We are back!
On 27.10.2025, our long time domain Roteck.co.za was hijacked and locked by a fraudulent web designer “Home Of Design/Glaaif IT Solutions“ in Pretoria, with support and assistance of “Register Domain SA (Pty) Ltd“, a hosting company in Cape Town.
“Home Of Design” was contracted to simply recover our than new website, from a hostile shared hosting environment, with no backup, control or account access, and install the site on a local server instead. “Home Of Design” failed to even copy the then still existing design miserably, and the proposed “new design” was simply disgusting. As “revenge” for my complaint, “Home Of Design” blocked the use of the domain, asked for ransom (I did not pay), and finally left some nasty reviews on Google. This is not just childish, not business alike, and might serve as a public warning, not to give hosting account credentials to anyone. Honest web designers only require FTP access for setup and changes and for your own safety, lock and change the password immediately after your site is final.
Temporary we used our new domain, rotecksouthafrica.co.za for hosting website and mail service. After the domain Roteck.co.za was expired and deleted by the registrar, we finally could re-register and use it in our name. Please click here to enter our website. Thank you.
