      Why local

      Why Al Ain teams pick Saudi-resident hosting

      When a Al Ain regulator (CITC, ZATCA, NCA) asks where the data lives, "Riyadh, ksa-c-1" is the answer they want. 17ms median to Al Ain is the bonus.

      Every byte of Al Ain mail lives at ksa-c-1. PDPL Article 29 cross-border restrictions are honoured by construction, not policy.

      FAQ

      Al Ain questions, answered

      Al Ain-specific questions that come up in evaluation calls.

      Can the team in Al Ain use two-factor authentication?+

      Yes. TOTP, WebAuthn, or backup codes per mailbox. Enforced via team policy.

      How do mailboxes migrate from existing United Arab Emirates providers?+

      IMAP-only migration. We pull from Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or a legacy host in the background with no downtime.

      Do you handle DNS for my domain?+

      Yes. Authoritative DNS hosting is included. MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC are set up with one click from the same console.

      Do I need a credit card to start?+

      No. 14-day trial, no card required. Plans bill in AED when you convert to paid.

      What is the typical email latency to Al Ain?+

      About 17ms P50 from ksa-c-1. P95 stays under 2× P50 for SMTP banner-to-DATA round trip.
