GigaLayer Targets Hosting Market Dominance

GigaLayer, one of Africa’s leading cloud infrastructure and domain services providers, has announced the acquisition of Registeram, a Nigerian domain registration and hosting company serving businesses nationwide.

This strategic move marks a significant milestone in GigaLayer’s expansion plan to consolidate reliable digital infrastructure services across Nigeria and the broader African market.

Registeram, which has been in operation since 2008, will see its customers enjoy uninterrupted access to existing products and services. Over the coming months, these services will be gradually integrated into GigaLayer’s infrastructure platform to enhance performance, security, redundancy, and support experience.

Commenting on the acquisition, Founder and CEO of GigaLayer, Ahmad Mukoshy, said, “This acquisition reinforces our commitment to building resilient, locally operated cloud and domain infrastructure for African businesses.

We are not just acquiring customers; we are strengthening Africa’s digital backbone”

The acquisition means Registeram’s services will be integrated into GigaLayer’s enterprise-grade infrastructure, enhancing support systems and security standards. Customers will also gain access to expanded cloud compute and hosting solutions.

GigaLayer currently operates infrastructure across two data centre locations in Lagos, with ongoing expansion of its local bare-metal and cloud compute capabilities tailored for compliance, enterprise workloads, and high-availability applications.

This acquisition is part of GigaLayer’s strategic expansion, following previous integrations of Trudigits, Hub8, MainOne’s SMEinaBox, and LagosHost. The company’s strategy focuses on local cloud sovereignty, compliance-ready infrastructure, enterprise-grade hosting solutions, reliable domain and DNS services, and long-term ecosystem stability.

With Registeram’s founders transitioning into other ventures, GigaLayer assumes full operational control of its assets and client portfolio. Meanwhile, GigaLayer’s expansion reflects a broader commitment to ensuring that Nigerian businesses have access to secure, high-performance infrastructure without relying on offshore providers.

“We believe Africa’s digital future must be built on African infrastructure,” Mukoshy added.
