MokohHost launched in 2024 with a simple but powerful goal: to make web hosting in Nigeria more accessible, reliable, and affordable.
Andrew A., the CEO, noticed a gap in the market—many people wanted to get online but were held back by technical barriers or poor service. In an interview with
Website Planet, he shared how the company has steadily grown, offering services like shared and WordPress hosting, business email, domain registration, and website security.
With a strong focus on user-friendly tools and real human support, MokohHost continues to evolve based on customer needs and feedback.
What inspired you to establish MokohHost, and how has the company evolved since its inception in 2024?
The idea behind MokohHost came from a simple need: to make web hosting more accessible, reliable, and affordable for individuals and businesses in Nigeria. We noticed that a lot of people wanted to get online but were either overwhelmed by the technical side or put off by poor service from existing providers.
So we launched MokohHost in 2024 with a focus on excellent support, fair pricing, and user-friendly tools. Since then, we’ve grown steadily, added more services like business email, domain registration, WordPress hosting, and website security, and we continue to improve based on feedback from our customers.
How does MokohHost differentiate itself in Nigeria’s competitive web hosting and domain registration market?
We focus on a few key things: reliability, simplicity, and support. Our hosting comes with features like free unlimited SSL, daily off-site backups, free domain (on annual plans), unmetered bandwidth, DDoS protection, fast NVMe SSD storage, free website builder, and website migration.
But beyond the technical stuff, we make it easy for people to get started, especially first-timers. Our customer support is available 24/7 via live chat, WhatsApp, support tickets, and phone, and we actually take the time to guide you through problems, not just send links. We’re also a NIRA-accredited registrar, which helps us offer .ng domains directly to Nigerian businesses.
Can you elaborate on the range of services MokohHost offers, including shared hosting, WordPress hosting, and business email solutions?
Of course. MokohHost is built to support individuals, startups, small businesses, and even growing enterprises, so we’ve designed a suite of services that can grow with our clients.
Our shared hosting is perfect for anyone looking to launch a website quickly and affordably. Whether you’re creating a blog, portfolio, or business site, it comes with everything you need to get online fast, like a free domain name when you choose an annual plan, unlimited free SSL certificates for security, daily off-site backups, and unmetered bandwidth. It’s also beginner-friendly, with tools like a drag-and-drop website builder and one-click installs for popular platforms like WordPress, Joomla, and more.
For those who prefer WordPress specifically, our WordPress hosting takes it a step further. It’s optimized for speed and performance with NVMe SSD storage. We handle the technical stuff like caching, security hardening, and updates, so you can focus on building your content or online store. It’s a solid choice for bloggers, content creators, freelancers, and small e-commerce businesses.
We also offer business email solutions, which are essential for building trust and professionalism in today’s online world. Clients can create personalized email addresses using their domain (like
[email protected]), which not only looks more professional than a generic Gmail or Yahoo address but also helps with brand recognition and credibility. These emails are accessible via webmail and can be synced with email clients and mobile devices for easy access on the go.
Next is website security powered by SiteLock. This is an added layer of protection that automatically scans your website for malware, vulnerabilities, and threats. It can also help prevent your site from being blacklisted by search engines, and in some plans, it includes a firewall and CDN to improve both security and site speed. It’s especially useful for businesses that handle customer data or online transactions.
Beyond those, we also provide domain registration for thousands of domain extensions (including .ng domains, since we’re a NIRA-accredited registrar), website migration services at no extra cost, and developer-friendly tools like Node.js, Python, and Git integration on our cPanel platform. Altogether, we’re working to be a one-stop solution for building and managing your online presence.
What measures does MokohHost implement to ensure the security and reliability of its hosting services, such as the 99.9% uptime guarantee and DDoS protection?
We take security and uptime seriously. Our servers are built with reliability in mind, we offer 99.9% uptime, and we back that with monitoring tools and redundancy to avoid downtime.
All plans come with free SSL certificates to keep data secure, daily off-site backups in case anything goes wrong, and unmetered DDoS protection to keep attacks at bay. We’re also hosted on a solid infrastructure with NVMe drives, which ensures speed and stability.
How does MokohHost support clients with varying technical expertise, particularly those new to website creation and management?
One of our priorities is making things easy for everyone, whether you’re a developer or just starting your first website. We provide an intuitive control panel (cPanel), 1-click installers for apps like WordPress, and a drag-and-drop website builder for non-tech users.
And if you ever get stuck, our support team is always ready to help, whether it’s a simple domain issue or something more complex. We also offer free website migration, so if you’re moving from another host, we handle the transfer for you.
What future developments or expansions can clients anticipate from MokohHost in the coming years?
We’re building MokohHost not just for today, but for the future of hosting and digital services in Nigeria and beyond. In the coming months and years, clients can expect to see major expansions in both the range and depth of services we offer.
One of the exciting things we’re rolling out is reseller hosting. This will empower entrepreneurs, developers, and agencies to start their own hosting business under their brand using our infrastructure. It’s an affordable way to enter the hosting space, and we’ll make it beginner-friendly with tools like WHM, white-label options, and billing automation.
We’re also moving more into cloud-based solutions to give users more flexibility and power. This includes the ability to deploy on Digital Ocean droplets directly through MokohHost, making it easier for developers and businesses to run apps and websites on scalable infrastructure. We’re bridging the gap between traditional cPanel hosting and cloud platforms, so you can choose what fits your needs best, without worrying about the technical setup.
In addition, we’ll be offering cloud hosting and VPS hosting options with more control, resources, and customization. These plans are ideal for high-traffic sites, developers, SaaS platforms, and businesses that need dedicated environments without the high cost of physical servers. Users will be able to choose between managed and unmanaged setups, depending on their technical skill level.
Outside of hosting, we’re also working on expanding into software development through our new division, MokohTek, which will focus on creating modern websites, web apps, and custom solutions for businesses. The idea is to offer a full suite of digital services under one roof, from domains and hosting to design, development, and support.
At the core of all these expansions is our commitment to making digital services more accessible, reliable, and local. We want to continue supporting Nigeria’s growing digital economy by providing tools and infrastructure that are easy to use, fairly priced, and backed by real, human support.
