For associations, welfare groups & clubs Association email hosting in Kenya

Email that stays with the group, not the office holder.

Every AGM brings a new chair, secretary and treasurer, and too often the group's email leaves with the old ones. Put chair@, secretary@ and treasurer@ on your own domain and hand them over with the minutes book.

Why it matters

Officials change every year. The group's records should not.

Minutes, contribution records, bank letters and member lists pass through email. When the secretary uses a personal Gmail, the next committee starts from nothing. Role addresses on your own domain carry the history from one term to the next.

Handover in one step

After elections, change the passwords on chair@, secretary@ and treasurer@ and give them to the new officials. Every past email is still there.

Contributions in the open

Send M-Pesa statements and treasurer's reports from treasurer@ to every member. A shared record is the best answer to "where did the money go?"

Members know it is really you

Notices and contribution requests from your own domain are harder to fake than a message from a free webmail address.

What's included

Everything a member body needs to communicate officially

One package, one yearly invoice of KES 3,000 plus VAT. No per-user fees, however many people you add.

Free .co.ke, .or.ke, .sc.ke or .ac.ke domain

Your association's own name online, renewed with the package so it never lapses by accident.

Unlimited official mailboxes

chair@, secretary@, treasurer@ and one for every committee and official. No per-user fees, so adding a committee never changes the price.

20 GB of storage

Shared by every mailbox and your website. Plenty for a busy association that keeps its inboxes tidy.

Email set up for you

Send us your list of offices and people. We create the mailboxes and help connect them on phones and Outlook.

24/7 support

New secretary locked out the night before the AGM? Support answers around the clock, in English and Swahili.

Free SSL and room for a website

Publish your constitution, notices, minutes and membership form on a secure site at the same address.

Estimate

Will 20 GB be enough for your association?

Mailboxes are unlimited, so storage is the number to watch. Move the slider to your headcount and pick how much mail each person keeps.

Estimates only. We reserve 1 GB for a website. Clearing old attachments once a year stretches the space a long way.

Questions

Association email, answered

Can our group get an .or.ke domain?
Yes, if it is a registered non-profit. KENIC, which runs .ke domains, asks for proof of not-for-profit status, such as your registration certificate, before the name goes live. We send the document for you. An .or.ke domain is free with the package.
What exactly does KES 3,000 a year include?
A free .co.ke, .or.ke, .sc.ke or .ac.ke domain, unlimited email accounts on it, 20 GB of storage shared by the mailboxes and a website, free SSL, setup of your mailboxes by our team, and 24/7 support. Prices exclude 16% VAT, so the yearly invoice is KES 3,480.
How do we hand email over after elections?
Use role addresses such as chair@ and secretary@ rather than personal names. After the AGM, whoever holds the admin login changes the passwords and gives them to the new officials. Every past message stays in the mailbox.
Can every member have an address?
You can, but most groups keep the domain for officials and committees. The 20 GB of storage is shared, so hundreds of member mailboxes would fill it quickly. Talk to us if you need a bigger plan.
Do we need to be registered first?
For an .or.ke domain, yes. Associations register under the Societies Act, and self-help and community groups register with the county social development office. A group that is not yet registered can start on .co.ke.
We already use a Gmail address. What happens to it?
Keep it running while you move over. Announce the new address at your next meeting, update the bank and M-Pesa contacts, and set an auto-reply on the old one. Our support team can walk you through each step.
Will it work on officials' phones?
Yes. Every mailbox works in webmail from any browser and in the mail apps on Android and iPhone, and in Outlook. We help connect devices as part of setup.
Can we put a website on the same package?
Yes. The package is a full hosting account with free SSL, so a website with your constitution, notices and membership form can run on the same domain.
Same package

One package for every Kenyan institution

The price and what is included are the same for every institution. Each page explains how it fits that kind of organisation.
