domainking.ng is a fake web hosting company. They have duped me of my money twice. Firstly, i made a payment of N3600 for one year shared web hosting through cash envoy payment system on their platform. They claimed that they didn’t see my transaction and my money was gone.
Secondly, on another occasion, I made another payment of same amount for another shared host service on domainking.ng They gave me the service and they suspended it before 48 hours. They also refused refunding me my money on both occasions. They don’t have physical address or phone number. Don’t fall victim like i did. Be careful
