Support behind the scenes

Server-side problems are ours to fix, leaving you free to grow the business.

Reseller Hosting in Plain Terms

With reseller hosting, you buy hosting capacity wholesale from a provider such as SiteBoma and turn it into hosting plans sold under your own brand. Your customers sign up, pay and manage their websites with your company name on everything. We look after the servers, the security and the back end, and you concentrate on selling and on your customer relationships.

In Kenya it ranks among the simplest digital businesses to launch. Demand is strong from SMEs, freelance web designers, agencies and IT consultants who would like to sell hosting to their clients but have no wish to run their own servers.

An Example in Numbers

Take a web designer in Nairobi who pays KSh 1,500/month for a SiteBoma reseller plan, hosts 20 client websites on it and charges every client KSh 500/month.

Revenue per month: 20 × 500 = KSh 10,000
What you keep: KSh 10,000 − KSh 1,500 = KSh 8,500 every month

Is Reseller Hosting in Kenya Right for You?

Our reseller plans make sense if you already look after several websites, or expect to soon.

Freelancers and Web Designers

Offer design and hosting together as one package under your brand, and earn a monthly retainer rather than one-off project fees.

Agencies

Bring every client site onto one account, with simpler billing, backups in one place and a steady stream of recurring income.

IT Consultancies

Add hosting to the IT services your SME clients already buy from you, and keep them longer with a monthly contract they are unlikely to leave.

NGOs and Schools

Put several internal sites, such as staff portals, project pages and alumni sites, on one managed plan paid with a single invoice.

New Hosting Entrepreneurs

Launch an independent hosting brand in Kenya without owning a single server. We take care of the difficult technical work while you grow the business.

Churches and Community Groups

Manage several sites, for chapters, ministries or events, from a single dashboard with shared logins for your admins.

Getting Started as a SiteBoma Reseller

Going from sign-up to selling under your own brand takes four steps.

1

Choose Your Plan

Size it to the number of client accounts and the total disk space you expect to use during your first year.

2

Set Up Your Brand

Point your own nameservers, add your logo in DirectAdmin and build hosting packages at the prices you choose.

3

Add Your Clients

Create their accounts in the DirectAdmin reseller panel, send each client their login details and bill them the way you prefer, whether M-Pesa, card or bank.

4

Grow

When you outgrow your resources, move to a larger plan or a VPS. You do not have to migrate anything yourself, because we do it for you.

Reseller Hosting Questions

What resellers in Kenya most often ask us.

Will my clients ever see the SiteBoma name?

No. You use branded nameservers of your own (for example ns1.yourbrand.com) and a DirectAdmin login skin with your branding, and you decide the prices. Your clients deal only with you, never with SiteBoma.

Does SiteBoma send invoices to my clients?

No. How you charge your clients is up to you: your own M-Pesa Till or Paybill, bank transfer, direct debit or card. The only person SiteBoma bills is you, the reseller.

Who helps my clients when something goes wrong?

You do, because yours is the brand they know. When the problem is on the server side, such as a full disk, blocked mail or a PHP version issue, you raise it with SiteBoma support on their behalf.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. You can move up or down between reseller plans at any time without a migration. Once reseller hosting is too small for you, step up to a managed VPS and keep your DirectAdmin setup as it is.

How is a reseller plan different from a VPS?

Reseller hosting is a shared, managed environment in which you create accounts through the DirectAdmin reseller panel. A VPS gives you full root access, but it has no reseller panel unless you install one yourself.

How do I get a .co.ke domain for a client?

Use our domain search to register it under your own account, then assign it to that client's DirectAdmin user. Domains can also be registered for clients through your reseller panel.
