Serving Ugandan businesses

A support team next door, not on another continent

Plenty of Kampala businesses already have a website. The trouble is keeping it alive. It was built by someone who has since moved on, it sits on a hosting account whose password nobody has, nothing has been backed up, and the SSL certificate lapsed two years ago. Technically it still loads, while Chrome tells every visitor the site is not secure.

Fixing that is plain work, not magic. You get a proper control panel with your own login, backups taken every day that you can restore yourself, an SSL certificate that renews without anyone setting a reminder, and email on your own domain instead of a free address printed on your card. That is our product, and it is exactly what our Kenyan customers buy from us.

Sitting one border away helps more than you might think. Uganda and Kenya share a time zone and both do business in English, so a chat you start at eleven on a Tuesday reaches someone who is at work, understands the question and can answer it.

Included on every plan

  • An SSL certificate at no cost, renewed for you
  • NVMe SSD storage behind a LiteSpeed web server
  • The DirectAdmin panel, with WordPress in one click
  • Mailboxes at your own domain name
  • A backup every day, which you can restore without us
  • Your existing site moved across free
  • Uptime tested every minute and shown live on our status page

Who our hosting suits in Uganda

Farming and exports

Exporters of coffee, tea and fresh produce who want foreign buyers to find them and believe what they read.

Shops and small firms

Kampala traders and service companies ready to own a site instead of relying on WhatsApp and Facebook.

Schools and universities

Results portals, admissions pages and staff mailboxes, enough for an entire department.

NGOs and foundations

Groups using .or.ug that want an official-looking domain and reporting pages for donors.

Lodges and tours

Operators near Bwindi, Murchison and the Nile whose enquiries arrive from overseas.

Developers and agencies

Kampala studios and developers after a real control panel, room for staging and SSH without a fight.

Where your site is physically hosted

Our hosting server is not in Kenya: it is in the United Kingdom, and it serves our Kenyan customers too. Help by live chat, email or ticket comes from our Nairobi team, on East Africa Time.

You will not find a made-up latency number here. Instead, our live status page tests our website, the hosting server, mail, the payment gateway and the domain registry once a minute, and keeps the honest record, bad days included.

Good to know in Uganda

  • East Africa Time, UTC+3: identical to Nairobi, so we keep the same working hours as you
  • Our team replies in English
  • Visitors on MTN Uganda and Airtel Uganda open your site the same way they open any other
  • Covering Kampala, Entebbe, Jinja, Gulu, Mbarara, Mbale

Domains for Uganda

As well as .com, .org and 200+ other extensions, we can register the ones that belong to Uganda. Our team handles these country domains by hand, so they are not instant at checkout: allow one business day. The invoice comes first, and we confirm the domain once registration completes. Look at the renewal column before you decide, since some extensions cost more to renew than to register.

Extension Register Renew Transfer in
.co.ug KSh 5,310$40.85/yr KSh 6,750$51.92/yr KSh 6,750$51.92/yr Check
.or.ug KSh 5,310$40.85/yr KSh 6,840$52.62/yr KSh 6,840$52.62/yr Check
.ug KSh 5,310$40.85/yr KSh 6,840$52.62/yr KSh 6,840$52.62/yr Check

These figures come straight from our live catalogue, so the price shown is the price charged. Still undecided? Our guide on picking a domain name works just as well beyond Kenya's borders.

How to pay from Uganda

Ways to pay

  • Visa or Mastercard on Paystack's secure checkout page. From Uganda this is the usual way to pay, and you need nothing extra to use it.
  • Billed in KSh. If dollars are easier to read, the currency switcher in the menu shows US dollar prices. Whatever you view, the charge is in Kenyan shillings, with your bank converting from Ugandan shillings at its own rate.
  • Bank transfer, for yearly invoices or bigger projects. Ask us on live chat and we will send you the details.

What we cannot accept, so checkout holds no surprises

M-Pesa at our checkout means Safaricom M-Pesa in Kenya and nothing else. However widely they are used in Uganda, MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money Uganda are not available at checkout. Better that you read it here than find out halfway through paying.

No VAT is added to our prices. Should your accountant need the invoice laid out a certain way for local bookkeeping, tell us and we will issue it in that format.

Switching to SiteBoma from Uganda

1

Share the details

Let us know who hosts you now, which domain you use and roughly how large the site is. Live chat gets the quickest reply.

2

We move a copy

Your files, databases and mailboxes come over to our server and are tested there, while the old site carries on running.

3

You review it

A preview link lets you inspect the new copy. Your visitors see no change until you approve it.

4

Switch the domain

Change the nameservers yourself, or let us do it when the domain is registered with us. Every paid plan includes the move free.

What people in Uganda ask us

No, not at present, and we would rather tell you now than at checkout. Safaricom M-Pesa in Kenya is the only mobile money we can take, so MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money Uganda are not available. The usual way to pay from Uganda is Visa or Mastercard on Paystack's secure checkout page, which needs nothing special from you. For a yearly invoice or a larger project, ask on live chat and we will send bank transfer details.

The current price is in the table above. Check the renewal column as well as the first-year one: Ugandan extensions cost more to renew than to register, and we prefer you see both now rather than be surprised a year from now. We register .ug, .co.ug and .or.ug. Our team arranges them by hand instead of selling them instantly at checkout, so give it about a business day.

Your site will sit on our hosting server in the United Kingdom, not in Kenya or Uganda. We choose not to print a millisecond figure here, because speed depends on each visitor's network and a single number for a whole country would be a guess. What we do share is our status page, refreshed every minute, with the real state of the website, the hosting server, mail and payments.

Often, yes; it happens a lot. If the domain is still under your control, we can build new hosting around it. If the site is still live, we can frequently copy what it serves publicly even without panel access. Open a live chat, give us the domain, and before you pay anything we will tell you plainly what can be recovered and what cannot.

Yes. Uganda and Kenya keep the same time, so there is no gap to plan around. People in Nairobi staff live chat across the business day, and tickets get answers outside those hours. Nobody is reading you a script from an overnight call centre.

Yes. Hosting, domains, email and SSL are what we mainly sell, and our team also builds sites through our website design service when you have none or the old one has been left to decay. Many Ugandan customers come for hosting, find the current site is beyond saving and ask us to rebuild it. The hosting is the same whichever route you take.
