What is a .ke domain name registration?
A KE domain name is a unique name that identifies you or your company on the world wide web. A .co.ke domain name is a one-of-a-kind website address that you can purchase for your company through Movetech.
A .KE domain name takes the form, example.co.ke. After registering a domain name, you can use it for various purposes. For instance, you can have a website whose address would be www.movetech.co.ke. You can also get email addresses at this domain. You choose what email addresses you would like. For instance, it can be info@example.co.ke,me@example.co.ke, sales@example.co.ke and so on.
Why should I register my dot co.ke domain name?
You may have a domain name in another extension for instance dot .com. If you are transacting business in Kenya, it would be advisable to register your dot co.ke company’s name or brand name to prevent any other person or organization registering it. This registration prevents another entity masquerading on the web as the genuine article and situations whereby you would have to buy the domain name probably for an exorbitant price.
