Somalilandpress set to relocate to bigger servers

We will be migrating to new, bigger and better servers, which will enable us to carry out plans that we have for future growth including more wider regional coverage.

Our prime focus will be to cover the latest events from Somaliland, Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritrea and Kenya – or the Horn of Africa.

We thank everyone for their support and we promise to deliver bigger and better services. If it all goes as planned we should have new features unseen on Somali websites in the future.

The migration might take anything between 24 hours and 48 hours due to time differences between the different teams involved in the upgrade.

Bigger, better, faster and broader Somalilandpress is the direction we want to go and we hope you can all experience the different phases of growth with us.

Somalilandpress gone global

Here are some stories that made Somalilandpress and went viral or popular in the international stage:

1: SOMALIA: Russia executed all Somali pirates – spokesman – we broke this story first and it just went crazy on the internet with more than 10 million views.

2: Coca-Cola Recipe Leaked: Alcohol and Anti-Muslim messages – became very popular.

3: LIBYA: Rebels execute black immigrants while forces kidnap others – One of the biggest stories to come out of Libya during the uprise.

4: Somali gang linked to Minnesota sex trafficking – Shocked many of our viewers even though this story was Star Tribune, ABC News, and Channel 5.

5: SOMALIA: Radioactive waste surfaces in the coastline – Minister – Before Al Jazeera and everyone we covered this story which went global and was the root cause of Somalia’s maritime piracy.

Somalilandpress continues to share information and stories with some of the leading Norwegian, Spanish, American, Indian and British media houses including the BBC.

Thank You,

Somalilandpress team.

Well done to SP. You are defintely getting better and better all the time. You are far more journalistically objective and there is something fresh, urgent and swish about your graphics and display. The quality in terms of language and grammar is now flawles. (there used to be well, issues)

But be even more objective though. Also Opinions should be separated from news items. And hey commercialise a bit more. Sell your stories if you can. Have stringers paid by commission across Africa and the ME. Did you know that a while back the Economist, perhaps the most prestigious newsmagazine in the World re-published one of your stories? If your stuff was good enough for TE I bet it will be good enough for everyone else.

Congratulation SomalilandPress,
You've gone global and you are certainly number one leading Somali website. I found SLPress randomly in Google after viewing a random news article. Keeping reporting from every corner of the horn.

Also maintain good quality and professionalism at all times as well as reliable and objective news.

Whatever progress the Somalilandpress says it has made, I firmly believe that it lost great credibility for its usage of double standards, especially when they let Kayse idiot to drop on their site all kinds of his nonsense comments against the people and government of Somaliland but strangely deletes any answers going to him for his rubbish.

Somalilandpress used to be pro Somailand website but no more. My advice to them is, please get another name for your site.

The only problem is that more southerns or anti-Somaliland are flooding in and spreading more of their usual lies whilst more Somalilanders are leaving. I think we need more Somalilanders arguing our case and defending our peaceful state. Nevertheless, SLPress growth is a good chance to promote Somaliland wide.
