📄 Editorial Review

Nakroteck is a Ghanaian web hosting, domain registration, website development, and online-business services provider founded in January 2014 by Ricky Nkansah. The company began in Accra as Nakro Technology Limited and later expanded into a broader software and digital-services operation. The wider business adopted the SmartQix (smartqix.com) identity in 2018, while Nakroteck continued as its hosting and domain-services brand. A United States presence was added in Columbus, Ohio, during 2020.

The company operates with an estimated team of 2–10 employees and serves individuals, developers, small companies, schools, churches, hotels, nonprofit organizations, online stores, and other businesses in Ghana and international markets. Its customer base exceeds 32,500 accounts, giving it a substantial position among locally focused Ghanaian hosting providers.

Its service portfolio includes shared hosting, WordPress hosting, VPS cloud servers, dedicated servers, domain registration, SSL certificates, website building, custom website design, WooCommerce hosting, online-store development, point-of-sale systems, professional email, DNS management, website migration, and SEO tools. This broad catalog is useful for customers who prefer to manage hosting, domains, email, website development, and online-business services through one supplier.

Standard shared hosting uses NVMe or SSD storage, free SSL certificates, professional email accounts, MySQL databases, automated backups, malware scanning, DDoS protection, and Plesk management. The principal packages are Basic, Economy, Deluxe, Platinum, and Platinum Plus.

The Basic package supports one website and includes 1 GB of NVMe storage, 5 GB of bandwidth, five databases, and five email accounts. Economy increases capacity to 15 GB of storage and 150 GB of bandwidth. Deluxe supports five websites with 40 GB of storage and 400 GB of bandwidth. Platinum includes 100 GB of storage together with unlimited websites, bandwidth, databases, and email accounts. Platinum Plus raises storage to 200 GB and is intended for larger multi-site accounts. Qualifying annual subscriptions may also include a free domain.

The managed WordPress range is divided into WP Blogger, WP Lite, WP Essential, and WP Plus. These packages include WordPress installation, free SSL, off-server daily account backups, object-cache controls, migration assistance, and WordPress-oriented management tools. Capacity ranges from one website with 10 GB of storage to five websites with 60 GB, while the larger packages include unlimited traffic and email accounts.

VPS services use OpenStack KVM virtualization, Intel Xeon processors, NVMe storage, dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, root access, DDoS mitigation, and an included Plesk license for as many as ten domains. Linux operating-system choices include Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, and CentOS, while Windows Server is also available.

VPS Value includes one virtual CPU, 2 GB of RAM, 40 GB of NVMe storage, and 1 TB of transfer. VPS Essential increases capacity to two virtual CPUs, 4 GB of RAM, and 80 GB of storage. VPS Comfort provides four virtual CPUs, 8 GB of RAM, and 80 GB of storage. Optional services include weekly backups, additional IP addresses, WordPress assistance, and expanded server management.

Both self-managed and managed VPS options are available. Self-managed customers receive root-level control and remain responsible for operating-system administration, security, software configuration, and routine maintenance. Managed assistance is available for customers requiring help with configuration, updates, security, or application support. The exact management scope should be confirmed before ordering because the level of included administration can differ between packages and optional services.

A small dedicated-server catalog is also available. The HOST-32L configurations use an Intel Xeon D-1520 processor with four cores and eight threads, 32 GB of ECC memory, and different HDD or SSD storage combinations. Networking includes 1 Gbps vRack connectivity. Dedicated and custom server orders may require payment verification and manual approval before provisioning.

These dedicated configurations remain adequate for storage, backup, web hosting, and light virtualization workloads, but the Xeon D-1520 platform is considerably older than current AMD EPYC and newer Intel Xeon systems. The pricing is also high for this hardware generation, making the VPS range more attractive for most small and medium workloads.

The website builder includes AI-assisted site creation, drag-and-drop editing, more than 200 templates across 24 categories, responsive layouts, team collaboration, one-click website importing, and support for websites in more than 50 languages. E-commerce tools include inventory management, tax and shipping controls, order processing, and integration with more than 40 payment gateways.

Website Builder packages range from the small NB Basic account to NB Pro and NB Ultimate. Higher packages provide more storage, bandwidth, databases, email accounts, websites, and annual free-domain eligibility. These plans are a practical alternative for customers who want to create a website without WordPress or manual coding.

Custom website design is available for businesses, hotels, educational institutions, churches, charities, shops, and professional-service companies. Projects can include mobile-first design, hosting, domain registration, email, SSL, forms, analytics, WhatsApp integration, search-friendly page structures, and launch assistance. Pricing is based on the individual project.

WooCommerce hosting and online-store development cover product catalogs, payment integration, order processing, hosting, SSL, email, backups, and local assistance. Point-of-sale consulting is also available for companies requiring sales processing, inventory control, reporting, and integration between physical and online operations.

Domain registration includes international extensions and Ghanaian domains. Available options include .com, .net, .org, .co, .info, .com.gh, .org.gh, .net.gh, and .edu.gh. DNS management, domain transfers, and privacy protection are available where supported. Ghanaian domain registrations may require documentation or an eligibility review.

Free Let’s Encrypt certificates are included with hosting accounts. Paid DV, OV, EV, wildcard, and multi-year certificates are available from RapidSSL, GeoTrust, and DigiCert for customers requiring organization validation, extended validation, warranties, or broader certificate coverage.

The main website is available in English. The billing and customer portal includes English, Arabic, Azerbaijani, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Persian, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian. Products can be billed in US dollars and Ghanaian cedi.

The website is responsive and works on mobile devices, although older and newer sections remain active at the same time. This creates occasional differences in package specifications, telephone details, uptime figures, and pricing. The current product catalog, billing portal, formal SLA, and dated pricing notices provide the most relevant terms for new orders.
