.ke Domain Registrations

The .ke domain extension is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Kenya, managed by KENIC — the Kenya Network Information Centre. In operation since 1993, .ke serves as the national web identity for Kenyan businesses, government agencies, NGOs, financial institutions, and individuals. Kenya is East Africa's leading economy and home to one of the continent's most celebrated technology ecosystems — Nairobi's "Silicon Savannah" has produced globally recognised fintech, agritech, and mobile money innovations, most famously M-Pesa. A .ke domain is instantly recognised by Kenyan internet users as a trusted local web address, lending credibility and relevance that foreign domains cannot replicate. The .ke extension is also increasingly well-known internationally thanks to Kenya's prominence in the global tech and development community. It is open to all registrants worldwide with no restrictions.
