Websites for businesses in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Bahir Dar and across Ethiopia, with free SSL and daily backups on every plan, from a team in Nairobi on the same time zone as you. Plans start at KSh 80$0.62/month.
Plans & Pricing Start a live chatEthiopian businesses that want to reach buyers abroad, or simply look established at home, run into the same few problems: a site built years ago that nobody can log in to, email on a free address, and a certificate warning that tells every visitor the site is not secure.
Every SiteBoma plan fixes those basics: a control panel with your own login, a backup every day that you can restore yourself, an SSL certificate that renews on its own and mailboxes on your own domain. Our hosting server is in the United Kingdom, and our team works from Nairobi.
Addis Ababa and Nairobi keep the same time, so a question you send at ten in the morning reaches someone at their desk. We answer in English; we do not staff Amharic, and we would rather you know that before you write.
Coffee, flower, leather and textile firms that need foreign buyers to find a credible site and email.
Lodges and tours in Lalibela, Gondar and the Simien Mountains whose guests book from abroad.
Firms in Addis Ababa bidding for work with international organisations.
Organisations that publish reports for donors and need staff mailboxes.
Private schools and colleges publishing admissions and results.
People hosting client sites who want DirectAdmin, SSH and staging.
Your site is served from our hosting server in the United Kingdom. The people answering your live chat, email and tickets work in Nairobi, on East Africa Time.
You will not find a made-up latency number here. Instead, our live status page tests our website, the hosting server, mail, the payment gateway and the domain registry once a minute, and keeps the honest record, bad days included.
Good to know in Ethiopia
As well as .com, .org and 200+ other extensions, we can register the ones that belong to Ethiopia. Our team handles these country domains by hand, so they are not instant at checkout: allow one business day. The invoice comes first, and we confirm the domain once registration completes. Look at the renewal column before you decide, since some extensions cost more to renew than to register.
| Extension | Register | Renew | Transfer in | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .et | KSh 14,400$110.77/yr | KSh 14,400$110.77/yr | KSh 14,400$110.77/yr | Check |
Some .et names need Ethiopian business documents (a request letter, business licence, TIN and VAT certificate), and the registry does not publish clear rules for applicants outside Ethiopia. Tell us the name you want on live chat and we will confirm what is needed before you pay.
These figures come straight from our live catalogue, so the price shown is the price charged. Still undecided? Our guide on picking a domain name works just as well beyond Kenya's borders.
Ways to pay
What we cannot accept, so checkout holds no surprises
M-Pesa at our checkout means Safaricom M-Pesa in Kenya and nothing else. telebirr and M-Pesa Ethiopia are not available at checkout: the M-Pesa we take is Safaricom's Kenyan service, a separate system from M-Pesa in Ethiopia. Better that you read it here than find out halfway through paying.
No VAT is added to our prices. Should your accountant need the invoice laid out a certain way for local bookkeeping, tell us and we will issue it in that format.
Let us know who hosts you now, which domain you use and roughly how large the site is. Live chat gets the quickest reply.
Your files, databases and mailboxes come over to our server and are tested there, while the old site carries on running.
A preview link lets you inspect the new copy. Your visitors see no change until you approve it.
Change the nameservers yourself, or let us do it when the domain is registered with us. Every paid plan includes the move free.
One team and one set of plans cover each of these:
