ONDUU / FREE TOOL
Is your business name protected in both .co.ke and .ke?
Search a name and this checks the .co.ke and .ke pair together — because owning one without the other leaves the door open for someone else. Taken domains show their registrar, transfer lock and expiry from public records.
Checks the .co.ke and .ke pair together. Public records only; nothing you search is stored.
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
- Transfer lock off means the domain can be moved with less friction — worth fixing
- An expiry date inside 60 days is a renewal risk worth acting on today
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. Onduu receives no commission on registrations; the outbound link carries attribution tags so routed demand can be measured, and clicks are counted here in aggregate only.
Already own the domain? The next question is whether its records protect you — run the free email security check.
