Nigeria’s digital infrastructure landscape just took a meaningful turn. GigaLayer has acquired Registeram, one of the country’s earliest and most trusted domain registration and web hosting companies, marking its latest step in consolidating the backbone of online services in Nigeria.
Registeram has been a familiar name in Nigeria’s internet scene since its founding in 2008, managing domain registrations and hosting services for businesses across sectors. Under the new arrangement, GigaLayer now assumes full operational control of Registeram’s assets and customer portfolio, while assuring existing users that their services will continue uninterrupted as a gradual integration into GigaLayer’s infrastructure unfolds.
This acquisition strengthens GigaLayer’s position in both domain registration and hosting — two critical elements of Nigeria’s digital economy. By bringing a long‑standing registrar into its fold, GigaLayer not only broadens its service offering but also deepens its role as a local infrastructure champion at a time when reliable, home‑grown digital services are increasingly vital for businesses looking to build, scale, and secure their online presence.
For customers, the transition promises enhanced infrastructure resilience, improved performance and security, and access to broader cloud compute and hosting solutions delivered through GigaLayer’s enterprise‑grade platform. This move reflects a broader strategy: consolidating fragmented tech services into more robust, locally operated systems that reduce dependency on offshore providers while expanding capacity for innovation and compliance with Nigerian data and digital regulations.
As Nigeria’s digital economy continues to grow, strategic moves like this signal a maturing market — one where local firms are increasingly building the infrastructure that powers commerce, communications, and online identity across the continent.
