Global Web Host Hostinger Enters Nigeria With AI Tools and Naira Payments

Global web host Hostinger enters Nigeria with AI tools and Naira payments, marking a major expansion into Africa’s fastest-growing digital economy. The company is launching a suite of AI-powered tools, local-currency payments, and simplified website-building features aimed at helping Nigerian entrepreneurs, creators, and SMEs grow online without technical barriers.

Nigeria’s digital economy contributed more than ₦7 trillion to GDP in Q1 2025, yet millions of small businesses still struggle with limited digital skills, costly infrastructure, and unreliable services. Hostinger says its entry will remove those obstacles by offering automated workflows, responsive customer support, and transparent pricing.

Hostinger targets Nigeria’s growing digital business ecosystem

Headquartered in Lithuania, Hostinger has built a global reputation for affordable hosting, powerful website-building tools, and AI-driven automation. Its entry into Nigeria is timely: the country is home to more than 39 million MSMEs, many of which are attempting to build websites or online stores for the first time.

“Nigeria is an important milestone for us,” said Eiviltas Paraščiakas, Hostinger’s Head of Communications. “Our goal is simple – give people fast, reliable, and fair tools so they can build and grow online with confidence.”

Why Hostinger’s entry matters for Nigerian SMEs

Nigeria’s hosting market is competitive, but many users struggle with:

High hosting costs
Lack of quality support
Limited automation
Hidden charges
Poor website performance

Hostinger aims to solve these issues by offering:

Naira-based payments to avoid FX fluctuations
Localised support for Nigerian users
Transparent pricing
AI-driven setup tools that reduce reliance on developers

With automated tools and faster onboarding, small business owners can create online stores, portfolio sites, and brand pages in minutes.

Competition in Nigeria’s web-hosting market is intensifying

Hostinger joins established web-hosting providers such as telaHosting, GO54QServers, HostAfrica, and Truehost Nigeria. Many competitors already offer local payment options and low-cost hosting, but Hostinger’s deeper AI integration could give it a strong advantage among startups, freelancers, and SMEs looking for automation.

Hostinger’s expansion into Nigeria signals a new chapter for small businesses seeking affordable, AI-powered tools to scale their online presence. With Naira payments, AI automation, and beginner-friendly features, the company hopes to make website creation accessible to millions of Nigerians who want to grow in the digital economy.
