01 / WHY BOTH

Two doors to one brand.

Kenyan businesses usually register one of the pair and forget the other.

Anyone can register the twin, for a competing business, a copycat, or worse, an email domain that looks like yours to your own customers.

Registering both is one of the cheapest pieces of brand protection available.

A taken domain shows its registrar: where the renewal relationship lives
An expiry date inside 60 days is a renewal risk worth acting on today

"Appears available" is a public observation from DNS and the registry, not a reservation. Availability and price are confirmed at the registrar's checkout. The name searched and what was found are kept; nothing about you is.

02 / WHO DOES WHAT

Registration happens at HOSTAFRICA.

If a name is available, registration, billing, renewal and support happen at HOSTAFRICA through its official panel, not on this site. Wycliffe, who operates Onduu, is also Managing Director of HOSTAFRICA Kenya.

Already own the domain? The next question is whether its records protect you. Run the free Email Health check.

03 / THE WIRING

Public records, compared against each other.

Search a domain you already own and the report below the result reads the public DNS and registry records that decide whether your website and email work reliably. DNS failures rarely look like DNS failures — they look like a website that works in the office but not for a customer, or email that vanishes after a hosting move. The causes are visible in public records long before they cost an enquiry.

Nameservers: how many answer, and whether one provider carries everything
Delegation: registry record and live answers, compared
SOA: the zone’s own housekeeping record, present and sensible
Addresses: the bare domain and www both reaching a server
Mail routing: whether MX records exist (depth lives in the email check)
DNSSEC: adopted, absent, or broken mid-move

One vantage point, resolved recursively. This is not a propagation checker, DNSSEC is detected rather than validated, and a coherent result is not proof the domain or the business behind it is secure. Deeper testing of authoritative servers requires the owner’s written permission and is out of scope here.
