📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Upperlink is an established Nigerian technology company combining web hosting and domain registration with payment infrastructure, enterprise software, business email, cybersecurity, and other digital services. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Ikeja, Lagos, the company has developed a strong position in Nigeria’s internet-services market. Its broader credentials include authorization by the Central Bank of Nigeria as a Payment Solution Service Provider, participation as a Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System aggregator, and a Value Added Services license from the Nigerian Communications Commission.

Upperlink became Nigeria’s first ICANN-accredited domain registrar in 2014, an important advantage for customers registering Nigerian extensions such as .ng and .com.ng. The company also works with AFRINIC and operates an independent Autonomous System, giving it direct control over part of its network addressing and routing infrastructure.

The shared hosting range covers personal websites, small businesses, agencies, and customers managing several domains. Basic, Bronze, Silver, and Unlimited packages include storage, email hosting, bandwidth, databases, subdomains, SSH access, and support for additional domains. The higher packages increase storage and domain capacity, while the Unlimited package removes the published disk-space restriction.

Naija Hosting is the locally focused range, with King, Knight, Rook, and Queen packages. Storage allocations range from 10 GB to 75 GB, accompanied by SSL certificates, email accounts, databases, FTP access, and technical support. These plans are suitable for customers who prefer Nigerian billing, local assistance, and hosting intended for a regional audience.

Reseller Hosting provides cPanel accounts managed through WHM, allowing agencies and hosting businesses to operate separate customer accounts. LiteSpeed, HTTP/2, Let’s Encrypt SSL, selectable PHP versions, daily backups, and migration assistance are included. The published reseller configurations accommodate between 20 and 100 cPanel accounts.

VPS Hosting provides virtual servers with two to six CPU cores, 2 GB to 6 GB of RAM, mirrored storage, several IP addresses, and monthly traffic allocations between 2 TB and 6 TB. Dedicated Servers are prepared according to individual requirements, with processor, memory, storage, operating system, and management options established through a custom quotation.

Domain services include new registrations, transfers, premium Nigerian domains, bulk portfolio administration, reseller accounts, API connectivity, and WHMCS integration. The company is especially well suited to organizations managing several Nigerian domains from one account.

The Website Builder range provides ready-made templates, email accounts, storage, bandwidth, page-building tools, and blogging functionality. Entry-level service is suitable for a small one-page presence, while the largest package supports unlimited pages and templates.

Business email customers can choose corporate mailboxes, professional email, Microsoft 365, or Google Workspace. This provides a choice between conventional hosted email and complete cloud productivity environments. Website security and backup options include SSL certificates, SiteLock malware scanning and removal, CodeGuard backups, database protection, file-change monitoring, and restoration tools.

The client platform has a modern layout that works well on desktop and mobile devices. English is the primary language, while the customer portal also supports Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian, and several additional languages.

Some parts of the catalog contain inconsistent package names, allocations, and prices. Certain domain extensions appear at different prices in separate sections, reseller configurations are not always identical, and a few VPS and email entries contain duplicated or mismatched details. Customers ordering reseller hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, or promotional domain services should confirm the complete configuration and renewal price before payment.
