What we show for other providers is a general picture of typical industry practice as of Oct 2026. Their prices and inclusions change often and without notice, which is why the table stays general, so please check details with any provider directly before you buy.

Card or M-Pesa, your choice

Paystack's secure checkout page accepts Visa, Mastercard and M-Pesa. With M-Pesa, you type your number and confirm the prompt on your phone. Your account is then activated automatically, normally within minutes, with no bank transfer and no request to "send proof of payment."

See prices in dollars or KSh

We set our prices in Kenyan Shillings. This site displays them in US dollars, and a switch shows them in KSh instead. The charge is made in Kenyan shillings, and for a card issued outside Kenya your bank converts it.

A real team in Nairobi

Live chat, email and tickets are all answered by our support team in Nairobi, working on East African time (UTC+3).

Speed from LiteSpeed

Pairing LiteSpeed Web Server with the LiteSpeed Cache plugin gives PHP and WordPress sites a measurable speed advantage over a standard Apache or Nginx setup, above all for WooCommerce.

Thinking of changing hosts?

Plenty of established hosts look after their customers well. SiteBoma's differences show up in daily use: card or M-Pesa checkout on Paystack's secure checkout page with automatic activation, normally within minutes; every plan on LiteSpeed servers; built-in dashboard tools such as a file manager, phpMyAdmin and one-click control panel login; live chat with a team in Nairobi; and a 7-day money-back guarantee. Prefer that mix? We will migrate you free of charge.

First order a plan, then ask for a free migration by live chat or ticket. We copy over your files, databases and email and check that everything works on our servers. Only after that do you point your domain at us, so the site never goes offline. Most moves are finished within 24 hours.

No. Visitors keep reaching your site on your old host while we copy it to SiteBoma and test it. The domain is switched to us only once you have confirmed all is well, so nobody sees an outage.

Yes. Ask your registrar to unlock the domain and give you the EPP/auth code, then start the transfer at siteboma.com/domains. Moving a .co.ke costs $9.23 and adds a year to the registration. Your site carries on running while the transfer completes.

Give SiteBoma 7 days, risk-free

If we turn out no faster, cheaper or simpler than your current host, ask for your money back and we refund you in full, no questions.
