took over 48 hours to respond. I was panicking because my domain was about to expire. Eventually they fixed it, but the stress wasn't worth it. And their hosting? I tried it once, pages took forever to load. Avoid at all costs.
