Cloud Servers in Lagos, Nigeria
Deploy in Africa's largest economy and fastest-growing tech ecosystem. Lagos is the commercial engine of West Africa — 200 million people, a booming startup scene, and growing demand for local hosting infrastructure.
Lagos Data Centre
Redundant uplinks with automatic failover and diverse international transit.
Dual power feeds with industrial UPS and on-site diesel generators. Extended fuel contracts for uninterrupted operation.
Direct peering at IXPN (Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria) — connecting to Nigerian and West African networks at local speed.
Multi-carrier facility with diverse submarine cable access. Full path diversity to international networks.
The West African Hub
Lagos is West Africa's primary internet hub, home to IXPN and landing point for multiple submarine cables. With 200+ million people in Nigeria alone and 400+ million across West Africa, Lagos is the most strategically important hosting location in the region — yet international-grade hosting infrastructure has been chronically scarce.
Within Nigeria. Under 25ms to Accra (Ghana). Under 50ms to Johannesburg. Under 100ms to London via MainOne and ACE submarine cables.
MainOne (to Lisbon), ACE (to France), SAT-3 (along the African coast to South Africa), and Equiano (Google's cable from Lagos to Lisbon). Lagos has more submarine cable capacity than any other West African city.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I host a VPS in Nigeria?
Yes. RANDHOST's Lagos data centre provides cloud VPS hosting with 10Gbps networking, NVMe storage, and full root access — all within Nigeria. This means sub-10ms latency for Nigerian users, NDPR-compliant data sovereignty, and IXPN peering for optimised local routing.
What latency can I expect within West Africa?
Under 10ms within Nigeria, under 25ms to Accra (Ghana), under 30ms to Lomé (Togo) and Cotonou (Benin). For applications targeting West African users, hosting in Lagos eliminates the 100ms+ round trips to European servers that most Nigerian applications currently suffer.
Is there reliable power backup in Lagos?
Absolutely. Our Lagos facility is designed for Nigeria's power grid realities. It features dual utility power feeds, industrial UPS systems, and on-site diesel generators with extended fuel contracts. We maintain 99.99% power availability regardless of grid conditions — this is infrastructure built for Lagos, not repurposed from elsewhere.
What is IXPN peering?
IXPN (Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria) is Nigeria's primary internet exchange, enabling direct peering between Nigerian and West African networks. By peering at IXPN, our servers in Lagos avoid routing Nigerian traffic through Europe or the US — dramatically reducing latency and improving performance for local users.
When will the Lagos data centre be available?
The Lagos data centre is currently in deployment. Register your interest on this page to be notified as soon as it goes live. Cloud VPS will be available first, with bare-metal and block storage following shortly after.
Is my data protected under Nigerian law?
Yes. Data stored in our Lagos data centre is subject to Nigeria's Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), which establishes data protection rights for individuals. We support your NDPR compliance requirements, including data sovereignty within Nigeria and appropriate technical and organisational measures.
