Why local

Why Sohar teams pick Saudi-resident hosting

Routing Sohar mail through Frankfurt or Singapore adds 120–280ms per hop and parks your data outside KSA data-sovereignty rules. ksa-c-1 keeps the bytes in-Kingdom and the median path to Sohar at 18ms.

Data residency: ksa-c-1 (Riyadh). PDPL-aligned, ZATCA Phase 2 clearance built-in, no cross-border replication.
