Hosting and a .co.ke domain, registered in your name.
Haryes provides managed hosting tuned for Kenyan audiences and registers .co.ke domains through KeNIC in your business's name. Hosting includes edge caching, daily backups, SSL and monitoring, so the performance work done at build time is not lost to a slow server.
A fast site on a slow server is still slow.
The performance work done at build time is lost if the site sits on an overloaded server far from your visitors. And the domain is the one asset you cannot afford to lose.
These are the problems we are usually asked to fix.
- A domain registered in the previous developer's name.
- Cheap shared hosting that slows the site down.
- No working backup when something goes wrong.

Questions clients ask before they commit
Who should own my domain?
Your business. A common and damaging pattern in this market is a developer registering the domain in their own name, which holds the website hostage in any dispute.
Can you move my domain away from my old developer?
Yes. We help move the domain, hosting and code into accounts you control, even for sites we did not build.
Is hosting the same as maintenance?
No. Hosting keeps the server running. Maintenance is the work of keeping the site secure, updated and fast. They are separate costs.
Get your accounts in order
You need hosting and a domain for a new site.
