Having a website or blog has become a prerequisite for many Kenyan companies. In deed if you do not have a web page where you can communicate with your customers you are losing a lot of business. It is not just businesses but individuals too. Many people have discovered that having a weblog where you share your expertise can be a welcome addition to your CV. In fact many students use this as a way to market their skills just before they leave campus. Many are thus glad to discover that it is the employers chasing them and not the other way round.
For businesses, having a Gmail, Yahoo or one of those free email services just shows how unprofessional your business is. You are better off getting a server hosting account in Kenya where you can host your emails and have a professional email account. In technical terms it is called email hosting. Hostbora, a leading web hosting company in Kenya offers unlimited email accounts when you sign up for any plan. This is a good opportunity to ensure that all your employees have an employee@yourcompanyaddress.com email account. It is not only professional but also markets your business free.
When looking for server hosting in Kenya, there are many things you should consider. Top of them is choosing a company that has good customer support. Web hosting is technical and when you are caught up in the thick of the mud you need someone who can pick up your call and solve your problem. If such a company offers chat then it is a better way to get support. Another thing you should consider is uptime. Many companies advertise 99.9% uptime but very few keep their word. I have personally monitored Hostbora web servers and they deliver as advertised on their website. You should also check whether the price of web hosting meets the standard of service offered. You should always get value for your money.
The reason why I have chosen to write about Hostbora services is partly due to their great hosting packages and partly due to their unbeatable domain registration services. For only Ksh. 1005 you get a TLD that comes with free ID protection. That is free privacy from all those prying eyes, spammers and identity thieves. You will be able to sleep soundly knowing that your personal information on the web is protected. Other domain registration companies charge you over Ksh. 620 for such a service.
Other web services that you can get from Hostbora at unbeatable prices are SSL certificates. Recently Google announced that it would consider SSL certificates as one of the factors affecting their SERPs. This means it is a good SEO practice to have one. You will also be protecting your web users from hackers and other black hats that target poorly built websites. You can also purchase SiteLock to further secure your site and improve its standards of safety.
There are many web hosting companies in Kenya but I have selected this one among the many due to the quality of service I have experienced with them. I am a very satisfied customer and would gladly give them 5/5 stars.
