Nigeria is a country in western part of Africa continent and since its independence in 1960, a lot have happened. As a Nigerian blogger or someone about to be, do you know the web hosting companies you can choose from when it comes to you choosing one? In this article, am going to give out the lists of web hosting companies in Nigeria and Nigerian domain registrars you can use.

Before I go straight to the list, let me quickly explain some important terms and things.

What is web hosting all about?

According to Website.comWeb hosting is a service that allows organizations and individuals to post a website or web page onto the internet. A web host or web hosting provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for a website or web page or blog to be viewed on the internet.

Websites are hosted or stored on special computer called servers. When anyone wants to view your site or blog, all they need to do is to type your web address or domain into their browsers. The server of your web hosting provider then renders your website to be viewed by visitors.

To host your website or blog with any web host provider, you need a custom domain and an hosting account. But most companies require you to host your domain with them. And as a matter of fact, it will be easier for you to operate, in that you won’t need to be switching from one company to another.

1). What do people say about them? The more people give bad reviews about any company you want to buy from, the farther you should be from such company.

2). How good is their customer support services? There will always be time that you will need to get in touch with your web hosting provider. So, if they are slow to respond or their response is not helpful, you are likely to have a problem. Most of the best web hosting companies has live chat support. E.g Bluehost, Namecheap. Your web host provider also should be vast with whatever CMS you want to install on their server. E.g WordPress, Joomla, Froums etc

3). What of their uptime? At worst, your web host company should have uptime of about 70%. If it’s becoming lower, you may end up abandoning your website.

Services web host providers provide

  1. Email Accounts: Emails such as [email protected]
  2. FTP Access: This will enable you upload files from your local computer to your web server. If you code your own website, you can transfer the file via FTP to your web host server which will allow your website to be accessed through the internet.
  3. WordPress support: This is unarguably the best Content Management System presently. You can either use it for blog or website. Your web host company will provide information on how you can get started on it.

Are there any free web hosting provider?
