Cloud hosting in Nigeria, on servers in Lagos

In Naira, by bank transfer or card. Transfer is how most Nigerian business settles anything sizeable, and it is the route most Lineserve customers here use; a card suits a single instance or a monthly renewal.

No. You are paying a Naira amount that settles inside Nigeria, by card or by bank transfer, so it sits outside the international spending cap your bank applies to a Naira card. A dollar invoice from a host abroad sits inside that cap, every month it renews.

Most Nigerian banks did, between 2022 and 2023, and most reopened during 2025 with caps that vary by bank and are reviewed regularly. So the allowance exists again — finite, and worth spending on things that have no Nigerian alternative. Hosting has one: a Naira invoice settled on domestic rails, like any other Nigerian supplier.

What Lineserve accepts is card and bank transfer, in Naira. Money held in a Nigerian wallet reaches a merchant across the same instant interbank rail that money in a bank account does, so a transfer from wherever your Naira sits is the ordinary route. Ask [email protected] for the details before your payment run rather than during it.

No. The NGN figures are Nigeria's own price list, set per currency rather than converted from a USD rate when the page loads. A cloud server starts at NGN 13,890 a month and a Linux VPS at NGN 21,950.

No. Displayed prices exclude VAT. Nigerian VAT on cloud and hosting services is 7.5%, and it is calculated and shown separately at checkout.

Say so at the order rather than at the quarter end. Enforcement for taxpayers above ₦5 billion in turnover began on 1 July 2026 with a 31 July 2026 deadline, and onboarding runs through an approved Access Point Provider. Tell [email protected] what your provider needs to see on a supplier invoice, and send your TIN with it.

Yes. Data you put in ng-1a is held in Lagos and is not moved out of the country without your instruction. That gives you data residency for Nigeria's Data Protection Act.

Hosting in ng-1a means the data is in Nigeria, which is the part a hosting provider supplies. Whether your overall architecture satisfies circular PSS/DIR/PUB/CIR/001/004 by 1 January 2027 is an assessment about your systems and your processes, made with your own advisers.

No. Amazon's African region is Cape Town and Microsoft's is in South Africa. Lagos carries edge infrastructure — a local zone, content delivery and interconnect points of presence — but the compute behind it runs in another country. ng-1a is a region in this one.

Because a good deal of traffic between African networks still transits Europe to get from one to the other, so a short geographic hop can be a long network path. It is the same problem that used to send traffic between two Nigerian networks to London and back — and it is what a national exchange in Lagos removes for domestic traffic.

If your users are in Nigeria and your server is in Lagos, their traffic did not need the cable. That is what 14 March 2024 demonstrated: four systems cut at once, thirteen countries disrupted, and Nigerian services hosted abroad unreachable to their own users. Hosting in-country keeps the subsea path out of the critical route for domestic traffic.

It stops being your problem to solve with diesel. The machine is not on your building's supply, so a grid failure at your address does not take the workload down — it takes down your ability to sit in front of it, and a browser on mobile data is enough to keep working. That is the whole argument for moving a server out of a Nigerian office, with a 99.9% uptime SLA behind it.

The contracting entity is LINESERVE, INC. What is in Nigeria is the infrastructure: region ng-1a in Lagos, billing in Naira, and data held in the country.

A cloud server built from 1 vCPU, 1 GB of RAM, 20 GB of SSD and one IPv4 is NGN 13,890 a month and deploys in under 60 seconds. Resize it when the traffic arrives, or move to annual billing at ten months for twelve once you know the shape of the workload.

Be clear about what you are buying. Retail broker matching engines sit in London and New York, so a Lagos instance is not an execution-venue play. What it gives a Nigerian trader is a terminal that keeps running when the flat has no power and no internet, and a Naira bill instead of a monthly dollar subscription. The Nigerian forex VPS page goes through it properly.

Nigeria runs on West Africa Time, UTC+1, with no daylight saving — two hours behind Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. Reach the team at [email protected] or through the ticket system, and note the offset when you diary a change window.

Yes. Migration planning and assistance are included at no extra charge, whether you are coming from a Nigerian shared host, your own server room, or a provider on another continent.
