Website Hosting & Domains in Dubai — Done For You

Hosting is the part of running a website nobody wants to think about — and that's exactly why so many Dubai businesses end up with slow sites, expired SSL certificates and surprise bills. With Internext, hosting is fully managed and included in every website plan (from AED 100/month), including a free .com domain (1st year), business email, daily backups, and an SSL certificate that never expires on you. It's all part of your monthly plan — or, if you just need hosting, grab a standalone plan from AED 50/month below.

This page covers exactly what's in the hosting stack, why it's faster and more reliable than the typical Dubai shared-hosting setup, and what the alternatives cost if you go it alone.

What's included with Internext hosting

• 99.9% uptime SLA on a global tier-1 CDN with edge nodes near the Gulf for fast TTFB to UAE visitors.
• Free SSL certificate auto-renewed for life — no expired-padlock errors, no manual cron jobs.
• Free .com domain in your name, registered for the first year (renews at standard registry pricing).
• Daily off-site backups for 30 days. One-click restore if anything goes wrong.
• cPanel access on Business and Premium plans, or fully managed on Starter — your choice.
• Business email on @yourdomain.com — included on every website plan.
• DDoS protection & WAF at the CDN edge — bot traffic and known attacks are blocked before they hit your site.
• HTTP/3, Brotli compression and image optimisation — built in, not configured.

Why hosting matters more than people think

A 1-second delay in mobile page load can cut conversions by up to 20%. Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking signal, and the LLM crawlers we optimise for in AI SEO are equally allergic to slow servers — many simply stop indexing a site that times out twice in a row. Cheap shared hosting at AED 30/month feels like a saving, until you do the math on the leads it costs you.

How it compares to typical Dubai hosting

Domain registered in the agency's name	Registered in your name from day one
Backups optional / extra charge	Daily, 30-day retention, free
Email hosting sold separately	Included on all website plans
Support via ticket queue, 24–48h response	WhatsApp support, typically same-day

Domains — handled, not handled hostage

You always own the domain

Every domain we register goes into your name with you as the registrant. If you ever move on from Internext, you keep the domain. We'll happily push the auth code to whatever new registrar you choose. No hostage drama, ever.

Free .com first year

Every Internext website plan includes a free .com for year one. Your hosting, business email, SSL and domain are all bundled into one simple monthly plan (from AED 100/month) — far simpler than juggling separate registrar (~AED 50/year for a .com, ~AED 150/year for .ae), SSL and hosting invoices yourself.

Other TLDs we register

• .ae — Dubai/UAE national, great for local trust signals
• .com — global default, best for AI-engine recognition
• .co, .net, .io, .app — common for tech and startups
• .shop, .store — for online stores

Email hosting on your own domain

Nothing wrecks first impressions in Dubai faster than an [email protected] address on a business card. Every website-plan client gets professional email on @yourdomain.com:

1. Standard inboxes ([email protected], info@, sales@, careers@…) with full IMAP, SMTP, webmail
2. SPF, DKIM and DMARC pre-configured so your emails land in the inbox, not the spam folder
3. Forwarding aliases as needed (info@ → personal Gmail, for example)
4. Optional Google Workspace / Microsoft 365 setup if you'd rather use those — we'll wire it up and manage DNS

Migrations from existing hosts

Roughly half of new Internext clients arrive with an existing site somewhere else — usually a WordPress site on a cheap UAE host, a Wix or Squarespace site they've outgrown, or an old GoDaddy build. The migration playbook:

1. You send us your current registrar login (or just the auth code)
2. We clone the site to a staging URL and verify everything works
3. We schedule the DNS cutover for a low-traffic window — usually 2 AM UAE time
4. SSL is reissued automatically, sitemap resubmitted to Google, search rankings preserved

Average migration time: under 24 hours, with zero email downtime when planned in advance.

Pricing reference

Hosting comes bundled with every website plan — or you can buy it standalone (Web Hosting from AED 50/month, Reseller from AED 500/month). For the curious, here's the equivalent retail value:

• Hosting + SSL + CDN equivalent: ~AED 80/month if bought à la carte
• Free .com year 1: AED 50 value
• Backups (30-day retention): ~AED 40/month elsewhere
• Business email (5 inboxes): ~AED 30/month elsewhere

Effective hosting value: well over AED 1,800/year if bought piece by piece — yet it's included in every website plan (from AED 100/month), bundled into one simple monthly fee. See the full pricing page for plan details.

Common questions about Dubai hosting

Where are the servers physically located?

Your origin can be in the EU or Singapore depending on plan, but every request is served from the nearest CDN edge — for UAE visitors that means a Gulf-region node, well under 50ms round-trip.

Can I use my existing domain?

Absolutely. We can either move the registrar to us (recommended for simplicity), or keep it where it is and just point the DNS at our nameservers.

What happens if I cancel?

Your domain stays with you, your data is exported as a zip on request, and your DNS continues working until you point it elsewhere. We don't believe in retention via friction.
