Give customers the details they need to contact you

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.

Your service, in plain language

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.

A contact route you check

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.

Details you can change yourself

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.

Start with the website and mailboxes you actually need

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.

Start with the website you need this year

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

WordPress pages, a service list and enquiries

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

Products, payments and order messages

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.

Keep the business in control of its website

An address for the whole team

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.

A sensible backup routine

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.

A handover you can use

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.

Changing providers? Move the working parts together

Our hosting catalogue lists free website migration. Agree what the move includes, especially if your email is staying elsewhere.

01

List the services

Gather website, domain and email access. Identify the forms and mailboxes people already rely on.

02

Check the replacement

Try the contact form, phone links and key pages before changing where the domain points.

03

Keep enquiries coming

Confirm email still sends and receives. Close the old service only after the move and any message copying are complete.

Business hosting FAQs

How much does small business web hosting cost?

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.

Which hosting plan does a small business need?

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.

Does web hosting include a website?

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.

Can I use my own business domain and email?

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.

Can I move my business website without changing its address?

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.

Will hosting help my business appear on Google?

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.

Can I add an online shop later?

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.

Signs Your Website Hosting Is Working Against Your Business

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:

  • Your website loads slowly for users accessing it on their phones
  • Customers struggle to open your website
  • Your site experiences unexpected downtime
  • Your business emails are flagged as spam or stop functioning
  • Simple edits and updates feel unnecessarily difficult
  • Support responses are slow when problems occur

If even a couple of these feel familiar, your current hosting deserves a second look.
