Most established bloggers prefer to buy domains and hosting space from giant companies like Bluehost.I am one of them who prefer international companies than local companies when it comes to .com domains. One of the best companies to buy .com domain names is Bluehost.
Bluehost sells a .com domain name at Ksh 1,100.To buy the domain name,follow this link:
After buying the domain name, go ahead and pay for hosting,it will cost you at least Ksh4,200 to host a site for one year.
Remember that you are required to renew your domain name once it expires. Normally, domain names expire after one year, the hosting company you bought from will send you an email informing you of the expiry status. If you don’t renew, the domain will be parked and eventually sold to someone else.
