Imagine renting a shop in the busiest mall in Dubai — only to find out there’s no electricity, no signage, and no one can find you. That’s what happens when you rush into buying a domain and hosting without research.
Here’s your crash course:
1. The Domain Name Matters
- Keep it short, catchy, and relevant to your business.
- Avoid hyphens and hard-to-spell words.
- Go for .com, but if your market is UAE or GCC-focused, also secure .ae, .sa, or .qa.
2. Hosting Isn’t Just “Space”
- Choose SSD hosting for speed.
- Go for providers with at least 99.9% uptime and 24/7 support.
- Shared hosting is cheap but can be slow. For serious businesses, look into VPS or Managed WordPress hosting.
3. Don’t Ignore SSL
No SSL = browser warning = lost trust. Always opt for a host that provides free SSL certificates.
4. Location of Servers
For businesses in the GCC, choose servers located in or near the region for better speed and performance.
