Hosting & domains
Many Qatar businesses find out their domain is registered in a former supplier’s name only when something expires or breaks. We provide managed website hosting, domain registration, DNS, SSL certificates and business email, and we keep track of renewals for you. The domain and the accounts stay in your name, and you always know who to contact.
Yes
Tell us where your domain, hosting and email sit today, and we will quote for moving them or taking over their care.
No
Tell us the domain you want and how many email accounts you need, and we will quote for setting everything up.
Domains and hosting accounts registered in your business name
Hosting for websites in Arabic and English, set up and checked
Domains, hosting, DNS and email managed together in one place
Websites and digital marketing for over a decade
Most businesses need some or all of these four services. The proposal states which ones are included and how each is renewed.
Hosting sized for your website and its visitors
Hosting set up for WordPress sites and updates
Email addresses on your own domain for your team
Domain registration and DNS records kept in order
Hosting is easy to ignore until it fails. These are seven things good hosting should give you, each one included only as your proposal states.
Nothing is assumed, everything is listed.
Our working hours overlap with Qatar for most of the day from Monday to Thursday. Meetings happen by video call, and every stage ends with your approval.
The switch happens only after the copy is tested.
We confirm who holds the domain, the hosting and the email today, and what access you already have. If anything is in a former supplier’s name, we plan how to bring it back to you.
We list the files, databases, email accounts and DNS records to move, and agree the order. You approve the plan, so you know what will happen and when, before anything changes.
We copy the website and email to the new hosting and test them there, while the current site keeps running. Nothing changes for your visitors until the copy works as it should.
We switch the DNS at a quiet time for Qatar, agreed with you in advance, so the fewest visitors and emails are affected while the change spreads across the internet.
We watch the website and email after the switch, check that messages arrive and pages load, and fix anything that did not come across before we close the move.
We send you the logins, renewal dates and a record of the DNS settings, all in your name. The proposal states the support included after the move and for how long.
Three common hosting and domain problems, and how each one is fixed.
Domain in someone else’s name
A former supplier holds the key.
Security warning on the site
Visitors see a not secure message.
Email lands in spam
Clients never see your replies.
Your domain is part of your business, and it should never depend on one supplier. The proposal states who is the registrant and who holds each account.
The domain is registered in your business name.
Most of these projects are for clients outside Qatar. None is presented as a Qatar project unless it is labelled that way.
A sample of our wider work.
Each service has its own page and scope. A proposal covers only what you ask for.
Security
Backups and checks
Connections
A hosting move goes smoothly when we know where everything sits today. Gather what you can, and anything missing becomes a question in our reply.
Not sure who holds your domain? Send us the name and we will check it for you.
These logos belong to Creative 4 All clients across different markets and services. Not all are based in Qatar, and not all used hosting services.
Hosting needs differ with the size of the site and how much the business relies on email. These are examples, not a list of our Qatar clients.
Company websites: steady and secure
Online stores: busy periods and orders
WordPress sites: updates and backups
Busy offices: email for the whole team
Schools: news and parent portals
Clinics: booking pages and email
Agencies: hosting for their clients
New businesses: domain, site and email
Hosting quotes vary because sites, email needs and domains vary. The best way to compare them is to see what each one includes, and what it will cost when it renews.
Three items to expect in a proposal:
With your quote request, we confirm the hosting size, domains and email accounts included.
More pages, files and visitors need more space and server resources.
Each mailbox on your domain adds to the yearly hosting cost.
Each domain extension has its own registration and renewal cost.
Check what each costs at renewal, not only in the first year.
Use the quote form to tell us your domain and what you need, for example: our domain is registered with a former supplier, we have 15 email accounts and we want everything moved into our name. We reply with the questions we need answered before preparing a proposal.
Cheap shared hosting can work for a small site, but when something breaks you are often left with a ticket queue and no one who knows your website. Managed hosting costs more because someone looks after the site, the backups, the renewals and the email for you, and you know who to contact.
Short answers on transfers, ownership, servers, email, backups, SSL, renewals and support.
We copy and test everything first, then switch at a quiet time agreed with you. Most visitors notice nothing, though DNS changes can take a few hours to reach everyone.
You do. We register it in your business name, or help you move it into your name if a former supplier holds it. The proposal states who is the registrant and who manages it.
Tell us the extension you want, such as .com or a country extension. The proposal confirms whether we can register it directly, what it needs and what it costs each year.
The hosting location is stated in your proposal. If your business has a requirement about where data is stored, tell us before we quote, so we can confirm what fits.
Yes. We create email accounts on your domain, set the DNS records that help messages reach the inbox and show your team how to add the accounts to phones and laptops.
Backups run on the schedule stated in your proposal and are stored away from the website. If something goes wrong, we restore the site from the most recent good backup.
Yes, an SSL certificate is set up on the websites we host and renewed before it expires, so visitors see a secure connection. The proposal states the type of certificate used.
Yes. We track the renewal dates for your domain, hosting and certificates and remind you in advance, with the cost confirmed before anything renews.
Yes. WordPress hosting is set up for updates and backups. If you also need the site itself maintained, we offer WordPress and CMS services separately.
By email or video call, during our working hours, which overlap with Qatar for most of the day from Monday to Thursday. The proposal states how support requests are handled.
No. We work with you by video call and email. Our working days overlap with Qatar for most of the day from Monday to Thursday.
