Other-provider information is generalised and reflects typical industry positions as of May 2026. Specific prices and features change frequently — please verify directly with any provider before purchase. We deliberately don't name other Kenyan hosts here because pricing and inclusions on their side change without notice.
No card. No bank transfer. No "send proof of payment." You tap a button, get STK Push, enter PIN, and your hosting is live. Most M-Pesa-friendly hosts add the integration; ours is built around it.
Global hosts price in USD. When the shilling weakens, your hosting bill jumps overnight — even though you've done nothing different. We bill in KSh because that's what you earn in.
Need help on Madaraka Day at 2pm? Our support is in Nairobi, on Kenyan hours. We answer WhatsApp, email and tickets. No 24-hour wait for a reply from Salt Lake City.
LiteSpeed Web Server + the LiteSpeed Cache plugin make PHP/WordPress sites measurably faster than Apache or Nginx out of the box — particularly for WooCommerce on Kenyan 4G.
If we're not faster, cheaper or simpler than what you're using now, get a full refund — no questions.
