Websites and hosting for Digital Agencies in Kenya

Host every client site in one place and bill in shillings.

The situation

What do Digital Agencies need from a website?

An agency that builds websites also ends up looking after them: hosting, domains, email, SSL and renewals for every client. Spreading those across several providers makes renewals easy to miss and support slow. Keeping client sites in one place, billed in shillings, is simpler for the agency and more reliable for clients.

Many Kenyan businesses still have no web presence. The KNBS 2016 MSME survey found that 56.5 per cent of small businesses did not advertise, and only 2.8 per cent of licensed businesses used social media. The KNBS Economic Survey 2026 reported that information and communication grew 4.8 per cent in 2025. There is plenty of room for agencies helping businesses get online.

We offer reseller hosting for agencies that manage many client sites, alongside shared and Corporate Hosting, VPS servers and domain registration. Every hosting plan includes a free SSL certificate, billing is in shillings with M-Pesa, and support is available 24/7 in English and Swahili.

Common problems

What usually goes wrong?

Client sites everywhere

Sites built over the years sit on different hosts and accounts, and nobody remembers every login or renewal date.

Missed renewals

A client's domain or hosting lapses, the site goes down, and the agency takes the blame.

Dollar billing eats margins

Paying overseas providers in dollars while charging clients in shillings leaves the agency exposed to exchange rates.

Questions

Digital Agencies: questions answered

What is reseller hosting?
Reseller hosting gives an agency a pool of resources to divide into separate hosting accounts for each client. Each client site is kept apart, and the agency manages them all, setting its own prices for clients.
Can we white-label hosting for clients?
With reseller hosting you manage client accounts and bill clients yourself, so the relationship stays with your agency. Tell us how you plan to present hosting to clients and we can advise on the best setup.
Where should a large client's site go?
A busy e-commerce store or a site with heavy traffic is better on its own Corporate Hosting plan, which includes daily backups, or a VPS, rather than sharing reseller resources with smaller sites.
Are backups included for client sites?
Corporate Hosting is backed up daily. For sites on other plans you can add CodeGuard for daily backups. Agencies should agree with each client who is responsible for backups and put it in the contract.
Can we pay by M-Pesa?
Yes. Hosting, domains and servers are priced in shillings and can be paid by M-Pesa, which keeps your costs in the same currency you bill clients in.
What support do we get?
Support is available 24/7 in English and Swahili for hosting, domain and email issues, so your team can escalate client problems at any hour.
