HostAfrica Strengthens East African Presence with New Name, HOSTAFRICA EAC LIMITED

On this page

To position HostAfrica as a top web hosting provider in Africa, it has changed its name in East Africa. Before, HostAfrica operated as EAC Directory Limited in Kenya after making strategic acquisitions. Now, HOSTAFRICA EAC LIMITED. The move demonstrates its commitment to growth and excellent service in the region. The company's KRA PIN (P051180311A) remains unchanged, ensuring continuity for valued clients.

A Strategic Move for Continued Growth

This update supports HostAfrica's goal to become the top African web hosting leader. HostAfrica expanded into Ghana, Nigeria, and now East Africa, with a flagship in Kenya. It has emerged as a major player in the African hosting market, with a solid foundation in South Africa. Strategic acquisitions have been instrumental in achieving a consolidated digital service landscape.

A Seamless Transition with Unwavering Customer Focus

While the company name evolves, HostAfrica's commitment to its clients remains firm. Here's what remains unchanged:

  • Mpesa Paybill numbers (890500)
  • Email address (support@hostafrica.com)
  • Phone number (+254 709 399 000)
  • Website (hostafrica.ke)

Minor adjustments made to reflect the new company name are as follows:

  • Bank: Standard Chartered Bank
  • Account name: HOSTAFRICA EAC LIMITED

The account number will remain the same to ensure a smooth transition.
