No Hidden Fees
Every Domain Comes Fully Loaded
Other registrars charge extra for privacy protection, DNS control and forwarding. At HostGuru, everything below is included in the standard domain price — always.
Domain Theft Protection
Registrar Lock
Your domain is locked by default — no one can transfer it away from your account without your explicit approval. Powered by the WHMCS Registrar Lock system, theft protection activates the moment your domain goes live and can be toggled from your client area in one click.
Included FREE with every domain
Free WHOIS Privacy Protection
ID Shield
Your personal name, address, phone number and email are replaced with HostGuru's privacy details in the public WHOIS database — shielding you from domain spammers, cold-callers and data scrapers. Includes free WHOIS privacy for .com, .net, .org and other gTLDs. (.co.ke domains have privacy built into KENIC's registry.)
Included FREE with every domain
Domain Locking & Unlocking
Transfer Guard
Lock or unlock your domain for transfer in seconds from your WHMCS client area. Need to move to another registrar? Unlock, grab your EPP auth code, and transfer — all self-service, no support ticket required. Re-locking takes one click after the transfer is complete.
Included FREE with every domain
Full DNS Management
Powered by cPanel & WHMCS
Manage every DNS record type from your WHMCS client area — A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, CAA, PTR. Set SPF, DKIM and DMARC records to authenticate your business email. Changes propagate globally in minutes. No limits on the number of DNS records. No extra fees.
Included FREE with every domain
Custom Nameservers
Point Anywhere
Point your domain to any hosting provider worldwide by changing your nameservers. Use HostGuru's nameservers for seamless integration with your hosting account, or point to Cloudflare, AWS Route 53, or any third-party DNS provider — fully supported, no restrictions.
Included FREE with every domain
DNS Zone Editor
Powered by cPanel
If your domain is connected to HostGuru hosting, the cPanel Zone Editor gives you a visual interface to manage all DNS records in one place. Add subdomains, configure mail servers, verify your Google Search Console ownership via TXT record — all without touching a command line.
Included FREE with every domain
Domain Forwarding (URL Redirect)
Web Redirect
Redirect your domain (or any subdomain) to another URL — a Facebook page, a WhatsApp link, a landing page builder, or another website entirely. Choose between 301 (permanent) and 302 (temporary) redirects. Configure forwarding from your WHMCS client area in under 30 seconds.
Included FREE with every domain
Free Email Forwarding
Catch-All & Alias
Forward any email address at your domain (e.g. hello@yourbusiness.co.ke) to any Gmail, Yahoo, or existing inbox — completely free, before you set up full business email hosting. Set up catch-all forwarding so no email sent to your domain ever bounces. Managed from your WHMCS client area.
Included FREE with every domain
Renewal Reminder Alerts
Never Let It Expire
WHMCS automatically sends renewal reminder emails at 60 days, 30 days, 14 days and 7 days before your domain expires. Enable Auto-Renew from your client area to renew automatically via your saved M-Pesa or card details — zero risk of accidentally losing your domain name.
Included FREE with every domain
Easy-to-Use Control Panel
Powered by WHMCS
Manage all your domains from one clean, mobile-friendly dashboard — the WHMCS client area. View expiry dates, renew, change nameservers, enable WHOIS privacy, lock or unlock the domain, update WHOIS contact details, and generate EPP transfer codes. No technical knowledge needed.
Included FREE with every domain
Free WHOIS Contact Updates
Keep Your Info Current
Update your domain's registrant name, organisation, address, phone and email at any time from the WHMCS client area — at no charge. Keeping WHOIS contacts current is required by ICANN policy. Many registrars charge for contact updates; at HostGuru it is always free.
Included FREE with every domain
EPP / Auth Code Generation
Transfer Out Anytime
You are never locked in. Generate your EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) authorisation code from the WHMCS client area instantly — no need to raise a support ticket. Use it to transfer your domain to any registrar, any time. HostGuru believes domains belong to you.
Included FREE with every domain
WHMCS Client Area
Your domain management hub
WHMCS is the world's leading web hosting automation platform. Every domain you buy at HostGuru is managed through the WHMCS client area — a clean, mobile-friendly dashboard that puts all your domain controls at your fingertips.
- View all your domains & expiry dates in one place
- Renew domains with a single click — pay via M-Pesa

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. WHOIS privacy protection is included in your standard domain registration price with no separate renewal fee. You pay once — your domain price — and all features including WHOIS privacy are included for the lifetime of that domain registration at HostGuru.
Log in to your HostGuru client area at the portal URL. Under "My Domains" you will see all your registered domains. Click "Manage" next to any domain to access the full management panel — nameservers, DNS, WHOIS privacy, locking, forwarding and contact updates are all on one screen.
Yes. Domain forwarding (URL redirect) lets you point yourdomain.co.ke to any URL — including a WhatsApp link (wa.me/254...), a Facebook business page, an Instagram profile, or any other web address. You can set this up from the domain management panel in your WHMCS client area.
From your WHMCS client area, navigate to your domain and select "Email Forwarding". Enter the email address prefix you want (e.g. hello, info, sales) and the destination inbox (e.g. your Gmail). Any email sent to hello@yourdomain.co.ke will be forwarded instantly. You can add unlimited forwarding rules.
An EPP code (also called an auth code or transfer code) is a password used to authorise a domain transfer to another registrar. You only need it if you decide to move your domain away from HostGuru. Generate it instantly from the "Manage Domain" page in your client area — no need to contact support.
Enable Auto-Renew from your domain management page. WHMCS will automatically renew your domain before expiry using your saved payment method (M-Pesa, Visa, etc.). You also receive renewal reminder emails at 60, 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry as a backup safety net.
Yes. You can use HostGuru's nameservers for DNS management even if your website is hosted with a different provider. Simply point your domain to HostGuru's nameservers, then manage all your DNS records (A, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.) from your WHMCS client area. Your website host doesn't need to change.
