About 8host Kenya
Empowering Kenyan businesses to succeed online since 2015. We're more than just a hosting provider - we're your digital partners 🇰🇪
Our Story
8host was born from a simple observation: Kenyan businesses needed reliable, affordable web hosting solutions designed specifically for the local market. In 2015, our founder James Mwangi recognized this gap and set out to change the hosting landscape in Kenya.
Starting with just a handful of servers in Nairobi, we've grown to become Kenya's most trusted hosting provider, serving over 10,000 customers across East Africa. Our success isn't measured just in numbers, but in the countless businesses we've helped establish their online presence.
Today, we continue to innovate and expand our services while maintaining our core commitment: providing exceptional hosting solutions that help Kenyan entrepreneurs and businesses thrive in the digital economy.
