  1. Registering a business name may be the most ideal starting point (other guide will advise on registering a limited company, don’t waste your limited seed capital on these).
  2. Obtain a payment platform;   you may go for MPESA Till number that did not exist in the yester years. Obtain it will be one of the best free resource as your start out.
  3. Come up with a simple website, may be 5 pages (Home, Services, Portfolio, Pricing Contact) or Have a Top Web Design firm design it for you, may be Truehost Kenya or Kenya Web Experts.
  4. Purchase a simple reseller package. Reseller package allows you to pay a small fee every month or annually for a space that you can host multiple domain on. Simple reseller packages could hold around 30 or so domains.

Truehost Kenya Reseller package goes for Ksh. 2,000 per month or Ksh. 20, 000 per year (4k discount). Kenya Web Expert’s goes for Ksh. 1500 or Ksh. 18000 per year. Both companies allow you to host up to 45 domains.

Quick math, host the 45 domains as per your package @ market price of 2000 for domain and hosting you get Ksh. 90,000 this could be in weeks, a month or a year depending on how committed you are. Then upgrade to the next reseller hosting package.

  1. With enough skills or resources, you may consider integrating the Till number to your domain and hosting ordering service (WHMCS) as provided by your reseller company. Truehost offers you free licensed WHMCS.
  2. Project your figures to see how much you can make, a lot of companies including but not limited to Truehost Kenya and Kenya Web Experts are making more than 45 domains in a week.

Others have made it why not you, you are equally capable, take a phone and call Truehost Kenya or Kenya Web Experts and the rest is history as the say.
