      Why local

      Why Chicago teams pick Saudi-resident hosting

      A Chicago business sending United States invoices needs ZATCA Phase 2 clearance, DKIM that aligns from a KSA-resident sender, and a 55ms median path so Outlook never pinwheels. ksa-c-1 delivers all three.

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

      FAQ

      Chicago questions, answered

      Common questions from Chicago teams evaluating Saudi-resident email.

      Can the team in Chicago use two-factor authentication?+

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

      How do mailboxes migrate from existing United States 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 USD when you convert to paid.

      What is the typical email latency to Chicago?+

      About 55ms P50 from ksa-c-1. P95 stays under 2× P50 for SMTP banner-to-DATA round trip.
