Web hosting is one of the most reliable online businesses you can start in Kenya — recurring revenue, growing demand, and low startup cost. Here’s how to start a web hosting business in Kenya using reseller hosting.
What is a reseller hosting business?
Reseller hosting lets you buy hosting resources in bulk and sell them to your own clients under your own brand. You set the prices, keep the profit, and manage everything through the WHM control panel — while the underlying servers and infrastructure are handled for you.
Why hosting is a good business in Kenya
- Recurring income: Clients pay monthly or annually, giving you predictable revenue.
- Growing market: More Kenyan businesses are going online every year.
- Low startup cost: No need to buy servers — start with a reseller plan.
- Natural add-ons: Sell domains, SSL, email and web design alongside hosting.
Steps to start
- Get a reseller plan. Choose an Amocsoft reseller hosting package with WHM.
- Brand it. Set your own company name, nameservers and pricing.
- Create packages. Build hosting plans for your target customers.
- Sell & support. Market your plans, onboard clients, and grow.
What you can sell
Beyond hosting, offer .co.ke domains, SSL certificates, business email, and even website design — becoming a one-stop shop for Kenyan businesses going online.
