Official .ke Country Code Registry
What is KENIC?
KENIC — the Kenya Network Information Centre — is the official authority responsible for administering Kenya's country code top-level domain, .ke. Established in 1995 and operating under the Communications Authority of Kenya, KENIC manages the .ke namespace and accredits registrars who can legally sell and manage .ke domains.
A .ke domain is the most trusted online identity for Kenyan businesses, organisations and individuals. It signals local presence, builds trust with Kenyan audiences, and ranks better in Google.co.ke search results. Only KENIC-accredited registrars like HostGuru can register and manage .ke domains on your behalf.
⚠ Important: Only purchase .ke domains from KENIC-accredited registrars. HostGuru is officially accredited — your domain is always safe, transferable and legally registered.
