Do you know you can host your website in Kenya for free? In 2020 there are several web hosting companies which offer free hosting services for new blogs. If you don’t have a budget for hosting, you can host for free and opt for the premium packages when the free one expires.
Here are companies offering free web hosting in Kenya:
——Truehost

Truehost is among three most popular web hosting companies in Kenya. It’s not only available in Kenya, but also in Nigeria and South Africa. One of the available packages is the free hosting service which lasts for one month.
The Bronze Plan is the one with a free offer and it comes with the following features:
- Traffic of up to 500 per month
- One-month free hosting offer
- Hosting for one website only
- 1GB Cloud Storage capacity
- 1GB Bandwidth per month

I don’t see why you will not choose the free plan when your domain name is new. After the offer expires, upgrade to the Silver Hosting plan that costs Ksh1,499 per year.

One advantage of free hosting is that you are provided with free resources. During this period, you’ll be able to save enough to buy the premium services when the free account expires.
The only disadvantage is that the resources are very limited. If your site exceeds the resources allocated, you’ll be forced to upgrade to a premium account.
