Nigeria’s HoganHost has entered into a strategic partnership with global cloud provider DigitalOcean to roll out instant cloud hosting services across Africa beginning January 2026.

According to HoganHost, the move is aimed at ensuring African developers, startups, and enterprises gain direct access to high-performance cloud servers without depending solely on infrastructure located overseas.

The hosting company said the new service will allow for faster deployment and simplified management of websites, applications, and databases, leveraging DigitalOcean’s established infrastructure.

“Our mission is to bring enterprise-level hosting to Africa,” said Joseph Effiok Hogan, co-founder of HoganHost. Atim Hogan added that the collaboration “empowers African entrepreneurs with the technology needed to scale their businesses quickly and efficiently.”

Industry watchers note that the rollout aligns with ongoing efforts to strengthen Africa’s digital economy by localising critical services that are often accessed from Europe, North America, or Asia.

By establishing this partnership, HoganHost and DigitalOcean aim to reduce barriers to technology adoption while equipping African businesses with tools to compete in global markets.
