We are always telling you how important it is to have a website in this day and age. But we have not told you what you need in order to have your website up and running. First, you need to have a domain for example; example.com or example.co.ke. This is your unique online identity.

Happy New Year! I hope it is looking up for you so far, though I think it is less likely since it is Njaanuary for those who overindulged over the holiday-Am I right? Looking back however, what was your favorite crisis in 2017?

We are all business people right? In one way or another, we provide certain services or products. In that sense, I believe that we all know that it takes a lot to build a reputation and a customer base for your brand.

KENIC the domain registry in Kenya has introduced a grandfathering phase which is currently open and will run until 22nd Dec 2017.

All applications should be accompanied by business registration certificates as proof of ownership.   This is an opportunity not to be missed.

In this busy world, we have so many activities that we choose to engage in just to let go and relax our minds. I must admit my guilty pleasure is watching. I am a ‘watching junkie’- if there is such a thing. I watch a lot. From documentaries, movies, reality shows… name it.
