Hive BucketsWhy host in Nigeria
Shorter trips for your users
Requests from people in Nigeria travel a much shorter distance to Lagos or Abuja than to Europe or the US, so pages load and API calls answer sooner.
Keep data in Nigeria
Apps, databases, n8n workspaces, HivePods, functions and their backups stay in the Nigerian region you create them in. Hive Buckets files are stored across multiple regions for durability. This is not legal advice: check what the NDPR asks of your app.
Simple, published pricing
A Free Tier (after a one-time $1 card check), a Developer Plan at $3/month and a Pro Plan at $15/month. Beyond your plan, compute is $2 per vCPU-month. Plans are priced in US dollars.
Bring what you already run
Deploy any repository with Drone, and copy a PostgreSQL, MySQL or MariaDB database from another provider with Import a database, kept in sync until you switch over.
Questions about hosting in Nigeria
Does DockHive have servers in Nigeria?
Yes. DockHive runs two regions in Nigeria: Lagos (region ng) and Abuja (region abuja). You pick the region when you create an app, database, HivePod, function or workspace.
What can I host in Lagos and Abuja?
Apps deployed with Drone, managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis and RabbitMQ databases, HivePods and the App Marketplace, Hive Functions, Hive Realtime, n8n workspaces and DockHive Tunnel. Hive Buckets has regional endpoints in both cities.
Can I keep my data in Nigeria?
Apps, databases, n8n workspaces, HivePods, functions and their backups stay in the Nigerian region you create them in. Hive Buckets files are stored across multiple regions for durability, and account details are kept centrally. DockHive does not give legal advice, so check what the NDPR asks of you.
Can I pay in naira?
Plans are priced in US dollars: a Free Tier, a Developer Plan at $3/month, a Pro Plan at $15/month and a Scale Plan through sales. You can start on the Free Tier; a one-time $1 card check is required to start.
How fast is it for users in Nigeria?
Requests from people in Nigeria travel a much shorter distance to Lagos or Abuja than to a region in Europe or the US, so pages and API calls answer sooner. Pick the city closest to most of your users.
Can I move an existing app or database to Lagos?
Yes. Deploy the app from GitHub with Drone and choose Nigeria (Lagos) as its region. To move a PostgreSQL, MySQL or MariaDB database, use Import a database in the console: it copies your data from another provider, and can keep it in sync until you switch over.
