FAQ: Domain Registration in Kenya

How does domain registration in Kenya work?

Search for the name you want, add it to your cart and pay. The domain is registered in your name, most are active within minutes, and you manage its DNS from the Client Area. Renew it every year, or turn on automatic renewal.

How much does a .co.ke domain cost?

Ksh 1,300 for the first year and Ksh 1,300 a year to renew, paid with M-Pesa, card or bank transfer. It’s free with our Standard, Executive and Platinum web hosting plans.

Should I choose .co.ke or .com?

If most of your customers are in Kenya, .co.ke tells them you’re local and tends to do well in Kenyan search results. If you sell abroad, add the .com too: many businesses register both and point them to the same website.

How do I register a .co.ke domain in Kenya?

Search for your name above, choose the extension and complete payment by M-Pesa, card or bank transfer. Hostnali is a KeNIC-accredited registrar, so your .co.ke domain is registered instantly.

What are the requirements for .sc.ke or .ac.ke domains?

.sc.ke is reserved for junior and senior schools and .ac.ke for institutions of higher learning such as colleges and universities. To register them you submit the certificate of registration from the Ministry of Education for the domain to be approved.

Can I transfer my existing domain to Hostnali?

Yes. We transfer all major extensions (.com, .net, .org and Kenyan .co.ke and .ke), often including a one-year renewal on successful transfer. All you need is the domain’s EPP (authorisation) code from your current registrar.

Is DNS management included?

Yes. Every domain comes with free DNS management, so you can point it at your hosting, email or any other service.

Can I hide my details in WHOIS?

Yes, WHOIS privacy protection is available for extensions whose registry allows it.

How long does it take for a new domain to work?

Registration is instant once payment is confirmed. New DNS settings usually propagate within a few hours, occasionally up to 48 hours.

Are domain fees refundable?

No. Domain registration fees are paid directly to the registry (like KeNIC) to secure your name, so they are non-refundable.

Do you provide 24/7 support in Kenya?

Yes, we offer 24/7 support through live chat, a dedicated ticketing system and phone lines.
