Ten SurferCloud Offers Are Live at the Lagos Node: What Each One Costs

Lagos carries the node code NG(Lagos) and belongs to the EMEA group on SurferCloud's network, which places it alongside Frankfurt, London, and Dubai rather than with the Americas or Asia nodes. It is the only African location among the seventeen data centres the promotion pages list, which makes it the shortest route onto the platform for traffic that originates in West Africa instead of reaching Europe first. Every figure below is read off that node's own rendered price table.

The offers split into two groups, and the split is the useful part. UHost, Windows VPS, the trial plan, hourly billing, and the Linux/Windows bundle are priced node by node, so Lagos carries figures that belong to Lagos and nowhere else. ULightHost, the 2026 annual special deals, the $1/mo entry cards, and the quant line are priced globally, so they cost the same here as anywhere else and are described below as available at the standard rate rather than as a Nigerian saving. Nine offer sections follow, each with its rendered table.

UHost Elastic Cloud Server — From $6.9/mo with Dedicated Bandwidth

UHost is the elastic compute line: dedicated vCPU, dedicated bandwidth, and unmetered traffic on every tier. The promotion runs two tabs, a New User Deal that renews at the regular price and an All Users Save tab open to everyone with the renewal price locked. The table below is the New User Deal pricing for Lagos. Note the shape of the Lagos row set: the $6.9/mo entry price is flat across nodes, so what moves with location is the struck-through list price and therefore how deep the discount reads. At Lagos the entry tier lists at $45.41/mo, which is a shallower cut than the entry tier shows at several other locations.

Affordable Windows VPS — Licensed Windows, No Setup Fee

The Windows VPS promotion ships a genuine Windows Server licence at no extra cost and charges no setup fee, and its table is priced per node. Lagos's entry configuration lists at $45.41/mo and sells at $20.43/mo, with bandwidth stepping up from 1/2 Mbps at the bottom of the range to 5/10/20 Mbps at the top. Every tier runs a 40GB system disk, and the page states that renewal prices are the same as the initial offer. The point of the line is the licence: it is included in the bill rather than added to it. If you are weighing a licensed instance against a self-managed one, the trade-offs in comparing cloud desktop architectures and licensing are the relevant backdrop.

UHost Trial Plan — Three Days or Seven Days, From $1.9

The trial promotion exists so a workload can be measured on real hardware before it is bought, and it is priced per node. Every configuration is quoted twice, once for a three-day block and once for a seven-day block, and both columns appear below. Lagos's entry plan runs $1.9 for three days against a $15.81 list, or $3.9 for seven days against a $36.89 list. The offer is limited to one participation per customer and one unit per purchase, and the price reverts to the regular rate once the trial window closes. Each plan carries a 40GB system disk. If you want the window to produce a decision rather than just a running instance, the method in running a cloud server trial as a measurable evaluation applies directly.

Hourly Cloud Servers — $0.07 per Instance-Hour at Lagos

Hourly billing is priced the same at every node except Hong Kong, so Lagos's meter matches the global rate rather than offering a local saving: the entry configuration bills at $0.07 per instance-hour, rising to $0.61 for a 16C 32G instance, with dedicated CPU and dedicated bandwidth on every tier. The page states plainly that hourly billing is not discounted and points at the monthly deals instead, which leaves the choice a simple question of how long the instance runs — the hourly-versus-monthly break-even works through that arithmetic. The free system disk is 40GB at this node.

Linux/Windows Bundle — $256.19/mo Entry, Unlimited Transfer

The bundle promotion is priced per node and carries a 30 Mbps bandwidth cap with unlimited transfer on every tier. Because the figures move with location, Lagos's own row is what belongs here: a 1C 2G configuration listing at $467.39/mo against a $256.19/mo sale, up to a 16C 32G configuration at $759.04/mo list and $402.02/mo sale. Lagos is one of the more expensive nodes for this particular offer, which is worth knowing before comparing it against a European or North American location. Two landing pages point at this one offer set — /promos/combine and /promos/cloudserver — and they render the identical table, so they are treated as a single section here rather than two. The page states that renewal prices now stay the same as the initial rate.

ULightHost VPS — The $2.9/mo Entry Line

The ULightHost lightweight line is the cheapest route onto the platform, and its card pricing is identical on every node, so Lagos is covered here at the standard rate rather than at a node-specific discount. Eight cards are listed across two deal tracks: a New User Deal that renews at the regular price, and an All Users Save track with the renewal price locked — the single exception being the annual Lite card. Every plan includes one dedicated IPv4 address, 30M bandwidth, unlimited inbound traffic, and support for Linux or Windows. The line is a fixed-configuration appliance that cannot be resized, which is the main reason to weigh it against UHost rather than on price alone; the difference between the two lines is the more useful comparison.

Special Deals 2026 — Annual VPS at Half Price

The annual promotion covers ULightHost and UHost on monthly, 6-month, and annual cycles, and its Lite Server table prices identically at every node. The ten annual rows below are worth reading as a set: the sale column is exactly half the list column on every single row. Ten traffic tiers are offered, running from 200GB to 4096GB, and the plan is billed on an annual cycle rather than monthly. The page states that apart from the annual ULightHost package, which requires contacting an account manager for manual renewal, the other packages renew automatically. If you are weighing an annual commitment against monthly billing, the framing in the implied interest rate on prepaid discounts is the sharper way to read the gap.

$1/mo Entry Cards — Four Configurations, All Nodes

The entry-level card promotion starts at $1/mo and prices the same on every node, Lagos included. Four cards are listed, each capped at 30M bandwidth with one dedicated IPv4 address, from a 1C 1G Essential card at $1/mo up to a 2C 4G Ultimate card at $3.9/mo. As with the other new-user tiers on this page, the headline price applies to the first billing period and the card auto-renews at the regular rate.

Quant Trading Cloud Server — Low-Latency Placement

The quant line is built for algorithmic trading and Web3 workloads: nodes are placed within 100km of the major exchanges, 25G plus RDMA networking is used, and the service is positioned as directly connected to exchange and blockchain RPC endpoints across 17 global zones near the New York, Tokyo, and Hong Kong exchanges. This table prices identically at every node, so Lagos carries it at the standard rate. Six configurations are listed, with the smallest starting at $15.49/mo and the largest at $237.68/mo. The line is optimised for placement rather than for general hosting, so if raw compute per dollar is the metric that matters, the cloud server pricing benchmarks are the fairer comparison, and for a trading-specific view of what distance costs, measuring exchange API round-trip time before moving a bot shows the method.

Terms That Apply Across These Promotions

Several conditions are stated on the promotion pages themselves and apply regardless of which plan is purchased:

• Data centre IPs are not replaceable. Every plan on these pages uses a data centre IP address, and the pages state plainly that IP changes are not supported.
• Port 25 is blocked by default. This applies to the UHost, trial, hourly, ULightHost, and entry-card products alike.
• Default system usernames are fixed: Windows ships as administrator; CentOS, Debian, and RedHat as root; Ubuntu as ubuntu.
• The system disk default is 40GB at this node. The promotional UHost, trial, and hourly offers carry a 40GB system disk at all nodes except São Paulo and Dubai, which carry 20GB; Lagos is not one of the exceptions. After purchase the disk can be expanded up to 500GB, and additional data disks are available separately.
• Promotional plans cannot change zones or configurations. The pages state that once purchased, the plan does not support changing availability zones or resizing, and that deleting resources mid-term refunds at list price on the UHost and bundle offers, and at the original price on the trial, ULightHost, and entry-card offers.
• Purchase caps differ by promotion. On the UHost promotion, new-user plans are limited to one server per customer while the all-user plans are limited to five; ULightHost and the entry cards are limited to one server per customer per plan.
• Renewal terms vary by promotion. New-user tiers and the entry cards renew at the regular price; the UHost All Users Save tab advertises a locked renewal price; the ULightHost All Users Save track locks renewal except on the Lite annual card; the bundle promotion keeps renewal at the initial rate; and the Windows promotion renews at the same price as the initial offer.
• Hourly billing is not discounted. The hourly page states this directly and points at the monthly deals for savings.
• Windows licensing is included at no extra cost. On the Windows VPS promotion, the Windows licence is covered by SurferCloud and no setup fee is charged.
• The annual promotion carries its own rules. UHost plans bought under it cannot be downgraded, and system reinstallation must use the same disk size as the original purchase.

Buying at the Lagos Node

Each promotion has its own purchase page, and each link below carries the Lagos offer set:

• UHost elastic cloud server promotion
• Windows VPS with a free licence
• 3-day and 7-day UHost trial plan
• hourly cloud servers
• Linux/Windows bundle (combine entry)
• Linux/Windows bundle (cloudserver entry)
• ULightHost lightweight VPS
• 2026 special deals, annual VPS
• $1/mo entry cards
• quant trading cloud servers

Two things are worth carrying away from this page. The first is that the bundle is the offer where Lagos stands out most: its own entry configuration sells at $256.19/mo, the steepest entry figure this promotion carries at any node. The second is that most of what is listed here — ULightHost, the annual special deals, the entry cards, and the quant line — costs the same wherever you deploy it, which leaves the node-priced offers the ones worth comparing. On placement, choosing a region by its latency floor sets out what an African node can and cannot fix, and if the disk sizing affects which tier you pick, five measurements to take before buying a cloud server is the companion.
