Recently, our company(the Laini Group) has been working on improving a web property for a large corporation, and our work was rudely interrupted by an error that implied there was no more space on the servers to work with. We were surprised at this because we had only just begun work on the website. Upon quick investigation, we discovered that the website had been allocated ONLY 10 MEGABYTES OF SPACE on Access Kenya's servers. Not people to be shocked easily, we assumed a minor error in the server was the cause of this. Wetook to the Access Kenya website to get some clarification, only to find that they actually offer ONLY 10 MEGABYTES OF SPACE FOR... 15, 000 BOB!!!

Compare that to Sasahost, who has managed to host the Laini Group's flagship web property(
KenyanLyrics.com) for 2 years. The same price gets you TENS OF THOUSANDS times the space that Access offers!

Needless to say, we encouraged the corporation to migrate from Access, and we were out of there in less than 24 hours.
This is without a doubt, the most worthless webhosting package around! And I challenge my fellow web developers to dispute that claim!
Upon checking how on earth somebody could have been duped into such a deal, I discovered that it was the brand strength of Access that had driven the corporation's decision to host with them. The purpose of this message is to not let anybody else be duped by this image Access Kenya has created about being the provider of choice for corporate internet. They also use this ruse to con people into buying advertising on their portal, but that is a story for another day
