.ke
The .ke domain extension is the internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Kenya. It is administered by the Kenya Network Information Center (KeNIC), with the aim to promote Kenyan businesses on the internet. It comes with different second and third level domains such as .co.ke for corporations, .ac.ke for academic institutions, and .go.ke for government entities, among others. This gives a variety of options for entities and individuals wanting to establish an online presence closely identified with Kenya. Entities from outside Kenya can also register .ke domains, broadening its reach and influence globally.
