Cheap Web Hosting in Kenya
Get a website online for the price of a few matatu rides a month. Here is what the entry plan includes, what to check, and when it is worth paying more.
What is the cheapest web hosting at NairoHost?
The short answer: The cheapest NairoHost plan is Starter Hosting, from KES 2,000 a year, and you can pay for it by M-Pesa. It suits a brochure site, a portfolio or a small blog. If you take orders online or expect steady traffic, Corporate Hosting from KES 10,000 a year is the safer place to start.

What does the cheapest plan actually get you?
Starter Hosting is the entry plan. It is built for a single website: a brochure site, a portfolio, a small blog, or a landing page for a business that mostly takes enquiries by phone or WhatsApp.
Every Starter tier includes a free SSL certificate, so the site loads over HTTPS with the padlock from the first day.
The price table above reads each Starter tier straight from our price list. Storage and the number of websites grow with each tier, so you can start small and move up as the site grows. The Starter Hosting page lists everything each tier includes.
What should you check before buying any cheap hosting plan?
A low monthly price is only a good deal if the plan fits the site. Before you pay for any cheap plan, from us or anyone else, check these five things:
- The renewal price. Some hosts advertise a first-term price that rises when the plan renews. Ask what you will pay in year two.
- Storage and websites. Photos, videos and backups fill space quickly, and many entry plans allow one website only.
- Email limits. Check how many mailboxes you get and how much storage each one has.
- Backups. Find out who takes them, how often, and whether you can restore a copy yourself.
- Support. Know how to reach a person when something breaks, and in which hours.
How is cheap hosting billed?
The plans on this page are priced in Kenyan shillings, the same currency you pay in at checkout, so there is no exchange rate to watch and no dollar card needed.
Every hosting plan can be paid yearly, so you can cover the whole year in a single payment.
The pricing page shows every hosting plan side by side if you want to compare before choosing.
When should you move up to Corporate or WordPress hosting?
Starter is the right plan until the site starts asking more of it. Signs it is time to move up:
- You want to run several websites from one account.
- The site takes orders or payments, so slow pages cost you sales.
- A WordPress site has slowed down as plugins and content piled up.
- Your team needs more mailboxes and more storage per mailbox.
| Plan | Starts at | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Starter Hosting | KES 2,000 a year | One brochure site, portfolio or blog |
| Corporate Hosting | KES 10,000 a year | Established businesses running several sites |
| WordPress Hosting | KES 15,000 a year | WordPress sites and WooCommerce shops |
| VPS Hosting | KES 2,000 a month | Custom software and full server control |
Can you pay for web hosting with M-Pesa?
Yes. Checkout is in Kenyan shillings and M-Pesa is one of the ways to pay, so you do not need a bank card to get a website online.
