Full analysis
Overview
This website is a Kenyan commercial hosting provider presenting shared hosting, VPS services, reseller hosting, domain registration, website tools, and customer support, with revenue apparently derived from recurring hosting subscriptions, domain purchases, and related add-on services.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed across the supplied evidence: there are no confirmed phishing, impersonation, blacklist, malicious-content, or identity-conflict indicators. The homepage presents a conventional hosting business rather than an investment, cryptocurrency, or credential-harvesting proposition; its claims concern fast and affordable hosting, SSD storage, free SSL certificates, and a SitePad website builder. The site does contain login and order workflows, but testing found no hidden forms, external password-submission destinations, wallet connections, clipboard manipulation, or suspicious inline scripts. One external screening result was marked suspicious, but it was isolated and uncorroborated; the broader screening evidence recorded no malicious detections or blacklist hit.
- The homepage describes shared hosting, VPS servers, reseller hosting, domain registration, migration, SSL, and website-builder services.
- The homepage contains login and order forms; behavioral testing recorded no hidden forms, external password forms, wallet activity, or clipboard writes.
- The domain was registered on 2017-02-08 and is approximately 9.51 years old.
- Historical records show 66 snapshots from 2017-05-12 through 2025-10-16, covering 9 tracked years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
Available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate hosting business, although the real-world operator identity is not independently verified. The site identifies itself as ShujaaHost and provides business contact information, while its terms-of-service and support materials support a normal commercial-service model. The site does not present a licensing or registration number; for a web-hosting provider this is primarily a disclosure and entity-verification matter rather than evidence of deception. Registration is recorded through KWE Holding Limited. Third-party broker intelligence produced no match, and the measured external reputation is broadly favorable despite the single uncorroborated suspicious result noted above.
- The website’s homepage title identifies the service as “Web Hosting and Domain Registration in Kenya.”
- The domain registrar is KWE Holding Limited; the recorded registration expiry is 2027-02-08.
- The site is served from AS16276 (OVH - OVH SAS, FR).
- TLS uses issuer YE2 with DV validation and is valid to 2026-11-02T08:00:10+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before credential or payment interactions, an organization should independently match the legal entity named on invoices and payment instructions to the entity identified in the provider’s commercial documentation. The terms should be reviewed for renewal, cancellation, refund, resource-use, and service-availability conditions. Contact details should be confirmed through an independently obtained channel, and payment methods offering ordinary purchaser protection should be preferred for initial transactions.
- The site publishes terms-of-service and support-center navigation.
- The contact page provides a telephone number, email channel, and office address.
- The account and order workflows are the relevant points for validating billing, renewal, and credential-handling practices.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is high trust and low risk, with the available evidence consistent with an established, apparently legitimate website and no observed scam or impersonation contradictions. Confidence is strong but not conclusive because the operator’s real-world identity has not been independently verified.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website benefits from CDN/WAF protection, with the observed edge address 51.210.72.59 associated with AS16276 and OVH - OVH SAS, FR; no origin-server candidate was identified in this analysis. This infrastructure reduces direct exposure of the origin and is a mitigating security signal, but it does not independently establish operator identity.
Closing Assessment
Ordinary commercial engagement is reasonable, subject to independent confirmation of the billed entity, service terms, contact channels, and payment protections before credentials or funds are provided.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about shujaahost.co.ke at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
