📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

KEKHost is a privately held web hosting provider operated by KEK Technology Inc., with business operations in the United States and Nigeria. The hosting division dates to 2000, while the company’s background extends to 1994, when founders Olatokunboh Kuti and Sade Edwards-Kuti began offering web design services. KEK Technology was formed in 1996, incorporated in Maryland in April 2000, and expanded into Nigeria in July 2000. Olatokunboh Kuti serves as CEO and President.

The company maintains a broad portfolio covering Linux shared hosting, Windows shared hosting, reseller hosting, public cloud servers, managed Kubernetes, hybrid cloud infrastructure, cloud storage, dedicated servers, domain registration, SSL certificates, email services, website development, and a website builder. Traditional VPS plans are effectively replaced by the more flexible Public Cloud platform, where customers can deploy virtual servers with adjustable resources and hourly billing.

Linux and Windows shared hosting are divided into six packages: YEEP, Mini-Starter, Starter, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Entry-level Linux hosting includes 5 GB of storage and 16 GB of monthly traffic, while the larger packages provide up to approximately 95 GB of storage with unmetered traffic. Windows hosting follows a similar package structure but carries higher prices because of Windows licensing and platform costs.

Shared hosting includes Plesk administration, email accounts, MySQL databases, FTP access, subdomains, webmail, WordPress installation, application installers, SSL certificates, daily backups, anti-spam protection, DDoS mitigation, and a responsive website builder. Annual payment is required, so the displayed monthly prices represent the equivalent monthly cost of a yearly subscription rather than a genuine month-to-month billing option.

Some storage quotas and package prices differ between individual plan information and comparison sections. Customers should confirm the exact quota, traffic allowance, renewal rate, and final invoice total before placing an order.

Private-label reseller hosting is available for both Linux and Windows. Resellers can create hosting packages, determine their own retail prices, divide resources between customers, and use their own business identity. KEKHost manages the physical servers, operating environment, security, and core hosting platform.

The NXT reseller package includes 140 GB of storage, 750 GB of traffic, and capacity for up to 45 hosting accounts. PLUS increases the allocation to 185 GB of storage, 950 GB of traffic, and 65 accounts. MAX provides 275 GB of storage, 1.5 TB of traffic, and up to 120 accounts. These packages include private branding, Plesk Hosting Administration, email and database management, FTP and DNS controls, application installation, a dedicated IP address, and one discounted domain registration during the first year.

The Public Cloud platform supports Linux and Windows virtual machines with root or administrator access, SSD storage, private networking, DDoS protection, scalable CPU and memory resources, and hourly billing. Entry configurations begin with two virtual CPUs and 3 GiB of memory, while larger instances are suitable for databases, enterprise applications, development platforms, and more demanding workloads.

Managed Kubernetes operates through infrastructure supplied by Leaseweb. KEKHost manages the Kubernetes control plane, platform monitoring, upgrades, and scaling, while customers pay for the compute, memory, storage, traffic, and IP resources consumed by their clusters.

The Kubernetes environment supports multiple clusters, namespaces, role-based access, private networking, load balancing, firewall controls, NGINX or Traefik ingress, Kubernetes Dashboard access, command-line management, and API administration. Control-plane backups are included, but application data, persistent volumes, and workloads running on worker nodes remain the customer’s responsibility.

Hybrid Cloud combines dedicated hardware, virtualization, cloud resources, and managed services. It suits organizations that need isolated physical servers for sensitive or intensive workloads while retaining cloud capacity for scaling, application delivery, development, or disaster recovery. Configuration and pricing are handled individually.

Cloud Storage is available as file, block, and object storage. Customers can select economical capacity storage, higher-performance SSD-backed storage, or object storage billed according to committed or on-demand capacity. The service includes redundancy, API access, encryption in transit, encryption at rest, and continuous technical assistance.

Dedicated hosting consists of the ServMid TM, ServMid TMT, ServMid TMX, Platinum NX, Platinum NXE, and Platinum NXX configurations. Processor options range from Intel Xeon E3 and E-series CPUs to an AMD EPYC 7313P system with 128 GB of memory. Storage configurations include mirrored SATA disks and SSD arrays, while larger packages also include cloud-backup capacity.

Dedicated servers generally include at least 30 TB of traffic, a 1 Gbps network connection, two IP addresses, DDoS protection, Linux or Windows installation, remote administration, remote reboot access, and hardware monitoring. Plesk and cPanel licenses can be added separately.

The dedicated platform is best suited to longer-term projects because orders normally require a 12-month commitment with quarterly billing. Deployment depends on hardware availability and the complexity of the requested configuration.

Domain services are provided through the associated KEKDomains operation. Domain registration includes Whois privacy and SSL for eligible extensions, while selected annual hosting packages may include a promotional .com registration. Available extensions include common international domains and Nigerian options such as .com.ng, .net.ng, and .ng.

The website builder is based on Mobirise, a downloadable drag-and-drop application for Windows and macOS. It includes responsive templates and reusable content blocks suitable for landing pages, company websites, portfolios, and other relatively simple projects. Custom website design and software-development services are also available through KEK Technology.

English is the primary language used across the company’s services. Prices are mainly displayed in U.S. dollars, while Nigerian customers can pay certain hosting and domain charges in either U.S. dollars or Nigerian naira.

The service catalog is considerably broader than the low-cost shared-hosting packages initially suggest. However, parts of the support documentation and infrastructure information retain older terminology, legacy product references, and inconsistent figures. Customers purchasing cloud or dedicated infrastructure should confirm all technical and contractual details in writing.
