Best VPS Hosting in Nigeria: Who Actually Hosts Here, and What It Costs in Naira
Naira prices, specs and stated server locations for the prominent VPS providers selling in Nigeria — including the well-known Nigerian brands whose own pages say the server is in Frankfurt, Europe or South Africa.
If you want the server itself sitting in Nigeria, the providers whose own pages name Nigeria as the location and print a price you can read from a plan page are Hostraha, WhoGoHost, HostAfrica, Layer3, Melbicom and Lineserve. MTN Cloud belongs on the location list but not the price one: it names Nigeria and quotes on request. Several of the best-known Nigerian hosting brands are not on either list — some because their own pricing pages say the machine is in Frankfurt, Europe or South Africa, and others because they never say at all.
“VPS hosting in Nigeria” is sold as one thing and is really two: a company that bills you in naira, and a server that is physically in the country. Plenty of providers do the first. Far fewer do the second, and against the cheapest German machine here it costs about twice as much at the low end and three and a half times at the top.
Every provider that publishes a naira price for 2 virtual CPUs and 4 GB of RAM, at that shape:
| Provider | Where the server is | Price per month |
|---|---|---|
| telaHosting | Germany | ₦14,000 (40 GB) |
| Truehost Nigeria | “Europe / USA” | ₦19,527 (100 GB) |
| Lineserve Cloud Server | Lagos | ₦27,400 (20 GB) |
| QServers | not stated | ₦29,500 (75 GB) |
| WhoGoHost, and HostAfrica on the same ladder | Nigeria, no facility named | ₦36,550 (100 GB) |
| Layer3 Cloud | Lagos / Abuja | ₦49,650.81 (64 GB, compute only) |
| Hostraha | Lagos, Nairobi or Europe | ₦49,980 (40 GB) |
Smaller and cheaper machines exist on both sides of that line, and they are in the full table below.
Three terms, defined. A VPS is a slice of a physical server that behaves like a machine of your own: your own operating system, your own root login, resources that are yours rather than shared. A vCPU is one of those reserved processor threads. Transfer (also called bandwidth) is how much data your server may send and receive each month — a different thing from port speed, which is how fast it may send at any moment.
Which one, for whom
Your users are in Nigeria and the site feels slow. Pay for Nigerian hosting. A server in Frankfurt puts the whole distance into every connection your visitors open — the handshake before the first byte, and again for anything the browser has not cached. At 2 vCPU and 4 GB the cheapest of the providers that name a Nigerian city is Lineserve’s built Cloud Server at ₦27,400, and among fixed plans Lineserve’s M1 at ₦42,400 gives twice the disk of Hostraha’s ₦49,980 plan for ₦7,580 less — we sell one of these, so check that against the table rather than taking it from us. Two things cut the other way and should decide it if they matter to you: Hostraha publishes a per-plan transfer allowance and its IPv4 and IPv6 counts, where we publish neither, and WhoGoHost at ₦36,550 buys 100 GB of disk where our ₦27,400 buys 20 — match its disk and ours comes to ₦47,400, so WhoGoHost is the cheaper machine once storage is what you need, provided you will accept “hosted locally in Nigeria” with no city named. Hostraha is the only provider here that offers a country choice at the point of sale — worth having, though it names no facility, and see the warning below about what that control actually offers. WhoGoHost is cheaper at the same specs and says “hosted locally in Nigeria”, though it names no city or facility anywhere on its site. Note before you treat it as a separate option: WhoGoHost (formerly GO54), HostAfrica and DomainKing.ng are one group — WhoGoHost’s own pages carry the footer “© 2026 HOSTAFRICA NIGERIA LIMITED”, DomainKing.ng says it “is a brand of Host Africa (Pty) Ltd”, and WhoGoHost’s checkout hands you to my.hostafrica.com. The group tells you two different things about location: WhoGoHost says Nigeria, DomainKing says South Africa.
You handle Nigerians’ personal data and someone has asked where it lives. You need a provider that will name the country in writing, and you need to know which instrument is being asked about — the Nigeria Data Protection Act and its regulator for personal data, or NITDA’s cloud policy if the data belongs to a government body. Layer3 Cloud (“all hosted locally in Nigeria”, availability zones in Abuja and Lagos), MTN Cloud and Hostraha all name Nigeria. Layer3 and MTN will not sell to you online, but they will put the answer in a contract. Ask Layer3 in particular to reconcile its “all hosted locally in Nigeria” with the “Global Data Center Network” it lists as a feature of every plan.
You just want the cheapest server that works, and your users are anywhere. Buy outside Nigeria and stop paying the local premium. telaHosting at ₦14,000 is the cheapest naira-billed 2 vCPU / 4 GB machine on this page, and it is upfront that the server is in Germany. Truehost Nigeria is ₦5,527 more for two and a half times the disk and twice the transfer, in “Europe / USA”; if 4 GB is more than you need, its entry plan is ₦7,657 for 1 vCPU, 1 GB and 25 GB, the lowest naira price for a machine anyone on this page will actually sell you.
You want a server without becoming its administrator. A VPS normally hands you an empty machine and the root password, and keeping it patched from then on is your problem. QServers and AbollyHost describe every plan as fully managed, with cPanel or cPanel/WHM included in the price. telaHosting and Truehost sell the two arrangements as separate lines — Truehost’s managed tier “handle[s] everything for you — updates, security, backups”, and telaHosting’s starts at ₦49,000 a month for 2 vCPU, 4 GB and 80 GB with cPanel, WHM reseller access, migration and hardening, three and a half times what the same processor and memory cost unmanaged, with the transfer allowance dropping from 5 TB to 1 TB in the trade. The group behind WhoGoHost and HostAfrica is the blunt one: that C1–C9 ladder “is self-managed, making it ideal for IT professionals and devs”. If that is not a description of you, the cheapest Nigeria-located plan on this page is not the one to start on.
You are a bank, a fintech under regulatory pressure, or buying more than a handful of servers. Talk to Layer3, MTN Cloud or Nobus rather than buying from a plan table. Nobus bills in naira and lets you register without a sales call, but does not say where any of it runs.
The comparison: providers selling to Nigerian buyers with a published naira price
Every provider here sells more sizes than the two shown: its cheapest plan, and its nearest match to 2 vCPU and 4 GB. Prices are as published, in each provider’s own billing term.
| Provider | Plan | vCPU | RAM | Storage | Transfer | Price/month | Where the server is |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| QServers | VPS-A | 2 | 2 GB | 25 GB SSD | 250 GB | ₦10,000 | not stated |
| QServers | VPS-C | 2 | 4 GB | 75 GB SSD | 750 GB | ₦29,500 | not stated |
| SmartWeb | Linux VPS 1 | 1 core | 2 GB | 40 GB RAID hard drive | 2 TB | ₦10,000 | not stated |
| SmartWeb | Linux VPS 3 | 2 cores | 6 GB | 120 GB RAID hard drive | 6 TB | ₦30,000 | not stated |
| WhoGoHost | C1 | 1 | 1 GB | 20 GB SSD | “Unlimited Traffic” | ₦11,050 | Nigeria, unnamed facility |
| WhoGoHost | C4 | 2 | 4 GB | 100 GB SSD | “Unlimited Traffic” | ₦36,550 | Nigeria, unnamed facility |
| Lineserve | S2 | 1 | 2 GB | 40 GB SSD | not published | ₦21,950 | Lagos |
| Lineserve | Cloud Server, Lagos minimum | 2 | 4 GB | 20 GB | not published | ₦27,400 | Lagos |
| AbollyHost | entry | 4 | 8 GB | 100 GB SSD | “Unlimited” | ₦39,500 | not stated |
| Layer3 Cloud | Starter, entry | 1 | 1 GB | 64 GB SSD | not published | ₦24,779.59 | Lagos / Abuja |
| Layer3 Cloud | Starter, 2 vCPU / 4 GB | 2 | 4 GB | 64 GB SSD | not published | ₦49,650.81 | Lagos / Abuja |
| Hostraha | Linux VPS – 4 GB | 2 | 4 GB | 40 GB SSD | 2 TB | ₦49,980 | selectable at checkout |
| Hostraha | Linux VPS – 8 GB | 4 | 8 GB | 80 GB SSD | 4 TB | ₦89,980 | selectable at checkout |
| HostAfrica | C1 | 1 | 1 GB | 20 GB NVMe | “Unlimited” | ₦11,050 | selectable at checkout |
HostAfrica sells the same C1–C9 ladder as WhoGoHost, at the same prices, from the same group — its Nigerian storefront starts at ₦11,050. Its “Unlimited bandwidth up to 1 Gbps port (Fair usage policy applies)” reads like a definition and is not one — 1 Gbps is the port speed, not the allowance, and the policy it defers to is where the real limit sits. Two others sell into Nigeria in another currency: Melbicom publishes €5.70 to €91.20 a month across five Lagos plans, on a price block its own page has not revalidated since the end of 2025, and UltaHost bills in dollars.
AfeesHost is the cheapest name you will meet in these search results and you cannot buy from it. Its marketing page advertises VPS plans from ₦3,500, and its own order store lists every one of them as “0 Available”. The structured data on that marketing page dates it to April 2021, and the copy beside those prices still offers “Linux OS flavor-CentOS 6” — a release that stopped receiving security updates in November 2020. Treat any roundup that ranks AfeesHost on price as having read the advertisement rather than the shop.
Nobody here is cheapest everywhere, and the ordering changes with the tier. At 2 GB, SmartWeb’s ₦10,000 (1 core, 40 GB) and QServers’ VPS-A at ₦10,000 (2 CPU, 25 GB) both undercut WhoGoHost’s ₦11,050 C1, which carries 1 GB. At 4 vCPU and 8 GB, AbollyHost’s ₦39,500 is roughly half WhoGoHost’s C5 at ₦73,100 and Lineserve’s L1 at ₦83,300. And SmartWeb’s ₦30,000 Linux VPS 3 — 2 cores, 6 GB, 120 GB — is more machine for less money than either WhoGoHost’s ₦36,550 C4 or Hostraha’s ₦49,980 4 GB plan, the two nearest Nigeria-located plans. It is the hardest case against paying the premium: more machine, less money, and no stated country.
“Unlimited” and “2 TB” are not the same promise. QServers publishes the smallest hard transfer number here, 250 GB on the entry plan. AbollyHost’s “Unlimited Monthly Bandwidth” is not defined anywhere on its pages. WhoGoHost’s “Unlimited Traffic” is not defined on its either, and the group’s terms describe two separate limits behind that word. There is a monthly one — you are “allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance” that “varies depending on the hosting package”, with suspension reserved as the remedy — and the terms never print what it is for any package. There is also a throughput one: sustained transfer above 200 Mbit/s for longer than 240 minutes, or above 500 Mbit/s for longer than 20 minutes, sits among the prohibited practices. So “unlimited” here means a cap that exists, applies monthly, and is not published. Ask what it is for the plan you are buying before you treat it as uncapped. Melbicom is the most specific up front: 1 TB a month on its entry Lagos plan, after which the server is throttled to 10 Mbit/s rather than billed.
AbollyHost describes itself as “Nigeria’s offshore, standard & DMCA-ignored hosting provider since 2017”, and names no hosting location on its VPS page or in its store; its terms place only the anonymous-hosting plans, not the VPS, in unnamed “offshore jurisdictions outside the United States”. Offshore, DMCA-ignored hosting is a different product from a Nigerian-hosted business server, and the price reflects that.
Four providers contradict themselves on their own pricing pages. WhoGoHost’s Windows VPS page promises “99.99% uptime guarantee” at the top and “99% uptime guaranteed” on every plan row — the difference between about 4 minutes and about 7 hours of permitted downtime a month. HostAfrica does the same: a “99.9% uptime guarantee” banner above plan cards that each say “99% uptime guaranteed”. telaHosting carries all three of 99.99%, 99.9% and 99% on one page. AbollyHost’s store lists “Unlimited Monthly Bandwidth” on its entry plan and “100 TB Monthly Bandwidth” on the two above it. Treat a headline figure on a pricing page as marketing until you have seen the service agreement.
Hostraha’s country selector does not default to Nigeria. The plan cards say “Choose from Kenya | Nigeria | Tanzania DC”. The order form offers Kenya, Nigeria, Europe and “Other” — no Tanzania — and it opens on “None Selected”. Pick the country on the order form and confirm it appears on the invoice before you pay.
What the price includes, and how you buy it
Two machines at the same price are not the same purchase if one includes an IP address, a control panel and someone to call, and one of these providers will not take your order online at all.
| Provider | How you buy | What the published figure covers besides the machine |
|---|---|---|
| QServers | store at process.qservers.net |
fully managed, cPanel/WHM, 1 static IPv4, root access; no backups |
| SmartWeb | cart | root access, 1 IP address; no backups |
| WhoGoHost | cart at my.hostafrica.com |
1 static IPv4, ECC memory, KVM, root and SSH, DNS and rDNS control |
| HostAfrica | cart | the same, from the same group |
| Lineserve | console signup | an IPv6 block; VAT added at checkout |
| AbollyHost | store at client.abollyhost.com |
managed, free cPanel licence, root access, DDoS protection, 24/7 support |
| Layer3 Cloud | “Contact Sales” only | CPU, RAM and storage. Not support. Not an IP address |
| Hostraha | store at portal.hostraha.com |
1 IPv4 and 16 IPv6, a port up to 1 Gbps |
| telaHosting | cart | root access, free SSL certificates |
| Truehost Nigeria | cart | Linux, and no setup fee |
| Melbicom | client area | 1 IPv4 and 16 IPv6, both free |
Layer3’s published prices are its compute-only tab. Its pricing page carries three — “Basic MRC”, “MRC + Support + IP” and “MRC + Support + IP + Sentinel-1” — and the naira figures it publishes, ₦24,779.59 up to ₦64,053.41, all sit under the first. Layer3 defines that charge as “the base monthly cost for your virtual machine, including CPU, RAM, and storage resources”, and describes the second tab as the “complete package including technical support and dedicated IP address”. An IP address is ₦1,162 a month on its own rate card. Put ₦49,650.81 beside a competitor’s all-in monthly price and you are understating what Layer3 costs. Its page also offers Professional (4–8 vCPU), Enterprise (12 vCPU) and High Performance (16–24 vCPU) tiers above Starter, and publishes no price for any of them.
QServers publishes a Lagos address, and it is an office. “11 Adeleke Street, Off Allen Avenue. Ikeja – Lagos. Nigeria.” appears on both the VPS page and the About page; neither says where the servers are, and “infrastructure optimized for Nigerian users” is a claim about tuning rather than geography. The processor line reads “Intel Dual Xeon”, which names the host chip and not your share of it — the CPU count appears only in the store, and there it runs backwards: VPS-A at ₦10,000 gets 2 CPUs and VPS-B at ₦20,000 gets 1, for the same 2 GB of memory. Every plan states “No Backups”, and the same store sells “Backup VPS” as a separate purchase.
SmartWeb does not commit to KVM on its four cheapest plans. Its VPS page offers “Control Panel OpenVZ or KVM” across the range, and its store names KVM virtualisation only from Cloud Linux VPS 5 upward. An OpenVZ container shares the host’s kernel, so you cannot load kernel modules or boot a kernel of your own — a real constraint on a machine you chose for root access. The same two pages also disagree about the disk: “40 GB RAID Hard Drive” on the VPS page against “40 GB SSD Drive” in the store, same plan, same ₦10,000. Ask which one arrives.
AbollyHost’s transfer allowance shrinks as the price climbs. Its store gives “Unlimited Monthly Bandwidth” to the ₦39,500 entry plan, “100 TB” to the two above it, and “10 TB” to the ₦139,500 top plan — the most expensive machine in the range carries the smallest stated allowance in it. Cores, memory and disk all rise normally.
Hostraha’s longer terms are the cheaper way to buy the same server. Its checkout prices the 4 GB plan at ₦49,980 monthly, ₦142,440 quarterly, ₦269,900 half-yearly and ₦479,800 annually; the annual figure is ₦119,960 less than twelve monthly payments. Its order summary lists the setup fee at ₦0.00. The company you contract with is in Nairobi — 15th Floor, Utalii Lane, View Park Towers — whichever country you pick for the server.
Setup fees and refunds are where this market goes quiet. Three checkouts state a setup fee and all three are zero: AbollyHost and Truehost both print “FREE! Setup Fee”, and Hostraha’s order summary shows ₦0.00. Layer3’s own pricing FAQ asks “Is there a setup fee?” and never answers it. On refunds, five providers publish a window, and they are nowhere near each other — SmartWeb 30 days, Truehost 30, UltaHost 30, AbollyHost 14, and telaHosting 5 days on unmanaged plans or 10 on managed. Truehost’s sits in the FAQ below its plan cards rather than beside the price, which is worth knowing before you assume a provider offers nothing. Where a provider names neither a setup fee nor a refund window, get both in writing before you pay.
Paying is the easy part. AbollyHost answers the question directly — “Cards, bank transfer, Paystack, Flutterwave, Paga and crypto” — and telaHosting lists Visa and Mastercard, Paystack, Flutterwave, bank transfer and cryptocurrency. WhoGoHost’s own answer is worth reading twice: naira payment runs through “Paystack, Flutterwave, bank transfers, and other local methods” even where, in its words, “the price may be listed in another currency”. Hostraha is the outlier, and reasonably so for a Kenyan company — its footer accepts “VISA MC MPESA PAYPAL” and names no Nigerian rail at all.
The providers whose own pages say the server is not in Nigeria
None of this is hidden. Each of these companies publishes the location; it simply sits well below a page title that says Nigeria.
| Provider | What the page is titled | Where the page says the server is |
|---|---|---|
| Truehost Nigeria | “Best VPS Hosting in Nigeria” | “Data Centers: Europe / USA” — on every VPS plan |
| telaHosting | “#1 Best NVMe Linux VPS Web Hosting in Nigeria” | “Server Location: Germany” on every plan, “Frankfurt, Germany” on three of five |
| DomainKing.ng | “Best Hosting Company In Nigeria” | “Our servers are located in South Africa.” |
| UltaHost | “VPS Nigeria Hosting … for only $5” | Its own data-centre page marks “Lagos, Nigeria” Coming Soon |
| Hostinger | VPS hosting | “data centers across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America” |
DomainKing.ng no longer sells a VPS at all — its VPS page now returns the homepage, and no virtual-server product appears anywhere on the site. Its answer to “where are your servers located?” is still the plainest in the market. UltaHost is the sharpest case in this group: every plan card on its Nigeria page says “Managed Nigeria Server”, while its own data-centre page lists Lagos under Coming Soon — and the live speed widget on that same Nigeria page reads “Frankfurt Data Center”. Read its headline “$4.80/mo” carefully too. The full line is “Billed for 24 month term. Renews at $4.80/mo for 2 years. Cancel anytime.” The term and the cancellation promise sit in the same breath, so ask what cancelling in month three actually costs before you take the two-year price at face value.
Sites like vpsandserver.com, navicosoft.com and pq.hosting publish one near-identical per-country VPS page for between seventy and a hundred-odd locations. PQ.Hosting’s Nigeria page is not even selling its own server; it is a ranking of other companies. A page that exists for Nigeria and also for Andorra, Abkhazia and Bolivia is a template, not a data centre.
Coming soon, gone, and quote-only
Three names that appear in Nigerian VPS roundups cannot currently be bought from.
RANDHOST — not live yet. Its Lagos page reads “Cloud Servers in Lagos, Nigeria” and then, immediately, “COMING SOON” and “This location is currently in deployment.” Confusingly, the same page also says in the present tense that “RANDHOST’s Lagos data centre provides cloud VPS hosting… all within Nigeria”.
Garanntor — the site is gone. Type garanntor.com into a browser and you land on Verpex, an unrelated international host, with no mention of Garanntor anywhere on the page.
CloudFlex — enterprise only, and quiet. It publishes no price and no signup route; the only path offered is a booked consultation. Its site has not been updated since May 2025.
Three more sell in Nigeria without an open checkout.
MTN Cloud is the one that publishes no figure at all. Its site sells “Virtual Machines & Bare Metal” and a “Pay-As-You-Grow IaaS” tier, and its pricing page promises “Pricing & Billing in Naira” and “Pay-as-you-go” without printing a single number; MTN Business separately lists an “MTN Virtual Private Server”. If you want a large, locally accountable vendor with the data in Nigeria, MTN is the one to ask.
Layer3 Cloud is the most transparent enterprise option in the market. It publishes actual naira prices — the Starter range runs from ₦24,779.59 for 1 vCPU and 1 GB to ₦64,053.41 for 2 vCPU and 6 GB — plus unit rates of ₦2,841.15 per vCPU, ₦6,262.00 per GB of RAM, ₦31.00 per GB of storage and ₦1,162.00 per IP address, a “99.9% Uptime SLA” and named customers. But there is no signup link anywhere; every button leads to “Contact Sales” or a console login. Its certification claims — “ISO Cloud Certified” and “PCI DSS Certified” — carry no standard number, registrar or scope, so ask for the certificate itself if that is why you are buying.
Nobus Cloud does let you register and reach a console, prices in naira, and publishes more of its pricing model than most. Do not start from the figure on its front page: “Flexible Capacity As Low As ₦9,309.00 / Month” appears there and on the pricing page with no vCPU, memory or storage attached to it on either, which makes it a floor rather than a plan. The model underneath it is published in full — fifteen instance types from si.2.2.30.l (2 vCPU, 2 GiB, 30 GB) to si.8.64.50.w (8 vCPU, 64 GiB, 50 GB), block storage at ₦120 per GB-month, and a vCPU rate of ₦93.50 with no billing period stated against it. Do not read that last one as monthly: it cannot be, since the same page sets a ₦9,309 monthly floor, and a 2 vCPU machine at ₦93.50 a month would sit two orders of magnitude below it. Ask Nobus what period it bills that rate over before you compare it with anything here. What it does not publish at all is where any of this runs: its “Tier III Data Center” claim names no facility and its availability-zone map names no city. Ask for the building in writing.
What about AWS, Google Cloud and the usual names?
None of the hyperscalers has a region in Nigeria. Two of them put compute in the country anyway, by different routes.
Africa gets one AWS region (af-south-1, Cape Town), one Google Cloud region (africa-south1) and two Azure regions (southafricanorth and southafricawest) — all of them in South Africa. Vultr publishes 33 locations of which Johannesburg is the only African one; Akamai’s Linode publishes 33 and none in Africa; Hostinger names North America, Europe, Asia and South America.
AWS runs a Local Zone in Lagos — af-south-1-los-1, parented to the Cape Town region — where instances and volumes run on Nigerian soil. It is not a full region, the service catalogue available in it is much smaller, and it does not appear in the region list at all. And Huawei announced Nigeria’s first local cloud on 10 December 2024 — its own announcement, datelined Lagos, says it uses “Tier 3+ data centers” and that “all data remains within Nigeria”. Huawei sells it through its Nigerian channel rather than a self-service console. Google and Microsoft offer neither.
Amazon, Microsoft and Google are all members of the Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria. Peering at an exchange in Lagos means their traffic reaches you quickly. For everything except that one AWS Local Zone, it does not mean you can run a virtual machine there.
The buildings are not the constraint: eighteen Nigerian facilities on the peering registry, including Rack Centre in Ikeja, which describes itself as Tier III certified, and Equinix’s Lekki campus.
Before you pay: five things to check at the checkout
- The renewal price, not the sign-up price. Ask what month thirteen costs. Most providers here show a monthly figure with no term, but the word “From” appears on WhoGoHost’s, HostAfrica’s and AbollyHost’s plan cards.
- VAT. Nigerian VAT is 7.5%, and none of the competitors compared here states on its pricing page whether the figure shown includes it. Lineserve states that VAT is added at checkout, so its naira figures in the tables above are pre-tax — treat everyone else’s the same way until their checkout tells you otherwise. The number that matters is the one on the final screen.
- The transfer allowance, in writing. If the page says “unlimited”, ask for the fair-use threshold and what happens when you cross it — throttled, billed, or suspended.
- Backups, and whether they cost extra. This is the widest split on the page. SmartWeb and QServers include none and say so — “No Backup” on every SmartWeb plan, “No Backups” on every QServers plan — and SmartWeb spells out the consequence: “Our VPS does not come with Backup, However we recommend you to take full responsibility for your own backups.” QServers sells “Backup VPS” as a separate item in the same store. At the other end, HostAfrica publishes “Automatic weekly backups” with snapshots and paid plans on top, Hostraha lists a daily backup service, AbollyHost promises “Daily backups… included”, and Layer3 counts automated backups among the features of every plan. Truehost puts JetBackup 5 and an automatic-backup service in a “Backup Addons” table, which is where you should expect to find the price.
- How you upgrade. QServers answers this honestly and the answer is manual: you open a ticket, the billing team raises an invoice, and the upgrade happens after payment clears.
And one question that costs nothing to ask and splits this market in half: which building is my server in? Of the providers in the comparison above, three — QServers, SmartWeb and AbollyHost — never name a country, and neither does Nobus. Hostraha is a separate case: it names Lagos, Nairobi and Dar es Salaam on its plan cards, but the country selector at checkout opens on “None Selected” and offers Europe alongside them, so which one you get depends on a field you have to notice. Only Melbicom publishes anything about the building itself: 1,200 m², 1.5 MW and a Tier III certification at the site it calls Lagos (LOS1).
Where Lineserve fits
Lineserve runs a Lagos region and publishes naira prices without a quote form. Every plan below is orderable from the console today, without a sales call. The fixed VPS plans:
| Plan | vCPU | RAM | Storage | Price/month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S2 | 1 | 2 GB | 40 GB SSD | ₦21,950 |
| M1 | 2 | 4 GB | 80 GB SSD | ₦42,400 |
| L1 | 4 | 8 GB | 160 GB SSD | ₦83,300 |
| XL1 | 8 | 16 GB | 320 GB SSD | ₦165,100 |
| XXL | 16 | 32 GB | 640 GB SSD | ₦328,700 |
| XXXL | 32 | 64 GB | 1,280 GB SSD | ₦655,900 |
Every one of those includes an IPv6 block, which most of this market does not publish at all. VAT is added at checkout, so treat these as pre-tax figures. We do not publish a per-plan transfer allowance — if a monthly transfer cap is part of your decision, ask us for the number before you commit rather than assuming it is unlimited.
On fixed plans we are not the cheapest. WhoGoHost’s C4 undercuts our M1 by ₦5,850 with 20 GB more disk.
Where we would argue for ourselves is the shape of the machine. Cloud Servers are priced per unit rather than per plan — ₦4,330 per vCPU, ₦3,060 per GB of RAM, ₦250 per GB of storage and ₦1,500 per IPv4 address, per month — so a workload that wants 2 vCPU and 16 GB of RAM does not have to buy 320 GB of disk to get there. In our Lagos region the minimum configuration is 2 vCPU, 4 GB of RAM and 20 GB of storage, which with one IPv4 address comes to ₦27,400 a month, the cheapest naira-priced machine of that shape on this page that names Nigeria as the location. Match WhoGoHost’s 100 GB of disk and it becomes ₦47,400.
Layer3 and Nobus are the only other providers here publishing naira unit rates rather than fixed plans. The fixed VPS plans above are the simpler choice if you already know the size you want.
