The situation

What do Government & County need from a website?

Citizens expect to find public information online: services and how to access them, tenders, job adverts, budgets, bills and public participation notices. A public body that publishes these clearly saves residents a trip to the office and makes its work easier to follow.

County economies differ widely. The KNBS Gross County Product 2025 report puts the combined output of Kenya's 47 counties at about KSh 14.97 trillion in 2024, and the CRA County Fact Sheets list agriculture, forestry and fishing as the leading activity in 45 of them. Each county and agency needs a site that reflects the services its own residents rely on.

We host websites for public bodies with a free SSL certificate on every plan, document libraries for notices and reports, and email on your own domain. Corporate Hosting adds daily backups, and support is available 24/7 in English and Swahili.

Common problems

What usually goes wrong?

Notices do not reach residents

Public participation dates, tenders and job adverts posted only on physical notice boards miss most of the people they are meant for.

Documents are hard to find

Budgets, bills and reports sit in scattered folders and email threads instead of one place citizens can search.

Unofficial email undermines trust

Officers using personal mailboxes make it hard for suppliers and residents to know a message is genuine.

Questions

Government & County: questions answered

Can you host a .go.ke website?
Yes. A .go.ke domain is issued to government bodies through the official registration process, and once you have it we can host the website and email on it. If your body already has the domain elsewhere, it can be pointed to your hosting account.
What should a county department publish?
Start with services and how to access them, office contacts, public participation notices, tenders, vacancies, budgets and plans. Kenya's Access to Information Act 2016 expects public bodies to publish key information, so a well-organised website helps you meet that duty.
Which plan suits a public agency?
A small board or department can start on shared hosting. A county or agency with many departments, large document libraries and frequent updates is better on Corporate Hosting, which includes daily backups, or a VPS.
Can we receive invoices in the agency's name?
Yes. Invoices are issued in the name on the account. Plans are priced in shillings and can be paid yearly; contact us if your procurement process needs a quotation first.
How is the site kept secure?
Every plan includes a free SSL certificate. Keep the website software and plugins updated, limit editor accounts, and use strong passwords. Corporate Hosting's daily backups let you restore quickly if something goes wrong.
Is support available outside office hours?
Yes. Support is available 24/7 in English and Swahili for hosting, email and domain issues.
