Cheapest renewal over time
Truehost.com wins on every count here — cheapest to register at $2.99, cheapest to stay with at $12.00 a year after, and cheapest to transfer in at $10.00 too. 5 years: $55.94. No other registrar beats it on any of the three.
At Truehost.com, renewal runs just $12 — some registrars charge $273.38 instead. Multiply that 22.8x gap by every year you keep the domain, and it's real money. That's less than half the $49.90 median for Countries extensions, which is unusual.
.co.ke is the Kenya Network Information Centre's second level for companies. KeNIC's FAQ lists .co.ke as for companies and .or.ke for not-for-profit organisations and NGOs, alongside further second levels for other groups, so co.ke is the one designed for a business.
KeNIC states that .KE domain names can only be registered through accredited KeNIC registrars. It sets a minimum registration and renewal period of one year and allows a total of five years to be registered or renewed at a time. The .ke second levels it lists are co.ke, or.ke, ne.ke, go.ke, me.ke, mobi.ke, info.ke, sc.ke and ac.ke.
Renewal is not something to leave late. KeNIC says that if a domain is not renewed before its expiry date its status changes to suspended, and that 91 days after expiry the domain is deleted and made available to the public. A new registration, it says, becomes active in about 10 to 30 minutes depending on propagation.
The comparison table is the useful part of this page: sort by the five-year figure rather than the first-year price, and confirm the renewal price, since that is what you pay every year after the first.

.co.ke questions
How much does a .co.ke domain cost?
The cheapest first year is $2.99 at Truehost.com, and renewal is $12.00. Over five years that comes to $55.94, staying with that same registrar the whole time.
Why does .co.ke cost more to renew?
Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .co.ke the renewal is 4.0× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.
Which registrars sell .co.ke?
8 of the registrars we track currently offer it, which is thin coverage compared with common extensions. The table above lists all of them with current registration, renewal and transfer prices.
