Nergy resource hub
Everything you need to get your business online, in one place.
The hosting we recommend, ready-made website templates, practical ebooks and the tools we build with. Picked by the team behind 40+ websites for businesses in Nigeria and abroad.
Web hosting
Where to host your website
Hosting is where your website lives. A slow or unreliable host quietly costs you customers, so these are the only two we recommend to clients.
Our top pick
Hostinger
The host we recommend for most businesses. Fast, reliable and easy to manage, with room to grow from a simple business site to a busy online store.
Best for: business websites, online stores and anyone who cares about speed.
- LiteSpeed servers built for fast WordPress sites
- Free SSL certificate and automatic backups
- Free domain for the first year on eligible annual plans
- Simple hPanel dashboard with one-click WordPress install
- 24/7 live chat support
- 30-day money-back guarantee
Best on a budget
Truehost
The most affordable way to get a Nigerian business online. Pay in Naira, register a .ng domain and launch a small site for very little each month.
Best for: first websites, blogs, portfolios and startups on a tight budget.
- Priced in Naira, pay with Nigerian cards and local options
- Free SSL certificate on every hosting plan
- .ng and .com.ng domains from an accredited Nigerian registrar
- Familiar cPanel dashboard with one-click WordPress install
- 30-day money-back guarantee
The Hostinger and Truehost buttons are affiliate links. You pay the same price, and we may earn a small commission that helps keep these resources free.
Still deciding?
Choose Hostinger if
you want the fastest possible site, plan to grow traffic, or you are running an online store with lots of products.
Choose Truehost if
this is your first website, you want to pay in Naira with the lowest monthly cost, or you need a .ng domain.
Bought hosting and not sure what to do next? We can connect your domain, install WordPress and build the site for you.
Domain names
Find your domain name
Your domain is your address online, like yourbusiness.com.ng. Type the name you want and we check the main extensions live, straight from the official registries.
Check if your name is free
Results come live from each domain registry. The final price is shown at checkout. Register buttons are affiliate links.
Naming tips
- Keep it short and easy to spell when you say it on a phone call.
- Avoid hyphens and numbers. People forget them.
- Match your business name on Instagram and WhatsApp so customers recognise it.
- If you can, register both .com.ng and .com so nobody else takes your name.
Which extension should you choose?
Our pick for Nigeria
.com.ng
The standard address for a Nigerian business. Customers see straight away that you operate here, and it usually costs less than .ng.
Best if you sell abroad
.com
Recognised everywhere. Choose it if you sell outside Nigeria or plan to. Free for the first year with eligible Hostinger annual plans.
Short and premium
.ng
The shortest Nigerian address, good for a strong brand name. It usually costs more than .com.ng.
For organisations
.org.ng / .org
For NGOs, churches, foundations, associations and community groups.
For online shops
.store
Tells visitors you sell online. Works best as a second address next to your .com.ng.
Restricted
.edu.ng / .gov.ng
Reserved for approved schools and government bodies. The registrar will ask for proof before registering it.
