1. Who can register a .ae domain?
Individuals, businesses and organisations can register a .ae domain, subject to availability and .aeDA policies. You must provide accurate registrant information and choose a name that does not violate applicable laws or third-party rights.
2. Can I register a .ae domain from outside the UAE?
Yes. You can register a .ae domain from anywhere in the world. Standard .ae registration does not require UAE residency or a local business presence.
3. Do I need a UAE trade licence or Emirates ID?
No. A UAE trade licence or Emirates ID is not required for standard .ae domain registration. Different eligibility and documentation requirements apply to restricted extensions such as .co.ae, .org.ae and .ac.ae.
4. How much does registration and renewal cost? Is VAT included?
Standard .ae registration currently starts at AED 120 for the first year. The renewal price is approximately AED 130 per year. These prices exclude 5% VAT, which is added at checkout. Review the pricing table and checkout total for the latest applicable charges.
5. How long can I register my domain for?
Under the published .aeDA policy, .ae domains can be registered for a licence period of one to five years. Choose an available registration term when ordering and renew before expiry to continue using your domain.
6. When will my domain become active, and how long can DNS changes take?
Registration normally completes within minutes after payment clears and the registry accepts your application. Connecting your domain to a website or email service also requires the correct DNS settings. DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to become visible across different networks, although many updates appear sooner.
7. Can I transfer my existing .ae domain to Gatehills?
Yes. You can transfer an existing .ae domain to Gatehills. Obtain your domain’s authorisation code, also called the domain password, from your current registrar and submit your transfer request. Make sure you can access the registered contact email to complete any required verification.
8. Does a free transfer include a renewal or change the expiry date?
No. Transferring your .ae domain to Gatehills is free, but it does not include an additional registration year. Your existing expiry date remains unchanged, and renewal is charged separately when due.
9. Are hosting and email included? What are their limits?
The listed .ae package includes a one-page website and one branded email address. For email storage, sending limits, website capabilities and any service duration limits, please contact Gatehills support before ordering. Check the package details to confirm whether it meets your website and email requirements.
10. What happens if I do not renew before expiry?
Your .ae domain enters an expired status and stops resolving, interrupting connected website and email services. Renewal may remain possible during a limited recovery window under registry rules. If it is not renewed, the domain can be deleted and made available to others. Renew before expiry, or contact support immediately if your domain has already expired.
