Find Your Perfect Domain Name — From $14.99/Year

A domain name is your website's address on the internet — like tayohost.com. Without a domain name, your business has no permanent online address. Customers cannot find you through Google, you cannot have a professional email address, and your website cannot exist independently. A domain name is the first step to any online presence, whether that is a website, a WooCommerce store, or a professional email address.

Search for your desired domain name using the search box above. If it is available, add it to your cart and complete checkout using M-Pesa, Airtel Money, MTN MoMo, Visa, Mastercard, or PayPal. Your domain is registered immediately after payment. You can then point it to your Tayo Host hosting, or manage its DNS settings from your control panel.

Yes. Tayo Host accepts M-Pesa, Airtel Money, MTN MoMo, Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal for all domain registrations. Payments are processed through PesaPal. You can also pay by direct bank transfer or cash if you are in Nairobi.

.com is the most trusted and recognised domain extension worldwide — it is the first choice for any business that wants to appear professional and established. If your preferred .com is taken, .org works well for NGOs and organisations, .net for technology businesses, and .co.uk or .uk if you serve UK-based customers. Extensions like .xyz and .online are affordable alternatives if you are just starting out.

When your domain expires, it first enters a grace period during which you can renew it at the standard renewal price. After that, it may enter a redemption period with higher recovery fees. If you do not renew, the domain is eventually released and anyone can register it. Tayo Host sends renewal reminders by email before expiry. We recommend setting up auto-renewal in your control panel to avoid accidental expiry.

Yes. Most domain extensions support transfers between registrars. To transfer, unlock your domain at your current registrar, get the EPP or authorisation code, and initiate a transfer through your Tayo Host control panel. Transfers typically add one year to your domain's registration. WhatsApp our team if you need help with the process.

Your domain name affects SEO indirectly. A short, memorable, keyword-relevant domain builds trust with visitors — and trusted sites get more clicks, which signals quality to Google. The domain extension itself is not a direct ranking factor, but .com carries more inherent trust with users and is more likely to be clicked in search results. Registering your domain for multiple years also signals stability to search engines.

Yes. Your domain and hosting can be with different companies — you simply point your domain DNS records to your hosting provider. However, having both with Tayo Host simplifies management: your domain, hosting, and email are all in one control panel, DNS changes are instant, and our WhatsApp support team can help with everything in one conversation.
