How to Register a .co.ke Domain in Kenya

Registering a .co.ke domain takes 15–30 minutes and costs KES 1,000–3,500 per year through a KENIC-accredited registrar. You need a Kenyan business or individual to qualify — no company registration is required for most .co.ke registrations.

Step-by-Step: Register Your .co.ke Domain

Choose a KENIC-accredited registrar such as Naipeak, Truehost, or Kenya Website Experts. Search for your preferred domain name, confirm availability, and complete checkout.

Provide your name, email, phone number, and physical address. Payment is accepted via M-Pesa, card, or bank transfer depending on the registrar.

.co.ke vs .com — Which Domain Should You Register?

.co.ke signals local Kenyan presence and is recommended for businesses targeting Kenyan customers. Google treats .co.ke as a country-code TLD (ccTLD) and gives it a geolocation signal for Kenya.

Register both .co.ke and .com if your business targets regional or international markets. Redirect the secondary domain to the primary.
