If you’re building a website in the UAE, registering a .ae domain name is the way to go.
Choosing the right domain name is key to boosting your brand’s credibility, making your site easier to find, and helping people remember it. A good domain name also improves your search engine ranking, bringing more visitors to your site.
The Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) has made it easy to register your domain online.
Here’s how to do it in 6 easy steps:
- Visit the TDRA website (https://tdra.gov.ae/en/aeda) and search for your desired domain name in the search bar to check if it’s available.
- If the domain name is available, you’ll see a list of Accredited Registrars where you can register your website. Pick a registrar based on the prices and extra services offered.
- Most .aeDA Registrars offer an online application form for easy registration. Depending on the domain type, the process usually only takes a few minutes to add your .ae domain to the Domain Name System (DNS).
- Double-check that your details are correct and that the provided email is active.
- After filling out the application form and completing the registration steps, simply accept the terms and conditions (be sure to read them carefully!).
- Finally, use the Whois service to confirm your domain registration and check your details.
