HostAfrica Milestone Acquisition: Web4Africa

Established in 2002, Web4Africa boasts a wide range of domain and hosting services. It owns four state-of-the-art data centres in Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa. The data centres are a vital instrument, serving thousands of customers across Africa. Web4Africa's robust infrastructure and market presence will reinforce HostAfrica's service capabilities.

The acquisition brings a large client base. With 70% of its customers in Nigeria, Web4Africa will strengthen HostAfrica's presence. Additionally, its operations in Ghana and accredited ICANN status will enhance HostAfrica's offerings. It is a great addition to harness more African regional TLDs. It will also improve services in regions where HostAfrica has seen slower progress.
