Our story
Built in Kenya, for Kenya

HostYetu started when our founders noticed that most Kenyan businesses were registering domains and hosting websites with foreign companies — paying in dollars, dealing with overseas support, and struggling with slow load times caused by servers thousands of kilometres away.

We built HostYetu to fix that. Servers hosted in Nairobi. Payments via M-Pesa. Support from a team that speaks your language, understands your timezone, and picks up the phone.

Today we serve thousands of businesses across Kenya — from solo entrepreneurs registering their first .co.ke domain to enterprises running complex multi-server infrastructure.

What makes us different
Servers in Kenya — low latency for Kenyan visitors, data stays in-country and compliant with the Data Protection Act
M-Pesa first — pay for everything via M-Pesa STK push. No foreign card, no dollar conversions
KENIC accredited — we register .co.ke and .ke domains directly, not through a middleman
Nairobi support team — real people, real time, via WhatsApp, phone, and live chat
AI-powered support — instant answers to DNS, cPanel, and hosting questions at any hour
Our values
What we stand for
Every decision we make comes back to these principles.
L
Local first
We invest in Kenyan infrastructure, hire Kenyan talent, and price in KES so businesses don't suffer from exchange rate volatility.
R
Reliability
We back everything with a 99.9% uptime SLA. When something goes wrong, we fix it fast and communicate clearly.
T
Transparency
No hidden renewal fees. No bait-and-switch pricing. What you see on our website is what you pay — now and at renewal.
A
Accessibility
Getting online should be easy for every Kenyan business — from a Nairobi startup to a Kisumu small business.
S
Security
Free SSL on every domain, WHOIS privacy included, and data stored on servers compliant with Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019.
I
Innovation
We were among the first Kenyan registrars to offer AI-powered support. We keep bringing the best technology to local customers.
