The Elite West African Gateway
GTZHost offers highly optimized interconnection with MainOne (an Equinix Company), the premier provider of wholesale internet and enterprise connectivity in West Africa. Operating AS37282 and a proprietary 7,000-kilometer submarine cable from Portugal down to Nigeria, MainOne is the digital lifeblood of the region.
Our direct cross-connects to MainOne empower financial institutions, cloud operators, and CDNs to deliver content natively into Nigeria, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire. This bypasses highly congested traditional transit routes, achieving microscopic ping times into Africa's largest economy.

Why route through MainOne with GTZHost?
When user traffic originates from or targets the West African corridor, GTZHost’s BGP architecture instantly prioritizes MainOne’s routes. This proactive optimization prevents data from traversing long, indirect continental paths, securing an enterprise-grade Quality of Experience (QoE) for your end-users.
