Getting started

The first ten minutes with NairaCloud — accounts, plans, and your first instance.

What NairaCloud is

NairaCloud rents cloud instances, priced in naira and paid through Paystack. No dollar card, no forex math, no surprise bank conversions — what the pricing page says, your card pays in naira.

  • Instances run Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, or Debian 12 on our own hardware.
  • Each instance gets a public IPv4, root SSH access, and a daily backup window.
  • You pay per month, pro-rated when you move between plans mid-billing.

Create an account

Sign up with an email and a password of eight or more characters with a letter and a number. We send a six-digit verification code before you deploy. From then on, a single Paystack card on file covers every instance.

Your first deploy

Head to the dashboard and pick Deploy Instance. You choose a plan, an operating system, an SSH key, and a hostname — the whole flow is five short steps and takes about a minute.

Three things to know before you start:

  • Your SSH key must be added before deploy — the wizard lets you paste one in place.
  • The FREE plan has no SLA and is first to stop when capacity tightens. Production work sits on STARTER and up.
  • You are billed the moment provisioning begins.
