HOSTAFRICA Acquires GO54, Cementing Its Position as Nigeria’s Top Hosting Provider

In a landmark move for Africa’s tech industry, HOSTAFRICA, a leading web hosting provider on the continent, has officially completed its acquisition of GO54 (formerly known as WhoGoHost), one of Nigeria’s most influential web hosting companies. With GO54 commanding over 20% of Nigeria’s domain market share, this acquisition represents a pivotal moment in HOSTAFRICA’s mission to drive digital transformation across Africa.

This strategic acquisition not only strengthens HOSTAFRICA’s foothold in Nigeria but also underscores its dedication to empowering African businesses with innovative, reliable, and scalable hosting solutions.

A Stronger Presence in Nigeria

HOSTAFRICA first entered the Nigerian market in 2021 under the brand DomainKing.ng, introducing tailored hosting solutions designed to meet the unique needs of Nigerian businesses. The acquisition of GO54, which manages an impressive portfolio of over 100,000 domains, propels HOSTAFRICA to the forefront of Nigeria’s tech sector, solidifying its status as a market leader.

Elevating Services for GO54 Customers

As part of the acquisition, GO54’s local expertise and infrastructure will be seamlessly integrated into HOSTAFRICA’s expansive network. This integration promises GO54 customers access to enhanced technology, superior support, and a broader range of hosting solutions. HOSTAFRICA is committed to ensuring a smooth transition, offering GO54 clients advanced hosting services, scalable options, and more responsive customer care.

Michael Osterloh, CEO of HOSTAFRICA, expressed his enthusiasm about the acquisition:

“We are delighted to officially welcome GO54 into the HOSTAFRICA family. This partnership has been meticulously planned in collaboration with the GO54 team, and we are excited to work together to elevate the hosting experience for customers in Nigeria and beyond.”

Building Africa’s Hosting Powerhouse

The acquisition aligns perfectly with HOSTAFRICA’s vision of creating a dominant hosting platform across Africa. By combining GO54’s established presence in Nigeria with HOSTAFRICA’s cutting-edge services, the company is poised to deliver robust, reliable, and innovative solutions to businesses of all sizes. This move cements HOSTAFRICA’s position as Nigeria’s leading domain provider and a key player in Africa’s digital ecosystem.

A Seamless and Transparent Transition

The acquisition process, finalized in January 2025, followed rigorous regulatory approvals and due diligence. Both HOSTAFRICA and GO54 are committed to ensuring a transparent and collaborative integration process, guaranteeing uninterrupted services and continued growth for their customers.
