What is a .NET Domain?

.NET was created in 1985 alongside .com as one of the original top-level domains. While originally intended for network-related organisations such as internet service providers and infrastructure companies, .net is today used broadly by technology businesses, software companies, developer tools, and any organisation that wants a credible alternative to .com.

With over 13 million .net domains registered globally, it is the second most trusted generic TLD after .com. For Kenyan technology companies, ISPs, hosting providers, and telecommunications businesses, .net carries immediate industry recognition.

HostGuru registers .net domains instantly. There are no restrictions â€” any individual or business can register any available .net domain.

Who Should Register a .NET Domain?

Technology Companies

Software firms, IT service providers, and tech-focused businesses in Kenya and across Africa.

Internet Service Providers

ISPs and telecoms companies â€” the domain's original intended audience â€” still widely use .net.

Hosting and Cloud Firms

Web hosting, cloud computing, and data centre businesses commonly use .net to signal technical authority.

Developer Platforms

API providers, developer tools, open-source projects, and technical documentation sites.

Brand Protection

Businesses that own .com should consider registering .net to prevent competitors from claiming the same name.

Global Businesses

Kenyan companies expanding regionally or globally that want a recognised global TLD alongside or instead of .com.
