Why resell domains
If you build websites, you are already buying domains for clients — usually at retail, on their card, from whichever registrar came up first. That is a job you do for free and a renewal you have no control over.
Reselling changes both. You register at reseller rates, charge your own price, and keep every client’s domain in one account you control. When a renewal is due you know about it, rather than finding out when the site goes down.
What you can register
- .co.ke, .ke, .or.ke and the rest of the Kenyan namespace
- .com, .net, .org and the common international extensions
- More than 60 extensions in total, the same range we sell retail
Every domain comes with full DNS control, so you can point it at our hosting or anywhere else your client already is.
Who it suits
Web designers and agencies You register a domain for nearly every project. Doing it at reseller rates turns a cost into a margin.
Hosting resellers If you already resell hosting, domains are the obvious thing to add — most clients want both from the same place.
IT providers Managing domains for business clients alongside their other services, without chasing logins at four different registrars.

Frequently asked questions
How do I join the domain reseller programme?
Create a Hostsawa account, then open a ticket asking for it to be activated as a domain reseller. It is free to join, with no monthly fee.
Is there a WHMCS module?
Yes, and it is free. Once your account is activated, the reseller dashboard in the client area offers our WHMCS registrar module as a download. Install it in your own WHMCS and your clients order domains from you directly.
How do I pay for domains?
From a prepaid balance on your reseller account. Top it up, and registrations and renewals come out of it instantly — no card transaction for every domain.
Which extensions can I resell?
The same range we sell retail — .co.ke, .ke, .or.ke, .com, .net, .org and more than 60 others. The current retail prices are listed on our domain registration page.
Do I have to resell hosting too?
No. Domain reselling stands on its own, though most of our resellers do both because clients usually want them together.
Who supports my clients?
You do — your clients deal with you, which is the point of reselling. Our team supports you behind the scenes, including anything the registries throw up.
Can I move domains I already manage?
Yes. Transfers keep whatever registration time is left, so you lose nothing by consolidating your clients’ domains into one account.
