Paying for web hosting in Nigeria used to mean dealing with dollar-denominated invoices and failed card transactions. Not anymore. With Paystack and Flutterwave, you can pay for your Danets Server hosting using whatever method works for you — and your account activates instantly.
USSD is perfect if your card isn't working or you prefer not to enter card details online.
At checkout, select Flutterwave → USSD
Select your bank to get a unique code (e.g. 737000*1234567# for GTB)
Dial the code on your phone
Enter your PIN to confirm
Your hosting activates within seconds
USSD codes by bank:
GTB: *737#
Access: *901#
Zenith: *966#
UBA: *919#
First Bank: *894#
Stanbic: *909#
Step-by-step: paying with bank transfer
At checkout, select Flutterwave → Bank Transfer
You'll receive a unique virtual account number in your name
Transfer the exact amount from your bank app
Payment confirms in under 2 minutes
Hosting goes live automatically
Troubleshooting
"Transaction declined" — Check that your card has sufficient funds and isn't restricted to local use. Try USSD or bank transfer instead.
"Payment successful but hosting not activated" — Wait 2-3 minutes for the webhook to process. If still not active, open a support ticket with your transaction reference.
"USSD code not working" — Make sure you're dialing from the phone number linked to your bank account. Each bank has its own code.
