In this blog post, we’ll list the best Namecheap alternatives in Kenya for domain registration, web hosting, and other services.
Let us get right to it, shall we?
a). Bluehost
If you want a reliable hosting provider in Kenya at a good price point (especially when there’s an offer), it’s hard to go wrong with BlueHost.
Their customer service is also rated highly by customers on Sitejabber.com, which helps make up for any downtime that may occur or issues that arise.
Bluehost Pros:
- Easy to use
- Affordable price points
Bluehost Cons:
- Limited features for advanced users
b). Truehost Kenya

c). AWS – Amazon Web Services
If you need an offsite backup location that’s secure but also affordable then this is the solution for you because it starts at just $0.07 per gigabyte of storage space per month!
You will have access to over 100 different pieces of software as well so no worries about compatibility issues with all your favorite programs when using this provider.
d). Dreamhost
DreamHost offers sites hosted on WordPress in Kenya an easy way to manage all their posts through one interface.
It is worth noting that they also offer unlimited storage space and reliable customer service.
DreamHost Pros:
- Unlimited storage space
- Reliable customer service
- WordPress hosting in Kenya (easy to manage site)
e). SiteGround
If you’re looking for a more robust choice, then Siteground in Kenya is your best bet.
Their hosting packages come with plenty of room for expansion and include support in over 20 languages.
SiteGround Pros:
- Great customer service even on weekends
- Lots of storage space available (unlike Bluehost)
- Comes with cPanel which includes the ability to create simple scripts or powerful databases (website builders are also included
f). Hostgator
If price is an issue, this might be worth checking out as it starts at only $33 per year for domain registration with unlimited email addresses, databases, storage space (with disk quota) and more.
The downside?
Customer service has been rated below average by Sitejabber users.
But many people claim that no issues occurred throughout the duration of their contract which makes it seem like a good option if you’re not too worried about customer service.
g). GoDaddy
With prices as low as $4.74/month, this domain registrar has plenty of affordable options up its sleeve!
They are however limited in features.
You cannot create databases or scripts through cPanel like you can with Namecheap domains.
Godaddy Pros:
- Low prices
- Decent Uptime at 99.94%
- Great Page Load Time at 531 ms
Godaddy Cons:
- Limited features
- They also have a reputation for being annoying with their upsells.
We would not recommend them to anyone who is looking for hosting services or web design/development assistance.
Instead, look for HostKing.dev
In conclusion, when looking for an alternative to NameCheap in Kenya there are many alternatives out there.
But the most important thing to keep in mind when choosing one is to make sure your needs will be met by their features as well as price point.
Make sure you read reviews from other customers to find out more about their experiences as well!
