UAE's Tasjeel sees record growth in '.ae' domain registration despite pandemic
Company records 83% increase since April, raising marketshare to near 50%
Dubai: The UAE's domain registration company Tasjeel.ae recorded a growth of 83 per cent during the pandemic phase.
“We saw our new registrations of .ae domains grow by 83 per cent since April 2020, which has made us the fastest growing .ae domain provider,” said Wahid Aziz, CEO of Tasjeel.ae. “This along with our customers renewing their domains increased our marketshare of .ae domains by 48.5 per cent since the start of the pandemic.”
Since it’s revamp in 2018, Tasjeel has transitioned from selling .ae or .emarat domains - with a single web hosting package - to providing over 100 domain extensions, seeing the majority of this growth within 2020.
“We’ve spent the last year working through the madness (of the pandemic), helping businesses get online, building our blog as a go-to resource for digital marketing, and launching new products like our DIY Website Builder,” said Aziz.
This came about after Tasjeel looked into how other web developers worked, finding that higher fees often left customers lacking confidence in their own site management. From these findings Tasjeel based Quick Site on their Website Builder, ensuring everything was included from the domain, to hosting, emails and web development.
