In a strategic move to bolster its footprint across Africa, HOSTAFRICA has announced the acquisition of Web4Africa, a leading pan-African web hosting company with significant operations in Nigeria and Ghana.
- HOSTAFRICA has acquired Web4Africa, a prominent pan-African web hosting company with strong operations in Nigeria and Ghana.
- This acquisition, HOSTAFRICA’s third this year, significantly enhances its service capabilities and market presence across Africa.
- Web4Africa’s robust infrastructure and ICANN accreditation will strengthen HOSTAFRICA’s offerings and support its strategic expansion goals.
This acquisition marks HOSTAFRICA’s third major purchase this year, underscoring its commitment to expanding its services across the continent.
Web4Africa, established in 2002, offers a wide range of domain and hosting services and operates four state-of-the-art data centres in Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa. This infrastructure, serving thousands of customers, will enhance HOSTAFRICA’s service capabilities and market presence.
The acquisition significantly boosts HOSTAFRICA's client base, particularly in Nigeria, where 70% of Web4Africa’s customers are located. Additionally, Web4Africa's operations in Ghana and its ICANN accreditation will enhance HOSTAFRICA’s service offerings, especially in regions where it previously had limited progress.
Michael Osterloh, CEO of HOSTAFRICA, welcomed the acquisition, highlighting the dedication and achievements of Web4Africa’s MD, Oluniyi Ajao. Osterloh emphasised that integrating Web4Africa’s team would solidify HOSTAFRICA’s position as a leading hosting service provider in Africa.
Oluniyi Ajao expressed optimism about the acquisition, noting the mutual benefits and the potential for significant growth opportunities for clients and the broader African hosting market.
The acquisition aligns with HOSTAFRICA’s strategic goals and marks a significant milestone in its expansion. With Web4Africa's robust data center infrastructure and extensive client base, HOSTAFRICA is poised to enhance its market position, particularly in West Africa.
HOSTAFRICA already operates two data centers in Johannesburg, South Africa, including an ISO-compliant facility, providing top-tier hosting solutions with enhanced performance, reliability, and security. The company assures Web4Africa clients of continued exceptional service and a smooth transition, with dedicated support engineers ready to address any issues.
