Why we started

Getting a website online from Nigeria used to mean choosing between an overseas host who didn't understand your market and couldn't be reached in your timezone, or a local one whose infrastructure you couldn't rely on.

We built LucentHost to remove that trade-off. Serious hardware, honest uptime figures, and a support team that answers in hours rather than days, priced for the market it actually serves.

Today we host everything from first personal blogs to production stores and privacy-sensitive projects, for customers here and abroad.

What we stand on

Four things that shape how we build, and how we treat the people using what we build.

Service

Our services meet the needs of every customer regardless of their expertise, location, requirements or preferences. A first-time site owner gets the same attention as a reseller running fifty accounts.

Trust

We hold ourselves to a high standard on reliability, quality and performance. We publish live server status rather than asking you to take our word for it.

Our vision

Your website security and privacy come first at LucentHost, and we will always support the rights of individuals and consumers online. It's why anonymous hosting is a core product, not an afterthought.

Our mission

To build a genuinely reliable hosting platform in Africa, running on hardware powerful enough to keep that promise instead of just advertising it.

Things you should know

Whether you're just starting out or you need advanced performance, there's a plan built for it. These four come with all of them.

SSL

Free SSL certificate

SSL is effectively mandatory now, so we don't treat it as an upsell. Every hosting plan includes unlimited free PositiveSSL certificates, issued and renewed for you.

Migration

Free migration service

Hosted somewhere else? We'll move your website to our servers free of charge, in the way that causes you the least disruption. Files, databases and email, tested before we switch anything.

Refund

Money-back guarantee

We're confident in what we're selling, so you have six days after purchase to ask for your money back. Domain registrations are excluded, since registry fees can't be reversed once paid.

Uptime

99.9% network uptime

We're confident in our network infrastructure, and we back it with a 99.9% uptime guarantee across all services, monitored around the clock.

Why choose us?

Small business or large, we have the resources to host your website, and you can scale them at any time without starting over somewhere else.

  • Multiple datacentre locations

    Put your site closer to the people actually visiting it, and keep serving if one region has a problem.

  • Redundant cooling

    Hardware fails when it overheats. Backup cooling means one failed unit doesn't take a rack down with it.

  • Emergency generators

    Grid power here isn't something to depend on. On-site generators mean an outage never reaches your site.

  • Constant monitoring

    Systems are watched around the clock, so problems get picked up before you have to report them.
