Dedicated Server Hosting in Nigeria

Yes. A dedicated server is single-tenant — every core, gigabyte, and disk belongs to your machine alone. Nothing is shared, virtualized, or oversold.

Absolutely. Install VMware, Proxmox, or any hypervisor and partition the hardware however you like. It's your machine.

Any Linux distribution, Windows Server, or a hypervisor of your choice. You can also bring your own image.

Yes. Every server includes IPMI/BMC access so you can power-cycle, reinstall, and reach the console independently of the operating system.

Yes. Adjust CPU, memory, storage, and RAID, and add IPv4s, bandwidth, or managed services. Tell us your workload and we'll propose a build.

Yes, as an add-on. We can handle OS management, patching, and monitoring so your team can focus on the application rather than the hardware.

In ng-1a, our Lagos region. The machine is provisioned there and stays there unless you move it.

Core 1 is NGN 463,500 a month with a one-time setup fee of NGN 148,500. The line runs through Core 2 at NGN 568,500, Core 3 at NGN 793,500, Core 4 at NGN 1,168,500 and Core 5 at NGN 1,543,500 to Core 6 at NGN 1,948,500 a month, with setup fees of NGN 148,500, NGN 223,500 or NGN 298,500 depending on the configuration. Anything beyond Core 6 is quoted to your specification. Prices exclude VAT.

The first month plus the one-time setup fee, so a Core 1 first invoice is NGN 612,000 and a Core 3 first invoice is NGN 1,017,000. Every invoice after that is the monthly rate alone. VAT at 7.5% is added at checkout.

No — displayed prices exclude VAT, and Nigerian VAT of 7.5% is calculated and shown separately at checkout. For a buyer comparing markets, 7.5% is materially below Kenya's 16% and mainland Tanzania's 18% on the same category of service.

By bank transfer or card, in Naira. For a first invoice in six or seven figures most Nigerian finance teams settle by transfer, which is how business-to-business money moves here; the recurring monthly line is comfortable on either.

Not here. A Lineserve invoice is a Naira payment settled in Nigeria, by transfer or card, so it sits outside the international allowance altogether. Put it beside the alternative before you decide: the major Nigerian banks suspended international transactions on Naira cards between 2022 and 2023 and reopened them during 2025 with caps that vary by bank and are reviewed regularly, so a machine abroad at six figures a month has to come out of that allowance or out of a domiciliary account your treasury keeps funded in Naira.

Possibly, and it is worth settling before the first payment rather than at the first audit. A Nigerian withholding agent files a monthly electronic schedule carrying each supplier's TIN, address, the nature of the transaction, the tax deducted and the invoice number, so your finance team will want the supplier details on file early. The applicable rate turns on the service and on the supplier's residence — Lineserve invoices Nigeria from LINESERVE, INC. — so take it to your tax adviser, and copy [email protected] so the invoicing matches how you remit.

Sometimes — with capital available, a five-year horizon and an engineer who can be at the machine within the hour, owning can be the right call. Price the whole arrangement before you decide, though: a purchase order in a currency you do not earn in, the shipment, the clearing agent, duty and import VAT at the port, the weeks of lead time, then power, cooling, spares, insurance, depreciation and disposal. In Nigeria the power line alone is the one that moves with the diesel price. Renting replaces that entire list with one Naira figure a month.

Power, cooling, physical security, the network and hardware replacement — all of it inside the monthly figure instead of on your diesel account, your maintenance contracts and your weekend. What stays yours is root, IPMI, the operating system, the application and the data. The machine is still run your way; it is simply not run in your building.

Every core, thread, gigabyte of memory and disk in the machine is yours. There is no hypervisor in the way and no other customer on the box, so performance does not move because of somebody else's month-end batch. The Core line is RAID-1 usable SSD with a dedicated IPv4, a free /64 of IPv6, unlimited local traffic and out-of-band IPMI on every machine.

Ready Core configurations that are in stock come online within hours. Custom builds are quoted with a short lead time while the hardware is assembled and tested — still a fraction of the time it takes to import a machine of your own into Nigeria.

Yes. Beyond the six ready builds you can specify CPU, memory, storage and RAID level, add IPv4 addresses or bandwidth, and run any Linux distribution, Windows Server, or a hypervisor of your own. Managed cover for OS management, patching and monitoring is available as an add-on.

Yes. Your data is held in Lagos and stays in-country, which gives you data residency for Nigeria's Data Protection Act (NDPA). It is not moved out of Nigeria without your instruction.

Compliance is yours as the controller — registration with the Commission where section 44 applies to you, your notices, your lawful basis, your breach reporting. What a Lagos machine gives you is residency: the personal data on it stays in Nigeria, so the section 41 cross-border transfer analysis does not arise for it.

The circular of 15 June 2026 directs that payment transaction data generated in Nigeria be stored and managed in Nigeria, with full compliance from 1 January 2027, and it places that obligation on CBN-licensed participants. ng-1a is in Lagos, so data on a machine there is data in Nigeria. Whether your overall arrangement meets the directive is a question for you and your counsel — Lineserve supplies the location.

Dedicated is single-tenant physical hardware: full uncontended performance, custom RAID, provisioning in hours. Cloud Servers are virtualised, resize in a click and come online in under a minute. Plenty of Nigerian teams take both in ng-1a — a dedicated database tier for the sustained load, cloud instances for the fourth-quarter peak — and join them over private networking inside the region.

That is colocation, and we sell it in Lagos as its own product with space, power, cross-connects and remote hands. Tell us the footprint, the power draw and the term and we will quote it in Naira.

Yes. ng-1a in Lagos, ke-1a in Nairobi and tz-1a in Dar es Salaam are all live on one account, one API and one bill. Treat personal data deliberately when you replicate: a copy of Nigerian personal data in another country is a transfer out of Nigeria under section 41, and CBN-scoped data carries its own position.

Through [email protected] and the ticket system on your account. Nigeria runs on West Africa Time, UTC+1, with no daylight saving — two hours behind Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, which is worth knowing when you schedule a maintenance window across regions.
