Websites · hosting · IT · cloud — Lagos, Nigeria

Websites and cloud systems that stay up.

I build websites, online shops and IT systems for businesses, then host them, back them up and keep them running. I've kept company servers online since 2008.

Sites I built, checked from your browser just now.

Most business websites don't fail at launch. They fail six months later.

What usually happens

The hosting bill lapses and the site goes offline.
The domain expires and someone else registers it.
There's no backup, so one bad update wipes everything.
The designer stops answering messages.

What you get here

Hosting and renewals tracked for you.
Your domain registered in your business's name.
Regular backups, and I test that they restore.

Services

What I do

Websites, online shops & web apps

A fast, mobile-first site that tells customers what you do and gets them to call, WhatsApp or visit. Selling online? I build shops and web apps with Paystack, Flutterwave or Stripe payments, so customers can pay by card or bank transfer, in naira or other currencies.

For any business that needs customers to find it, contact it or buy from it.

Quoted in naira

Hosting & care plans

One monthly plan, so you never deal with the technical side:

Hosting
SSL certificate
Backups
Uptime monitoring
Security updates
Small edits

Quoted monthly in naira

Office IT & infrastructure

Networks and Wi-Fi, servers, firewalls, user accounts, backup and disaster recovery. What I've run day to day for 18 years.

For offices that need IT that works without a full-time IT department.

Quoted in naira

Cloud & DevOps

Move applications to AWS or Azure, package them with Docker and Kubernetes, and automate releases with CI/CD pipelines and Terraform.

For startups and tech teams, in Nigeria or abroad.

TimeZone Hero

Why: Working remotely with a team in Finland, I kept joining calls at the wrong time. So I built the converter I wanted.
Built: A fast time zone converter that handles daylight saving correctly, with a date picker for planning future meetings. Over 4,000 pages, one per city pair, built for search engines, plus a free JSON API for developers and a widget other sites can embed. Next.js on Vercel.

~/petclinic-eks

Production-style platform on AWS EKS

Took a seven-service Java application and built the whole platform around it on AWS: infrastructure in Terraform, GitOps delivery, autoscaling for both pods and servers, and tracing across every service.

Deploys run through GitHub Actions and Argo CD with no stored AWS keys (OIDC).
Under load, Karpenter added a server and scheduled the waiting pods in about 90 seconds.
Whole environment builds with one command and tears down to near-zero cost between demos.

About

Who you'll be working with

I'm Lanre Awe. Since 2008 I've been the systems administrator for an oil and gas company in Lagos: servers, networks, firewalls, backups, and the staff who need all of it working every morning.

In 2026 I added cloud engineering: Kubernetes on Azure as a DevOps intern with a Finnish cloud consultancy, and a production-style platform on AWS that I built on my own.

Ralph Network puts both together, for businesses that want their website and IT done properly and kept running.
