The .ae extension is the United Arab Emirates' own domain. It signals a local, trusted business to customers and to search engines. Search, register and manage your .ae domain here, or get one free with any hosting plan.
A .ae domain costs AED 137 per year to register and the same to renew. There are no hidden registry fees and no price jump in year two. If you buy a hosting plan, the first year of your .ae domain is free.
Other popular extensions are available at the same transparent pricing: .com at AED 55, .net at AED 65, .org at AED 53, .me at AED 89, .info at AED 100, .co at AED 120, .io at AED 210, .online at AED 45 and .store at AED 60 per year.
Individuals and companies, inside or outside the UAE, can register a .ae domain. No trade licence is needed for standard .ae names.
Most .ae registrations go live within minutes of payment. We handle the registry submission and DNS setup for you.
Edit A, CNAME, MX and TXT records from your client area. Point your domain at our hosting, Shopify, Wix, Google Workspace or anything else.
Moving a .ae domain to us takes a few days and your website and email keep running throughout. Ask our team and we will guide you.
Customers in the UAE trust .ae websites more than generic extensions because they know the business is local and accountable. For Google searches made from the UAE, a country-code domain is a strong local signal, which helps you rank for searches like 'web hosting Dubai' or 'accountant Abu Dhabi' ahead of foreign competitors.
Availability is another advantage. Short, brandable names that were taken on .com years ago are often still free on .ae. If you are building a brand in the Emirates, owning the .ae version of your name protects it from competitors and cybersquatters.
