Earlier this month, February 2017, DomainKing Nigeria announced that they were having technical issues which had largely affected their customers. The India based web hosting company haven't been able to provide services or maintain services provided to its customers. All websites hosted and domains bought on DomainKing.ng were down due to "server error". Their support system never responded to queries and emails and their site was still open to ignorant victims, who bought services that never got completed or processed...They totally left their desperate customers hanging without tangible updates about their issues...  No update came from their Facebook page after 10th of February 2017. Well, few days ago, when customers thought all was over because services seemed to have come back to normal and inaccessible sites were once more accessible, domanking.ng was shut down on 27th February 2017 hopefully temporarily by NIRA... Ouch!  The Nigeria Internet Reg...

I came across WPS Office some time ago while looking for an android notebook and in the long run, it has proven to be the best I've used so far... WPS Office comes with so many features and can do most things the famous Microsoft Office does. It creates Documents, memos, spreadsheets and presentations just like Microsoft office. WPS office reads and creates PDF, Doc, text and lot of other files, it let you save your work without the popular annoying watermarks. WPS office not only provides you a reader but also the ability to edit the files you read.  One awesome feature I discovered about it, is its ability to read almost every file... It actually penetrates zipped files... Awesome! Although this application cannot be compared to Microsoft Office but for its diversity of use, it should win every android user's heart especially people like me who enjoy writing notes with their phones.
