Buy a .ae domain: registration, DNS and business email

.ae is the country-code top-level domain for the United Arab Emirates. It is administered by the .ae Domain Administration (aeDA), part of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), and sold through accredited registrars and their resellers. A .ae domain signals a UAE presence, which many local customers trust, and short, memorable names are often still available that are long gone in .com.

• Keep it short and easy to spell after hearing it once.
• Match your brand or trade name where possible.
• Avoid hyphens and numbers, which people forget or mistype.
• Check the name is not someone else's trademark.
• Register common variants (.ae and .com, and obvious misspellings) to protect your brand.

Our free domain name generator suggests options from a keyword, and our WHOIS lookup checks registration status for many extensions.

DNS is where your domain tells the world where your website lives and which servers handle your email. A wrong record can take your site offline or send your email to spam. We manage DNS on Cloudflare for speed and protection, document every record, and lower time-to-live values before planned changes so moves are fast and safe. You can check any domain's records with our free DNS lookup tool.

Gmail and Yahoo now require authentication from bulk senders, and correct records help every sender. Our SPF, DKIM and DMARC checker shows what is missing and the exact fix.

Most businesses choose Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Google Workspace suits browser-based teams that collaborate in Docs and Sheets; Microsoft 365 suits teams that live in Outlook, Excel and Teams. We set up either, migrate existing mailboxes, configure shared inboxes and aliases, and add the authentication records so your messages land in the inbox.

1. Unlock the domain at your current registrar and request the transfer authorisation code.
2. Make sure the domain is not within a recent registration or transfer lock period.
3. Copy all DNS records to the new DNS provider before changing anything.
4. Start the transfer with the new registrar and approve it by email.
5. Keep the same nameservers during the transfer so the website and email keep working.
6. Confirm the new expiry date and turn on auto-renew.

• Register it in your company's name, with a company email you control.
• Turn on auto-renew and keep payment details current.
• Enable registrar lock and two-factor login on the registrar account.
• Limit who has access, and remove former staff and agencies.
• Monitor expiry dates for every domain you own, including brand variants.

.ae domains are managed by the UAE's .ae Domain Administration (aeDA) and registered through accredited registrars. Requirements depend on the type of name — for example trademark or trade-licence matching for some names — so we check eligibility first. Choose a name that is short, easy to spell when heard aloud, and matches your brand; register the .com too if it is available, and register both in your company's name, never an agency's.

Email migrations fail when cut-over is rushed. We set up the new mailboxes first, copy existing mail and calendars, lower DNS time-to-live in advance, switch MX records at a quiet time, keep the old service running in parallel for a few days to catch stragglers, and then update SPF, DKIM and DMARC for the new provider. Users get simple instructions for their phones and laptops before the switch.

Expired or hijacked domains take websites and email offline instantly. We enable auto-renew with a valid payment method, registrar lock, two-factor authentication on the registrar account, and accurate contact details in your company's name. Renewals and SSL expiries are monitored, and you get advance warnings well before anything lapses.

Domain search and eligibility checks, registration of your .ae and .com names in your company's name, DNS hosted on a fast, secure provider, business email on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured and verified, migration of existing mailboxes, setup help for staff phones and laptops, and monitoring of renewals and DMARC reports afterwards. You receive a one-page record of every account, record and renewal date, so nothing depends on memory.

For most businesses the choice is Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Both provide reliable business email on your own domain, shared calendars, video calls and document storage, with administration for adding and removing staff. Teams that live in Word and Excel tend to prefer Microsoft 365; teams that collaborate in the browser often prefer Google Workspace. Cheap hosting-bundled mailboxes are fine for a single address but struggle with deliverability, storage and security as a company grows. Whichever you choose, configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC on day one.
