What we show for other providers is a general picture of typical industry practice as of Oct 2026. Their prices and inclusions change often and without notice, which is why the table stays general, so please check details with any provider directly before you buy.

M-Pesa that simply works

Press Pay, select M-Pesa on Paystack's secure checkout page, then confirm the request on your phone. Your hosting then switches on by itself, normally within minutes. You need no card, make no bank transfer and never have to "send proof of payment."

KSh prices that stay put

International hosts charge in US dollars, so a weaker shilling can push your bill up overnight while nothing on your side has changed. We bill in KSh, the currency you are paid in.

Support from Kenyans, in Kenya

Stuck at 2pm on Madaraka Day? Our support team is in Nairobi and keeps Kenyan hours, answering live chat, email and tickets. You will not wait 24 hours for someone in Salt Lake City to reply.

Speed from LiteSpeed

Straight after setup, LiteSpeed Web Server and its LiteSpeed Cache plugin load PHP and WordPress sites measurably quicker than Apache or Nginx would. WooCommerce shops on Kenyan 4G gain the most.

Thinking of leaving your Kenyan host?

Kenya's established hosts do a good job for many people. Where we stand apart is in what you notice from day to day. You pay by M-Pesa or card on Paystack's secure checkout page, and your account activates itself, normally within minutes. Every plan runs on LiteSpeed servers. Your dashboard includes a file manager, phpMyAdmin and one-click login to the control panel. Live chat is answered by a team in Nairobi, and you are covered by a 7-day money-back guarantee. If that combination suits you better, we will move your site across for free.

First order a plan, then ask for a free migration by live chat or ticket. We copy over your files, databases and email and check that everything works on our servers. Only after that do you point your domain at us, so the site never goes offline. Most moves are finished within 24 hours.

No. Visitors keep reaching your site on your old host while we copy it to SiteBoma and test it. The domain is switched to us only once you have confirmed all is well, so nobody sees an outage.

Yes. At your current registrar, unlock the name and request its EPP/auth code, then begin the transfer at siteboma.co.ke/domains. It costs KSh 1,200 and extends your registration by a year. The site stays online throughout.

Give SiteBoma 7 days, risk-free

If we turn out no faster, cheaper or simpler than your current host, ask for your money back and we refund you in full, no questions.
