AFRICLOUD Opens Lagos Cloud Region, Bringing In-Country Hosting to Nigeria

The cloud infrastructure provider's third region joins Lisbon and Johannesburg, with servers on Nigerian soil and data residency relevant to the NDPA

MIAMI BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, August 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- AFRICLOUD, a cloud infrastructure company operating from data centres in Lisbon and Johannesburg, has opened its third region in Lagos, Nigeria. Cloud servers now deploy inside Nigeria from a carrier-neutral data centre in the Lagos central business district, and orders are open to all customers through the AFRICLOUD dashboard.

For Nigerian businesses, startups and public-sector organisations, the new region means compute and storage that stay on Nigerian soil. That is directly relevant to organisations working within the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) and to any team whose customers, regulators or procurement policies ask where data actually lives. Specific compliance requirements call for an individual legal assessment, but the underlying question, is the data in Nigeria, now has a straightforward answer.

With Lagos live, the company's three regions divide the map between them, in coverage zones drawn from AFRICLOUD's own continent-wide round-trip measurements across thousands of network vantage points. Johannesburg serves Southern and East Africa. Lagos serves Nigeria and much of West Africa, and brings the landlocked Sahel within reach over terrestrial West African fibre, where reaching comparable infrastructure previously meant routing through Europe. Lisbon serves North Africa and parts of West Africa alongside Europe, and reaches Brazil over a direct subsea route between Portugal and South America.

"Nigeria is Africa's largest internet market, and until now most Nigerian workloads have been hosted abroad by necessity," said Oluniyi Ajao, Founder of AFRICLOUD. "The Lagos region changes the default. Nigerian data can now live in Nigeria, on infrastructure built for the way this market pays and builds."

The Lagos region runs the same platform as Lisbon and Johannesburg: one account and one dashboard across all three regions, AMD EPYC processors with all-NVMe storage, IPv4 and IPv6 on every server, and automated provisioning that brings a new server online in minutes. The three regions offer three jurisdictions on one account, keeping Nigerian data in Lagos, European workloads in Lisbon under EU law, and Southern African workloads in Johannesburg under POPIA. Support is available around the clock by chat and email, and payment is by credit card, PayPal or more than 300 cryptocurrencies.

Cloud servers in the Lagos region are available now at https://africloud.com/ng.
