These are my top 9 reasons to host your website with DomainKing.NG, based on my knowledge and/or experiences.

1. Highly Affordable Hosting Plans in Nigeria with Free Domain:

Price of a service is the first thing that attracts anyone and DomainKing is able to keep this while offering the same and better services at less cost than most of the providers in Nigeria.

You can buy web hosting for just N300/month if you sign up for Soldier hosting plan. This will look a lot cheaper to you when you will see all their premium features that you will get for Free with their hosting.

2. Faster Websites

• LiteSpeed: If you are already a frequent reader of our blog, then you’d know that we have always insisted on going with the providers that offers – LiteSpeed with their hosting. This is because LiteSpeed is much better than Apache when it comes to load balancing and traffic handling.

DomainKing.NG uses award-winning LiteSpeed web server and you can expect a 2X faster website on DomainKing hosting than normal apache servers used by most hosting providers.

• SSD Accelerated Server: DomainKing has recently upgraded their hosting by adding Solid state drives (SSD) to their hosting. As you all know that SSD is always better than traditional HDD & your website will get a 100% increase in speed by switching to an SSD hosting..
• Inbuilt Server caching for 2X Faster WordPress: With LiteSpeed web server you get LS Cache WordPress plugin that gives most optimum page caching in WordPress for best WordPress performance. LiteSpeed clearly outperforms any other caching plugin in the benchmark done by Litespeed Industries Inc.

So, DomainKing hosting makes WordPress really fast upto 5X. So, you can try DomainKing hosting services – if you are looking for cheap web hosting in Nigeria for good website performance.

Unmetered Bandwidth is very rarely provided by any provider in Nigeria. But DomainKing offers unmetered Bandwidth on all of their hosting plans whether it is a started or premium plan. So, you are never going to see Bandwidth limit exceeded error with DomainKing hosting.

When it comes to server resources, DomainKing.NG allows 25 concurrent MySql connections with the King Plan and 20 on other plans that are more than enough for smooth functioning of a normal website.

5. Free SSL with all hosting plans:

Having a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for your website has become really important these days. The fact that major search engines considers it a ranking factor is a good reason to use SSL for all modern websites.

Another reason to consider  SSL for your important websites is the fact that most of the browsers throws warning messages if you access an http URL. You will get Free Auto SSL certificate powered by Commodo with every hosting plan on DomainKing.NG.

6. Free Daily Backups:

DomainKing provides you with free daily backup for your website hosted with them. So, if you accidentally delete your website or you lose your data due to any reason. You can always be sure that you will get your website back online asap with free backups in cPanel.

This is an important feature to look out for when seeking an honest DomainKing.NG review. It is a feature that gives them an advantage over most Nigerian hosts. Hardly does  a Nigerian hosting company offer a cheap hosting plan with daily backups as an option.
