An honest comparison guide

Choosing between
hosting companies in Dubai?

There are dozens of web hosting companies in Dubai and the UAE. This is an honest checklist for comparing them, and a clear picture of where Dirham A Day stands.

The checklist

Seven things to compare.

Renewal price, not just year one

Many hosts advertise AED 2 a month and renew at ten times that. Ask for the renewal price in writing. Ours is the same price you see on the plans page.

What is included

Is the .ae domain free? SSL? Email? Backups? At Dirham A Day all four are included on every plan, plus a free professionally built website.

Server technology

LiteSpeed with NVMe storage is materially faster than Apache on SATA disks. Ask which your host uses. We use LiteSpeed and NVMe everywhere.

Where support lives

A provider with a Dubai office and UAE-based staff will understand trade licences, the .ae registry and local payment methods. Our team is in Dubai Silicon Oasis.

Security and backups

Malware scanning, a firewall and daily backups should be standard, not add-ons. Imunify360 and daily backups are included here.

Migration help

A good host moves your site for free. We do, with zero downtime.

Money-back guarantee

Thirty days is fair. That is what we offer on all hosting plans.

Where we stand

Dirham A Day, honestly.

We are not the largest hosting company in Dubai and we do not try to be everything to everyone. We focus on small and medium businesses, startups, freelancers and agencies in the UAE who want fast cPanel hosting, a .ae domain, email and a website without a complicated bill.

Our pricing is the simplest in the market: Spark at 1 AED a day, Grow at 2 AED a day, Blaze at 3 AED a day, billed yearly, and renewals at the same price. Every plan includes the essentials other hosts sell as extras. And when something goes wrong, a person in the UAE answers.

More than 1,500 businesses across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman host with us. See the plans, or message us on WhatsApp and tell us what you need.
