HI Alex,

You may not be aware, but Google is setting up shop and we already provide
free hosting services for anyone with a domain. This means not only can you
get a free website hosted, but that you can also add mail for all users,
branded under your domain etc .... Many people in Kenya are already using
the service.

We intend to peer at the KIXP this means the quality of service will be
great.

Try it out and see

Http://www.google.com/a or http://www.google.co.ke/a - even better here you
will see the wealth of services we provide.

Sorry to shamelessly plug Google here - The service is free so maybe am
allowed.

Sorry guys

Joe Mucheru
