What is Core Web Vitals?
Core Web Vitals measure loading (Largest Contentful Paint), responsiveness (Interaction to Next Paint) and visual stability (Cumulative Layout Shift) on real devices.
What is CDN?
A CDN caches copies of your pages and files in many data centres, so visitors download from one nearby. Cloudflare is a widely used CDN.
What is the best hosting in the UAE for a business website?
It depends on traffic and platform. Small brochure sites run well on good shared hosting; stores and web apps need a VPS or dedicated server. Our hosting calculator suggests a size.
Do you offer dedicated servers in the UAE?
Yes, alongside managed VPS and cloud servers. We recommend dedicated hardware for high traffic, heavy applications or strict isolation needs.
Is Cloudflare included?
Yes. Sites we host sit behind Cloudflare for caching, DDoS protection and free SSL.
How often do you back up my site?
Nightly, to a separate off-site location, and we test restores so backups actually work when needed.
Can I host email with you too?
Yes. We set up business email on your domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC so messages reach the inbox.
Do I get root or cPanel access?
Managed plans include a control panel and SFTP; root access is available on request for teams that need it.
