Hosting built for the people shipping the web.
Hosting for developers and the businesses they build for, since December 2019. Every site in its own container with SSH, GitHub deploys and worker processes, billed once a year.
EST. DEC 2019
Our story
I started Litehost in December 2019 because shipping a small PHP or Laravel app meant choosing between hosting that was cheap and hosting that let you touch anything. Cheap plans locked the PHP version, hid the logs and answered every question with a ticket. Everything else was priced for a team.
So we built the middle. In 2026 we moved every site onto its own container with real SSH, GitHub deploys and worker processes, and added Laravel plans with Redis and PostgreSQL. The panel gives you DNS, databases, backups and a terminal directly, and a person answers when you ask.
Our history
How Litehost has grown its platform, customers and product line over time.
Litehost launched on 25 December as a cPanel host for PHP and Laravel developers.
First full year: over 60 cPanel accounts and 80 domains, on hosting built for PHP and Laravel developers.
Registered with CAC Nigeria, two people joined the team, and yearly transactions doubled on 2020.
Started sponsoring PHPTalks, moved infrastructure providers for uptime and cost, and added 150 new customers.
140 new customers, and Litehost sponsored PHPTalks 2024 and the Eket WordPress Meetup in Uyo.
Sponsored PHPTalks for the third year running, backing the PHP developer community in Nigeria.
Sites moved to containers, Laravel Hosting launched, and we sponsored WordCamp Eket, DevFests and PHPTalks.
Four things we hold to
Say the real number
Sites, storage and addon domains are published per plan. Only databases and subdomains are unlimited, under fair use, and mailboxes on the top tier.
One price, one year
Annual billing and no setup fee.
Give you the keys
SSH, per-site PHP, DNS, cron and self-service restores. Support is there when you want it, not required to do basic things.
Move you for free
Import from cPanel or Plesk yourself, or ask for a managed migration. Previewed within 24 hours, approved by you before DNS changes.
Where our customers are
