Thanks good people. I have managed to register the PIN having taken all your suggestions. The problem was with the browser, i was using chrome which refused, then tried to use Internet explorer but it had issues with selecting date on a pop-up. later changed to mozilla and i didnt even try twice.

Nairobi Data Centers
by Adam Nelson 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Does anybody know what the best colocation data centers in Nairobi are? I see that KDN, AccessKenya, Safaricom all have data centers where one can colocate half a rack with room for expansion. Are there others? Do people know if some are better or worse than others? I'm investigating the establishment of an OpenStack cloud-based hosting service physically co-located in Nairobi. Cheers, Adam
