Someone arriving from a search or a recommendation may know very little about your business. A useful website answers the first few questions without making them call.
Explain the job you take on, the area you cover and what a customer should send with an enquiry. A clear description helps you receive requests you can act on.
Put the phone number or enquiry form beside the service. Try it on a phone and make sure a message reaches the person who handles new work.
Opening hours and service information should stay current after the site launches. WordPress lets your team edit pages; cPanel handles hosting tasks such as files and mailboxes.

For a service website, count the people who need email on your domain and the pages or photos you will host. If you already use a separate email provider, record its mail settings before moving the website so you can keep email where it is.
A service business with a few pages has different needs from a shop taking orders. Choose around the work on the website, then compare the plan limits.
A business information site
Our Starter listing includes 30 GiB SSD storage, up to ten websites, email and SSL. Compare your existing files and mailboxes with that allowance before choosing a larger plan.
Customers buying through the website
An online shop also needs store software, a payment provider and delivery settings. Review our e-commerce hosting page and test an order before you send customers to the checkout.
A mailbox such as [email protected] can stay with the business when staff change. Create separate staff access where your software supports it, and keep account recovery details with the owner.
Starter and Pro currently list daily backups. Ask which restore points are available when you need one, and keep a separate copy before a major website change.
Record who renews the domain, who receives hosting invoices and who maintains WordPress. A developer can build the site while the business keeps ownership of the accounts.
Our hosting catalogue lists free website migration. Agree what the move includes, especially if your email is staying elsewhere.
Gather website, domain and email access. Identify the forms and mailboxes people already rely on.
Try the contact form, phone links and key pages before changing where the domain points.
Confirm email still sends and receives. Close the old service only after the move and any message copying are complete.
You can pay Kshs 2,500 for twelve months of WebHosting Starter, or choose Webhosting Starter Monthly at Kshs 500 per month. The plan cards show other terms alongside their full charges.
Include the domain renewal and any website design work in your budget. Those charges are separate from hosting.
Start by listing your websites, mailbox storage and website software. For an ordinary WordPress business site, compare Starter first.
Its allowance covers up to ten websites, but you still need to check the combined storage and each site’s workload.
Hosting gives you an account where a website can run. You still need to build the pages or move an existing site.
You can install WordPress, work with a developer or use our web design service; compare those costs separately.
Yes. You can connect an existing domain to the website and keep email with its current provider.
Preserve the email DNS records when you change the website’s routing. Our shared hosting listings also include email accounts if you want to set up mail here.
Yes. Moving the site to a new host does not require a new domain.
Arrange the migration, test a copy and then update the relevant DNS records. Keep the existing hosting active while you check the new site and any email that is moving.
Hosting makes your pages available; it does not promise a search position. Publish useful service pages, keep your contact details accurate and make the site easy to use on a phone.
Search visibility also depends on the content and other factors beyond your hosting plan.
You can add store software to a compatible website. Before taking payments, check its current server requirements and the account resources it needs.
Set up products, shipping and a payment provider, then test the complete order journey.

For many small businesses in Kenya, cheap hosting feels like a good starting point. However, as the business grows, the shortcomings of such hosting start to surface. These usually include:
If even a couple of these feel familiar, your current hosting deserves a second look.
Even on Kenya’s commonly used mobile networks, your website loads without delay. Faster page speeds keep visitors interested and reduce the chance they leave immediately. This ensures small businesses can turn casual browsing into meaningful enquiries.
Your website is available whenever users attempt to access it, not just during low-traffic periods. Consistent accessibility keeps your business in front of customers and helps maintain credibility while avoiding missed chances.
Manage your website files, emails, and domains easily through a simple control panel. You don’t need any technical experience to handle daily updates, making it easy to stay in control without relying on developers.
Create email addresses using your business domain name, instantly boosting credibility with customers and partners. It also helps keep all work communication organised and professional.
Your hosting comes with security measures from day one. SSL certificates safeguard visitor information and boost trust, while basic protections reduce the risk of common website threats.
Our hosting support is ready whenever your website or email encounters issues. Real people handle real problems, not just automated replies, helping resolve issues quickly and keeping your business running smoothly.
For small businesses, pricing needs to be simple, fair, and easy to adjust. Our hosting plans are created to match your present business needs, while supporting growth as you progress.
All details are straightforward, and upgrades happen only when your business requires them.
You are charged only for what your business truly requires, with easy upgrades available whenever you are ready.
