HOSTAFRICA has announced the acquisition of GO54 (formerly known as WhoGoHost). GO54 is one of Nigeria’s most prominent web hosting companies with a domain market share of over 20%. This marks a significant milestone in HOSTAFRICA’s strategic expansion across the continent. It solidifies its commitment to empowering African businesses through cutting-edge technology.
HOSTAFRICA entered the Nigerian market in 2021 under the brand DomainKing.ng. It introduced hosting solutions designed for Nigerian businesses. The acquisition of GO54 which manages over 100,000 domains strengthens HOSTAFRICA’s position as a market leader in Nigeria’s tech sector.
GO54’s local expertise and infrastructure will integrate into HOSTAFRICA’s broader network. Customers can expect improved technology and better support. The acquisition ensures a smooth transition, offering GO54 clients advanced hosting services, scalable solutions, and more responsive assistance.
“We are thrilled to welcome GO54 to the HOSTAFRICA family officially,” said Michael Osterloh, CEO of HOSTAFRICA. “This partnership has been carefully planned with the GO54 team. We are eager to work together to elevate the hosting experience for customers in Nigeria and beyond.”
The acquisition aligns with HOSTAFRICA’s vision to create a dominant hosting platform in Africa. Combining GO54’s established presence in Nigeria with HOSTAFRICA’s innovative services ensures the delivery of robust and reliable solutions to businesses of all sizes. It makes HOSTAFRICA the leading Domain provider in Nigeria.
The acquisition has been finalized in January 2025. This follows the completion of regulatory approvals and due diligence. Both companies are committed to a transparent integration process. This will ensure uninterrupted service and continued growth for the customers’ benefit.
