Host Africa, a South African digital infrastructure provider, has announced plans to complete the acquisition of GO54, a Nigerian web hosting and domain registration company. 

The acquisition, which includes intellectual property, contracts, equipment, and other assets, is part of Host Africa’s strategy to expand its operations in Nigeria.

The deal, structured as a Sale of Asset Agreement, will see GO54’s assets transferred to Host Africa Nigeria Limited, a subsidiary registered in October 2024. This enables Host Africa to deliver web hosting, cloud services, and domain registration solutions in the country.

The acquisition aligns with Host Africa’s vision to establish itself in Nigeria’s growing digital services market. Regulatory filings reveal that the decision was influenced by GO54’s steady revenue growth, diverse customer base, and broad product offerings.

Host Africa plans to change the acquired assets into an affordable digital platform serving individuals, enterprises, and corporations.

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has endorsed the transaction, describing it as beneficial to Nigerian consumers. According to the FCCPC, the investment will foster local tech talent and boost online adoption across the country.

Formerly known as WhoGoHost, GO54 underwent a rebranding in March 2024 to reflect its pan-African aspirations.

With over 13,000 hosting accounts and 25,000 active domains, the company has been a leader in Nigeria’s web hosting space since its founding in 2006 by Opeyemi Awoyemi.

The rebranding aimed to position the company for expansion beyond Nigeria, with the name “GO54” symbolising a focus on enabling online business solutions across Africa’s 54 countries.

In recent years, GO54 has also pursued acquisitions to strengthen its market presence, including the purchase of iHost Africa, TheExpertHost, and Sendchamp.

Host Africa, led by its founder Michael Osterloh, is renowned for its expertise in cloud server solutions. Headquartered in Cape Town, the company has successfully expanded its footprint across Africa through strategic acquisitions.

This is not Host Africa’s first entry into Nigeria. The company previously acquired DomainKing in 2021 and Naijawebhost in 2024. Beyond Nigeria, Host Africa has expanded into East Africa, acquiring Kenyan hosting provider Sasahost in December 2023.

With the GO54 acquisition pending regulatory approval, Host Africa aims to strengthen its place in Nigeria’s digital sector, leveraging its expertise to meet the growing demand for online services.
