HoganHost, one of Africa’s leading web hosting and domain infrastructure providers, has recorded significant milestone in its expansion journey after securing accreditation for internationally recognized country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs), further strengthening its position in the global digital infrastructure market.
The newly acquired accreditations include .ME, .AI, .PR, .VC, .AG, .LC, .BZ, .SC, and .MU, giving businesses, startups, developers, and entrepreneurs across Africa and beyond direct access to some of the world’s most sought-after domain extensions.
The development marks a major step forward for the company, which has continued to expand its presence across Africa’s digital ecosystem through strategic partnerships and registry accreditations.
Already accredited by some of Africa’s leading domain registry authorities, including the Kenya Network Information Centre (KENIC), Registry for Internet Numbers and Names (RICTA) Rwanda, ZA Central Registry (ZARC) South Africa, UG Registry Uganda, and the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA), HoganHost has steadily built a reputation as a trusted registrar serving customers across multiple markets.
Industry experts note that direct registry accreditation offers significant advantages, including faster domain provisioning, improved security, enhanced technical support, and more competitive pricing for customers and reseller partners.
Among the newly accredited extensions, .AI has emerged as one of the fastest-growing and most valuable domain spaces globally, driven largely by the rapid growth of artificial intelligence companies and technology startups. Likewise, .ME continues to enjoy strong demand among entrepreneurs, personal brands, technology innovators, and digital creators seeking distinctive online identities.
Speaking on the achievement, Joseph Effiok Hogan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of HoganHost, described the accreditation milestone as a reflection of the company’s long-term commitment to expanding digital opportunities for African businesses.
“This achievement reflects our commitment to giving African businesses direct access to global digital opportunities. By becoming accredited for these strategic international extensions, we are eliminating barriers and creating a more efficient, reliable, and affordable domain registration experience for our customers,” he said.
According to Hogan, the company’s vision remains focused on ensuring that African businesses have access to world-class digital infrastructure capable of competing effectively on the global stage.
Also commenting on the development, Atim Hogan, Co-Founder of HoganHost, said the expanded accreditation portfolio would empower businesses to secure premium digital identities directly through an African-owned technology company.
“Our goal has always been to build infrastructure that empowers entrepreneurs, startups, and enterprises. These accreditations strengthen our ability to serve customers globally while maintaining the high standards of reliability, transparency, and support that HoganHost is known for,” she stated.
The announcement comes amid continued growth within the HoganHost ecosystem, including the recent integration of ZuumHost, a move expected to create stronger synergies across web hosting, cloud services, cybersecurity, and domain management operations.
