Like the Burj Khalifa, WebOasis towers high among the UAE’s hosting service providers. With its Windows and Linux web hosting, you get unlimited resources and a user-friendly control panel.
WebOasis is fine, but fine is not good enough. While WebOasis is a decent web host, you can get better quality hosting at a cheaper price with Hostinger, for example.
WebOasis is a subsidiary of the UAE’s Dubai-based AEserver that was founded in 2005. This company was begun by one guy in his bedroom, and in 2008 it became a fully accredited domain registrar for the .ae domain. The WebOasis website is in English.
Feature and Ease of Use
With the WebOasis Windows and Linux hosting, you get the following features (including some that would cost you extra elsewhere):
Free .ae domain name
Unlimited subdomains
Unlimited bandwidth
Unlimited FTP accounts
Free business emails
Jetpack automated backups
Free website statistics
You have access to tools such as the free website builder and a one-click app installer for the likes of WordPress, Joomla, and PrestaShop, so it’s super easy to build a database-driven CMS website or a powerful e-store with an extensive product inventory. If you really want to create a fully customized website, and you have the requisite technical skills, you can use the supported scripting and programming tools such as PHP, Perl, and Ruby on Rails.
Getting back to basics, it’s imperative to back up your website on a regular basis so that you don’t lose many hours of hard work. The free advancedbackups and restore will help you to do just that.
In terms of its hosting plans, WebOasis provides a Basic plan (which is ideal for starters or anyone wanting to build a website with low traffic), a Premium plan (with more storage space and free SSL), and an Ultimate plan (for super-fast hosting, unlimited websites, and priority support).
Besides the free SSL certificate that is provided with some plans, additional security is available in the form of the optional SiteLock and CodeGuard.
Pricing and Support
WebOasis provides a low-cost hosting service that really delivers value for money with its feature-rich hosting plans. With the minimum annual commitment, you get a free domain and free SSL (on some plans), and you can order optional extras at the checkout such as the Weebly website builder, SpamExperts, SiteLock, and CodeGuard. You get a 30-day money-back guarantee that gives you a month to cancel your account if it doesn’t meet your needs.
For support, you can contact this company’s Dubai-based 24/7 support team by submitting a ticket or calling during business hours. For self-support, you can refer to the adequately populated knowledge base:
