The Eastern Province gets its own region: ksa-e-1, running on Google Cloud's me-central-2 in Saudi Arabia, managed through Skyline's console with SAR billing and Arabic-English support. Enterprise-grade underneath, local on top. Free 14-day trial, no credit card.
Plenty of hosting companies drop big-cloud names into their marketing and hope you do not ask follow-up questions. Here is the plain version. The Dammam region, ksa-e-1, runs on Google Cloud's me-central-2 region in Saudi Arabia. When you deploy there, the underlying infrastructure is Google's; the platform you actually operate is Skyline's:
Why this combination matters: buying me-central-2 capacity directly means contracting, paying and troubleshooting the hyperscaler way. Skyline gives Eastern Province businesses the same in-Kingdom placement with a local operating model. Simple where you want simple, serious where it counts.
Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran and Jubail run an economy unlike anywhere else in the Kingdom — energy, petrochemicals, logistics, and thousands of contractors and suppliers orbiting the industrial giants. That shapes what companies here need from a cloud:
| Riyadh — ksa-c-1 | Jeddah — ksa-w-1 | Dammam — ksa-e-1 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Role in the network | Primary region, the default | West-coast region | Eastern region, powered by Google Cloud (me-central-2) |
| Pick it when… | Users are nationwide or Riyadh-centric | Users cluster around Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah | Users are in the Eastern Province, or you want the Google Cloud Saudi region under Skyline management |
| Typical workloads | Company sites, national e-commerce | Tourism, seasonal commerce | Contractor portals, industrial-sector tools, EP-focused sites |
| Learn more | Riyadh page | Jeddah page | You are here |
All three share the same account, the same SAR wallet, and the same product set: hosting plans from 49 SAR/mo excl. VAT (details on the plans page), cloud servers billed hourly, business email, DNS and SSL. Beyond the Kingdom, edge locations from London to Singapore round out a 12-region network — the full map is on the landing page.
A 40-person industrial services contractor in Khobar: public website, 25 staff mailboxes, an internal HSE reporting tool, and a client portal for two major accounts.
One provider, one SAR invoice stack, everything in-Kingdom. And when the same contractor needs its own server room cabled or an office network maintained, the physical side lives with our parent company — IT AMC in Dammam at alskyline.com.
ksa-e-1 is Skyline Cloud's Eastern Province region, powered by Google Cloud and running on the me-central-2 region in Saudi Arabia. Skyline provides the layer you touch — the console, SAR wallet and billing, S Panel, and Arabic-English support — on top of that underlying infrastructure.
Pick Dammam when your users and operations are in the Eastern Province — Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran, Jubail — or when you specifically want workloads on the Google Cloud Saudi region with Skyline management. Riyadh (ksa-c-1) remains the primary default; Jeddah (ksa-w-1) serves the west.
The in-Kingdom region option — Dammam, powered by Google Cloud — supports data-residency needs by keeping the workload placement inside Saudi Arabia. We make no certification claims; your organisation still owns its classifications, policies and any sector-specific obligations.
Hosting plans are 49, 119 and 199 SAR/mo excl. VAT (Shared, Dedicated, Cloud), with free auto-renewing SSL, daily backups and a 99.9% uptime SLA. Cloud servers bill hourly from a SAR wallet, with live rates shown in the console. All invoices are ZATCA e-invoicing compliant.
It helps with the questions they actually ask: where is your website and email hosted, is your provider local, are your invoices ZATCA-compliant, can you name the region. Answering "ksa-e-1, Dammam, on Google Cloud me-central-2, SAR-billed" is concrete in a way "on some cloud" never is.
Yes. One console covers all three Saudi regions plus global edge locations — a common Eastern Province pattern is the public site in Riyadh, internal tools in Dammam, and the CDN handling everything global.
Start the free 14-day trial — no credit card. Provision in ksa-e-1, measure latency from your Khobar or Jubail office, and decide with data.
Provision in the Dammam region powered by Google Cloud, measure it from your own office, and pay in riyals only if it earns the business.
