Nigerian-founded web hosting and digital infrastructure company HoganHost has marked its seventh anniversary, saying its operations and accreditations have expanded across 14 African countries since its establishment in 2019.

The company, founded by Joseph Effiok Hogan alongside co-founder Atim Hogan, began operations in Nigeria, providing domain registration and web hosting services to individuals, businesses and organisations.

HoganHost said it subsequently expanded beyond Nigeria by establishing relationships with national domain registries in other African markets, enabling it to provide registration services for a wider range of African country-code domains.

According to the company, it now has a presence and accreditation footprint spanning 14 countries on the continent.

The expansion comes amid growing demand for digital infrastructure supporting African businesses, entrepreneurs and organisations seeking to establish and maintain an online presence.

HoganHost said it has hosted more than 15,000 websites since commencing operations and has recorded about 99 per cent uptime across its hosting services.

The figures were provided by the company and have not been independently verified.

Founder Joseph Hogan said the business was established with the objective of making web hosting, domain registration and related digital services more accessible to African users.

Working alongside him, co-founder Atim Hogan has been involved in the company’s development and expansion as it has sought to grow beyond its original Nigerian market.

The company’s expansion has also involved consolidation within Nigeria’s web hosting industry.

In April 2026, HoganHost acquired ZuumHost, a transaction it said was intended to strengthen its portfolio and increase its reach within the Nigerian digital services market.

The acquisition formed part of HoganHost’s broader growth strategy as it sought to expand both its customer base and range of services.

Over the past seven years, the company has moved from operating primarily as a Nigerian web hosting provider towards developing a wider African footprint, with domain registration forming an important part of that expansion.

Country-code top-level domains provide national digital identities for websites and online services, making relationships with national registries an important component of the domain registration business.

For African technology companies operating in this segment, expanding across multiple national markets can also mean navigating different registry requirements, technical systems and regulatory environments.

HoganHost said its relationships with domain registries across the continent have enabled it to broaden the range of African domains available to its customers.

The company said its focus after its seventh anniversary would remain on expanding its digital infrastructure services and strengthening its presence across African markets.

For HoganHost, the September 9 anniversary marks another stage in its attempt to develop a Nigerian-founded hosting business into a technology company serving customers across multiple African markets.
