Network
189 million connections, and where they should land
Nigeria arrives on a phone, at a scale that changes how you build. The NCC counted 189.68 million active mobile subscriptions in May 2026, up from 188.01 million a month earlier. MTN holds 96.98 million of them and Airtel 65.45 million — about 86% of every active line in the country on two networks, with Glo on 23.4 million behind them. Licensed fixed and wireless ISPs are a different order of magnitude entirely: 352,006 active subscriptions at the end of 2025, of which Spectranet, Starlink and FiberOne hold roughly 70%. Whatever your analytics say about devices, the person waiting on your login screen is almost certainly on a mid-range Android on mobile data. You do not control that last mile. You control the first byte, and the first byte is what an origin server decides.
Nigeria spent twenty years fixing the part above the last mile. IXPN, the national exchange the NCC founded with the ISP association in 2006, now runs 13 points of presence across seven states, 170 connected ports and more than 130 connected networks, with 400G-capable core switching at three Lagos sites. Peak domestic traffic across it passed 1 Tbps in April 2025 and 2 Tbps by March 2026. The problem all of that exists to solve is the one that decides where your origin belongs: traffic between two Nigerian networks used to be hauled to London or Amsterdam and back, several thousand kilometres for a packet travelling a few. An application in Lagos serving Nigerian users over Nigerian networks sits on the domestic side of that map from the first request. An application in Frankfurt is on the other side of an ocean for every uncached byte, every page, all day.
There is a second argument for a Lagos origin that has nothing to do with how quick anything is. On 14 March 2024 four subsea cables — WACS, ACE, MainOne and SAT-3 — failed near Côte d'Ivoire on the same day. Thirteen countries lost connectivity, Nigerian bank customers could not transact, mobile data degraded badly, and one operator declared force majeure with repair estimates running to eight weeks. Eight systems land in Nigeria — MainOne, SAT-3, Glo-2, ACE, WACS, Equiano, 2Africa and NCSCS — and Lagos is the densest landing point in West Africa. Diversity at the coast is still not the same thing as not needing the coast. The question worth asking about your own architecture is which requests need a subsea path at all. A Nigerian customer opening a Nigerian application hosted in Lagos does not raise one.

What a CDN was never going to cache
An edge cache serves bytes that have already been computed. Your origin computes the rest — the logged-in dashboard, the search query, the cart, the checkout, the API response, the webhook you have thirty seconds to acknowledge. Those are the requests a Nigerian user actually waits on, and no cache configuration moves them. Put the static half at the edge and the computing half in Lagos, and each does the job it is good at. If a real share of your audience is outside Nigeria, keep the CDN in front — you are moving the origin, not retiring the edge.
The part of the path that is not yours
Starlink went from nothing to 91,991 Nigerian subscribers by the end of 2025, second only to Spectranet among licensed ISPs, and satellite carries its own floor before any terrestrial hop begins. A Lagos origin improves the server side of that journey and leaves the dish exactly as it was. Worth knowing when you read your own performance numbers: a slice of your Nigerian audience is on a link with different physics from the rest, and it will always look different in the percentiles.
Payments
Nigeria moves money by transfer
Ask a Lagos developer to pay for something and they open a banking app, not a card wallet. NIBSS has run instant interbank payment here since 2011, and it is the rail the whole economy defaults to — the reason a Nigerian checkout is expected to show an account number rather than only a card form, and the reason a card-only page reads as a foreign page. What Lineserve accepts in Nigeria matches that habit closely: card and bank transfer, both in Naira. This is a bank-and-card market with its own shape, and it has never needed the wallet layer that grew up in East Africa.
Bank transfer
The default, and the one a Nigerian business reaches for without thinking about it. It carries the sizes that matter to an agency — several client instances on one account, or a year taken up front at ten months for twelve — and it gives whoever keeps your books a movement to match against an invoice rather than a card line to chase.
Card
Visa and Mastercard, charged in Naira, for a single instance you want running in the next ten minutes. NGN 21,950 on the plan card is NGN 21,950 on the invoice, with VAT calculated and shown separately at checkout.
Small charges, and the limit they quietly draw on
The instances go on one at a time — a staging box here, a client site there — and none of them feels big enough to think about. Put them all on a foreign card and they are. A Naira card carries a bank-set cap on international spending; the major banks suspended international transactions on Naira cards between 2022 and 2023 and reopened them during 2025 with limits that vary by bank and get reviewed. Every dollar-denominated instance renews against that cap, every month, for as long as it runs. NGN 21,950 settled in Naira renews against nothing.
A Naira price list, not a conversion
The NGN figures on this page come from our own per-currency price list and are set in Naira. They are not a dollar amount pushed through whatever rate applies on the afternoon you check out, which is why the 2 GB plan costs the same in March as it did in January and why you can commit to it in a budget that has to survive a year.

Regions
Lagos is home. Nairobi and Dar es Salaam are one API call away.
Deploy in ng-1a and the machine sits in Lagos, in the same city as most of the traffic it will ever serve. Nigeria makes that easy to reason about: 189.68 million active mobile subscriptions in May 2026, with MTN and Airtel together carrying about 86% of active lines and Globacom and T2 — the operator formerly branded 9mobile — behind them. Whichever of the four your customer is on, they are in Nigeria, and typical in-metro round trips here run around 4 ms.
Nigerian networks now hand traffic to each other in Nigeria. IXPN, the neutral national exchange founded in 2006 by the NCC, runs 13 points of presence across 7 states and more than 130 connected networks, with 400G-capable core switching at three Lagos sites; peak domestic traffic across it passed 1 Tbps in April 2025 and 2 Tbps by March 2026. Before it existed, two Nigerian networks exchanged packets by way of London — an intercontinental journey for a packet crossing one city.
Eight subsea systems come ashore in the country, Equiano landing on the Lagos coast in 2022 and 2Africa at Lekki, which is how Lagos became West Africa's arrival point for international capacity. Aim a request at Frankfurt or Virginia instead and that subsea path joins the critical route of every call the page makes, at typically around 110 to 125 ms before your application does any work. From Lagos, Accra and Nairobi typically sit further away in round-trip terms than London, because traffic between African networks still frequently transits Europe.
ke-1a in Nairobi and tz-1a in Dar es Salaam run on the same account and the same API, which makes a standby or a disaster-recovery plan a configuration rather than a second supplier. Make that call deliberately where personal data is involved: a copy of Nigerian personal data held abroad is a cross-border transfer under section 41 of the NDPA. Machine images and telemetry raise no such question.

Support
West Africa Time, and a ticket that arrives with the facts
Two channels, doing different jobs. A ticket opened while signed in arrives carrying your account, your region and the instance, so the first reply is about the problem rather than about which machine you mean. [email protected] is the commercial address: a quotation against a purchase order, transfer details before a payment run, the billing account configured with your TIN and registered name before the first invoice, and the SLA terms and credit-claim process in writing while you are still choosing.
Before either, status.lineserve.net. Anything affecting a whole region is posted there faster than a reply could reach you, and checking it turns "my site is down" into "my instance is unreachable and the status page is clear" — a different ticket, and a much shorter one.
What to put in it, in the order it gets read: the region and the instance, the time the behaviour started in WAT, what changed just before it, the actual error text rather than a description of it, and whether it reproduces from more than one Nigerian network. An MTN handset and an office fibre line disagreeing is a different fault from both failing together.
Some of the fastest resolutions need nobody at all, and are worth knowing before the night you need them. Restore an on-demand snapshot. Roll back to a scheduled backup. Open the browser console when SSH is the thing that has broken. Resize or rebuild from the API. Migration planning and assistance are included at no extra charge.
Nigeria runs on West Africa Time, UTC+1, and does not observe daylight saving — two hours behind Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. A change window agreed in WAT means the same thing in January and in July. Note the offset when you schedule across regions.

[email protected]Why Lineserve
Decided on what actually matters here
Tax & invoicing
7.5%, and the cost-per-user arithmetic underneath it
Nigerian VAT is 7.5% and it applies to cloud computing and hosting. Displayed prices exclude it and 7.5% is calculated at checkout, so the plan card is the net number that goes into your infrastructure line. That rate is worth noticing if you are comparing our regional pages: Kenya charges 16% and mainland Tanzania 18%, so compare the figures before tax rather than after, and expect the Nigerian total to land lighter than either.
The reason the Naira figure matters more than the tax, though, is unit economics. An edtech charging a learner ₦2,000 a month, a marketplace taking a small percentage of small transactions, an agency on a fixed monthly retainer — none of them can carry an infrastructure line denominated in a currency that moves against their revenue. Price the machines in Naira and the model holds still: the 2 GB plan at NGN 21,950 for the brochure site or the staging box, the 4 GB plan at NGN 42,400 for a store doing real trade, the 8 GB plan at NGN 83,300 where the database has grown teeth, the 16 GB plan at NGN 165,100 and the 32 GB plan at NGN 328,700 where a single application has become several. Annual billing runs ten months for twelve, which fixes the line for a full budget year.
Then the paperwork, which changed recently enough that older advice is wrong. The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 and the Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025 took effect on 1 January 2026, and the tax authority Nigerian buyers still call the FIRS now trades as the Nigeria Revenue Service. What a Nigerian business needs on a supplier invoice has not changed shape: supplier name and address, a supplier TIN, your own name, address and TIN, an invoice number and date, a description of the service, the amount in Naira, VAT shown as a separate 7.5% line, and the total. If your corporate buyer files a withholding schedule, that schedule wants the supplier TIN and the invoice number too.
Bring the details to the order, not to the audit
Send [email protected] your TIN, your registered name exactly as the CAC holds it, and any purchase-order reference your system needs before you place the order rather than after the first billing run. It is a five-minute conversation in advance and a tedious one in arrears, and it is the same five minutes whether you are buying one instance or twenty.
Size for now, resize for the season
Nigerian traffic is not a smooth curve. Retail runs hot from late October through the December weeks; an exam window is a hard, dated peak; a campaign is a fortnight. vCPU, RAM and storage each resize independently up to 32 vCPU and 64 GB of RAM, so the correct answer in August is a smaller machine than the correct answer in November, and both are the same account, the same IP and the same invoice.
Prices on this page exclude VAT. Talk to [email protected] about invoicing requirements, annual terms or a single account across a set of client instances before you order.
Data residency
In Nigeria, localisation has a date on it
The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 is the governing statute, the Nigeria Data Protection Commission is the regulator, and the General Application and Implementation Directive that operationalises the Act took effect on 19 September 2025. Section 41 of the NDPA sets out the grounds on which personal data may go outside Nigeria: an adequate legal regime covering the recipient, binding corporate rules, contractual clauses, a code of conduct, or a certification mechanism. Every one of those is a piece of work you commission, evidence and keep current. Data that stays on a disk in Lagos never reaches the question.
What makes Nigeria different from the markets either side of it is that the obligations here are sectoral, specific and dated. On 15 June 2026 the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a circular directing that payment transaction data generated within Nigeria be stored and managed in Nigeria, with full compliance from 1 January 2027. Its scope reaches deposit money banks, microfinance banks, mobile money operators, fintechs, switching companies, payment service providers and super agents, and the affected records are reported to run well past the ledger — merchant records, transaction identifiers, timestamps, settlement information and processing logs.
Translate that into a Linux stack and it stops being a policy document. It is the Postgres primary and its replica. It is the webhook receiver that takes instant-payment callbacks, and the log files that receiver writes with an account reference in every line. It is the settlement files in your object storage, the nightly reconciliation job's output, the Redis instance holding transaction state, and the audit archive you keep for years because somebody will eventually ask. Deploying those in ng-1a puts them in Nigeria, on a machine you can name and point at, eighteen months before the deadline rather than during the week of it.
Where personal data actually accumulates
The root volume, the database, the uploads directory, the logs with IP addresses and phone numbers in them, the CSV somebody exported for a report and left in /tmp, the backup on the second volume that exists because someone sensible made one. None of it is on anybody's data map, and all of it is personal data. Your instance is created in Lagos and stays there unless you move it, which means the unmapped half of your system is inside the country along with the mapped half.
Registration is yours. Location is the part you can settle today.
Registering with the Commission as a controller or processor is an obligation that travels with you regardless of where the server sits, and it stays yours. What the region decides is narrower and more useful: whether the cross-border question arises for your data at all. In Lagos it does not, and that is a fact your counsel can verify in an afternoon rather than a position you have to argue.
Data residency for Nigeria's Data Protection Act (NDPA), with your data held in Lagos and not moved out of Nigeria without your instruction.
Who runs here
The Linux workloads Lagos actually runs
Nigeria's hosting demand is not shaped like Kenya's or Tanzania's. It is regulated-industry-led, at very large user counts, with a localisation deadline on the calendar and a retail season that arrives like weather. These are the stacks that end up in ng-1a.
Fintech and payments engineering
The largest startup category in the country, and the one with a date attached. Payment API gateways answering in well under a second, ledger and reconciliation databases, webhook receivers taking instant-payment callbacks, KYC and BVN verification services, fraud scoring, long-retention transaction archives, and sandbox environments partner banks can be pointed at. Every one of those is a Linux service, and the CBN's 1 January 2027 compliance date is a question about which building they run in.
Agencies, web shops and the .ng long tail
Lagos has a dense agency market building and hosting for SME clients, and it is the buyer that comes back every quarter. WordPress and Laravel client sites, staging environments, a control panel the team already knows installed on a machine they have root on, Git runners, client mail. One buyer, many machines, each sized to its own job instead of crammed onto one overloaded box — the 2 GB plan at NGN 21,950 for a brochure site, the 4 GB plan at NGN 42,400 for a store that trades, the 8 GB plan at NGN 83,300 where it grew. Naira in, Naira out, with no conversion sitting in the middle of your margin.
E-commerce, from late October onwards
Nigerian retail has a hard seasonal shape: Black Friday running straight into the December festive weeks, capacity scaled from late October and held into January. Jumia handled 5.6 million packages during one Black Friday campaign with orders up more than 18% year on year, and Nigeria was among the group's stronger markets. Catalogue and search, cart and checkout, callbacks arriving from more than one payment gateway, dispatch and logistics integration, and image serving that is cheaper out of object storage in the same region than out of a European origin.
Edtech and exam-window traffic
A national exam date is the rarest thing in capacity planning: a peak you can put in a calendar months ahead. Video lesson delivery, question banks, progress and results databases, and a registration flow that has to survive the day everyone in the country logs in at once. The economics decide the architecture here — an edtech pricing for Nigerian household incomes buys on cost per learner in Naira, not on a feature grid, which is why a machine you scale up for a fortnight and back down afterwards beats a fixed one sized for the worst week of the year.
Media, streaming and origin storage
Nigeria's domestic content industry is large and its consumption is heavily video, which makes the hosting question one of origin storage plus egress rather than compute. Transcoding pipelines, manifest and segment origins, image derivatives, a catalogue API. Every megabyte served to a Nigerian viewer from Lagos is a megabyte that did not cross a subsea cable to get there, and that arithmetic compounds faster than any other line in a media budget.
ISPs, WISPs and network operators
Spectranet, ipNX, Tizeti, FiberOne and the mobile operators run their own infrastructure and still buy capacity for the services around it: RADIUS and AAA, recursive resolvers and authoritative zones, mail relays, provisioning and billing portals, NetFlow collectors, Zabbix and LibreNMS, looking-glass and speed-test endpoints, IPAM. These workloads are meaningless outside the country they serve, and this is the buyer who runs a traceroute before reading a paragraph.
Migrating
Moving the origin to Lagos
From a VPS in Frankfurt, Amsterdam or Virginia
You bought it because it was cheap and the API was good, and both of those were true — those are excellent providers that simply are not in Nigeria. What the arrangement costs you shows up in two places. Every uncached request from a Nigerian visitor crosses an ocean and comes back, on every page, all day. And every renewal is a dollar figure landing in a Naira business, a different size each time for a plan that never changed — charged, on top of that, against your bank's international spending allowance on a Naira card. That ceiling came back in 2025 after the banks suspended foreign transactions on Naira cards between 2022 and 2023, it is set bank by bank, and your team almost certainly needs it for something with no Nigerian equivalent. A Naira renewal on domestic rails leaves the whole of it alone. The move itself is a morning: drop the TTL to 300 the day before, rsync the document root, dump and restore the database, point the A record at your new dedicated IPv4, watch the logs for an hour. Keep the CDN if part of your audience is overseas. You are relocating the origin, not dismantling the architecture.
From shared hosting or a reseller panel
Price is rarely what pushes anyone off shared hosting. What pushes them off is living inside somebody else's php.ini. With root you set the PHP or Python version yourself, schedule a cron that actually fires, keep a queue worker alive across deploys, sit Redis beside the database, terminate TLS however you like and ship by pushing rather than uploading. The other side of that bargain is the patching, which is now yours — cloud-init and snapshots turn it into a routine rather than an event. Install whichever panel your team already knows on top — the difference is that this time you have root, and the machine resizes when the job changes instead of forcing another migration.
There is one question that settles where anything is actually hosted: which building is the machine in, and in which country is that building. For a Lineserve Linux VPS the answer is ng-1a, Lagos. Ask it everywhere else you are quoted.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Yes. Every Linux VPS gives you complete root access and SSH key authentication from the moment it boots. It's your server to configure however you like.
You can deploy Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, or Fedora at launch, all kept current. You can also bring your own image with a custom ISO.
Yes. Resize to a larger plan as your workload grows, with minimal downtime. Compute and storage scale together across the tiers.
Under 60 seconds. Your server provisions and runs any cloud-init user data you provide, so it's ready to use — not just powered on.
Yes. Our team assists with moving existing Linux workloads into Lineserve at no extra charge. Reach out to support to plan the move.
Every plan supports on-demand snapshots and scheduled automated backups. Snapshot storage is billed per GB beyond your included allowance.
Yes. Every instance includes native IPv6 alongside a dedicated IPv4 address, at no extra cost.
In ng-1a, our Lagos region. The instance and its storage are created there and stay there unless you move them yourself.
A real Naira price. The NGN figures come from our own per-currency price list and are set in Naira, so the same plan costs the same next month. Prices exclude VAT, which is calculated at checkout.
Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and Fedora, all kept current and chosen at deploy time, or a custom ISO you upload. Changing distribution means a fresh instance rather than an in-place switch.
Yes, on every plan including the smallest. SSH key or password authentication, a browser console as a fallback for the evening you lock yourself out of SSH, and cloud-init on first boot so packages, users and keys are in place before your first login.
In Naira, by bank transfer or card. Bank transfer is what most Nigerian buyers use and the one that suits several instances or an annual commitment; card suits a single machine you want running now.
No. It is a Naira charge settled inside Nigeria, by card or by bank transfer, so the bank-set cap on international spending never sees it. That matters most for the way developers and agencies actually buy — one small instance at a time, each renewing every month. On a foreign card those renewals accumulate against a limit that varies by bank and is reviewed regularly.
No. Displayed prices exclude VAT. Nigerian VAT is 7.5% on cloud and hosting services and is calculated and shown separately at checkout.
Send [email protected] your TIN and your registered name as the CAC holds it before you order, along with any purchase-order reference. A Nigerian business invoice carries the supplier and buyer details and TINs, an invoice number and date, the service description, the Naira amount, VAT on its own 7.5% line, and the total.
Yes. Your instance is hosted in Lagos and your data stays in-country, giving you data residency for Nigeria's Data Protection Act (NDPA). It is not moved out of Nigeria without your instruction.
The CBN's 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. Hosting the ledger, the reconciliation database, the callback receiver and its logs in ng-1a puts that data in Nigeria. Whether your full architecture satisfies the directive is a conversation between you and your regulator — the region supplies the location.
Those two networks carry about 86% of Nigeria's 189.68 million active mobile lines, and both of them are inside Nigeria — as is ng-1a. The request has a Nigerian origin and a Nigerian destination with no ocean in the middle, which is the part of page performance no amount of CPU buys back.
If a meaningful share of your visitors are outside Nigeria, yes. A CDN caches what has already been computed; the origin computes everything else — the dashboard, the search, the checkout, the API call. Put the edge in front and the origin in Lagos and each does its own job.
Yes. A domain from any registrar points wherever you tell it — set the A record to your instance's dedicated IPv4, and an AAAA record into the free /64 of IPv6 that comes with the plan if you want it reachable over IPv6 too.
Yes. vCPU, RAM and storage resize independently, from 2 GB plan at NGN 21,950 a month up to 64 GB plan at NGN 655,900 for 32 vCPU, 64 GB of RAM and 1,280 GB of storage. Size for the traffic you have and grow into the traffic you get — useful in a market where late October looks nothing like August.
NVMe-backed storage, a 1 Gbps port with unlimited local traffic, one dedicated IPv4, a free /64 of IPv6, free DDoS protection, on-demand snapshots and scheduled backups, private networking between your instances, a browser console, and a full API and CLI. There are no feature tiers.
That is a different page and a different machine: a licensed Windows Server image with RDP and full administrator rights, for the accounting package, the SQL Server database or the .NET application that has no Linux build. The licence sits inside the Naira price there.
Cloud servers let you specify vCPU, RAM and storage individually rather than choosing from a list, and dedicated servers give you the whole machine in Lagos. Both are billed in Naira on the same account.
At [email protected] and through the ticket queue in your console. Nigeria runs on West Africa Time, UTC+1, with no daylight saving, so a time you agree in June still means the same thing in December.
