Step 1 — Go to the Free Hosting Page
Visit braysons.co.ke/free-hosting and click Get Free Hosting.
Step 2 — Create Your Account
Fill in the registration form:
- Full Name — your real name (used for account verification)
- Email Address — use an active email you check regularly
- Phone Number — a valid Kenyan number (for WhatsApp support)
- Password — minimum 8 characters, mix of letters and numbers
Click Create Account.
Step 3 — Verify Your Email
Check your inbox for a verification email from Braysons Host. Click the Verify Email button. Check your spam folder if it does not arrive within 5 minutes.
Step 4 — Choose Your Subdomain or Domain
After verification, you will be prompted to:
- Use a free subdomain: e.g.,
yourbusiness.braysons.co.ke(instant, no cost) - Add your own domain: e.g.,
yourbusiness.co.ke(requires domain registration — see our .co.ke guide)
Step 5 — Access Your cPanel
Your cPanel login details will be emailed to you. Log in at:
https://server1.braysons.co.ke:2083Step 6 — Upload Your Website
Use File Manager → public_html to upload your website files, or install WordPress via Softaculous for a full CMS.
Upgrading from Free to Paid
When your business grows, upgrade to a paid plan from your client portal under Services → Upgrade. Your files, databases, and emails are preserved — no migration needed.
Free Hosting Limitations
- No dedicated IP address
- Resources are shared (suitable for low-traffic sites)
- No phone support (WhatsApp and ticket support only)
- Ads are not displayed on your site — it is clean hosting
Tip: The free plan is ideal for testing, portfolios, and early-stage businesses. Upgrade to Starter or Business plan when you expect more than 500 visitors/day.
