TucanaNG: Bringing Small Businesses into the Formal Economy One Business at a Time.

Over the years, Nigerian businesses have maximally utilized and leveraged on the powerful tool called social media, to showcase their products and services in terms of engagement, reach, conversion and sales. Businesses have gotten more returns than they normally would without making use of social media.

On the flipside, however, businesses are becoming overly-dependent on social media and algorithms are ever changing, not only that, there are chances of having privacy or security issues, extortion problems, to mention a few.

This begs the question: Is social media enough to push your brand forward?
At TucanaNG, we believe that apart from social media, businesses need their online unique identity in order to position themselves right in front of your customers. Identity that will speak professionalism, expertise and integrity.

To achieve this, we render web services that are needed to help Nigerian businesses scale globally.

TucanaNG is a web hosting and domain registration platform that offers other services like web security, email hosting, website creation.

It is designed to be the fastest, reliable and most secure web hosting in Nigeria, and Africa at large. With its servers seated on Microsoft Azure, which is the largest server farm in the world, websites hosted on TucanaNG are guaranteed 99.9% uptime.

“Although, the host of the entire platform is Azure, the traffic and all the information that traverses over the network is resolving within locally the TucanaNG DNS servers in our virtual online network, the domain host and the content in a given pool. This is to give a unique Nigerian experience to the globe and global experience back to Nigeria with standard industry practice, while all the content is still regulated and monitored through our virtual network host (Azure) and DNS servers.”

TucanaNG is an accredited NiRA premium registrar which as a result, makes .ng domain extensions cheaper, starting from as low as #500.

“Because it is made for the Nigerian market, we ensure that we offer quality indigenous services at affordable prices. For instance, you can get a plan that has both domain and hosting for as low as #3,500. The goal is to get as many small businesses as we can to the formal global market.” added Mr. Tawheed Olayemi, the company COO.
Most importantly, we ensure that our customers get an efficient and effective 24/7 billing and technical support via live chat, phone calls and emails.

“One of our target market is small businesses and we make sure to guide them from start (choosing a domain) to finish (publishing their websites online).” Says the COO. “We currently have some features that will soon be released. They were brought about by the feedback and suggestions we got from our existing customers. We put our customers first and we are constantly sorting out ways to serve them better.”

Small businesses need to come into the formal economy by having an online communication window to their customers, and this starts with a domain.
