Kenya Webhosting continues with its intention of providing the best webhosting in Kenya by introducing online payments using the newly launched I&M Bank Merchant Service.  The online payment solution provided by I&M Bank, in association with Iveri, puts Kenya Webhosting head and shoulders above any other web host in Kenya in adopting the very latest in trust-worthy payment systems.  Not only does this facilitate payment by clients in any part of Kenya but also puts Kenya Webhosting on a truly international footing by being able to accept online payments from anywhere in the World directly into our I&M Bank business account right here in Kenya.

This is the latest in a number of payment options for the clients of Kenya Webhosting that already include several online payment methods, as well as a number of offline payment methods, not least directly into the Kenya Webhosting Safaricom Pay Bill account.

Apart from this news things continue apace for Kenya Webhosting... we have recemtly saved a very well known events marketing company from destruction after their host was unable to help them with a problem.  It turned out the the 'hosting' company had simply 'jumped on the bandwagon' but did not know the first thing about web hosting in Kenya.

We would like to take this opportunity to warn people about inexperienced webhosts.  They may promise the Earth at very little cost but please be guided by the old addage 'if it seems too good to be true, it probably is'.

Things to look out for include MASSIVE webspace and bandwidth with unlimited email accounts and databases for very little money.  We have recently seen packages offering unlimited webspace for KSh500/year!  This is completely unprofessional as well as unsustainable.  Another saying to bear in mind here is 'buy in haste, repent at leisure', not to mention 'you get what you pay for'.

We hope that 2010 brings Kenya closer to true ecommerce and would like to do everything we can to help that happen.  These are truly exciting times for Kenyan ecommerce and by leading by example with the I&M Bank online payment service we are surely putting our money where our mouth is.
