Everything included
The same eight things come with every plan, whether you run a date farm in the oasis, a shop in Al Qaisariya Souq in Hofuf or a workshop in Al Mubarraz. Nothing on this list is a paid add-on.
Pure SSD storage
Every site sits on solid-state disks on servers we do not oversell, so pages and databases stay quick under load.

No traffic meter and no surprise bill if a post takes off or your Ramadan or Eid sale gets busy.
Easy control panel
Manage files, databases, email, domains and PHP versions from one web panel. No command line needed.
Free SSL
A Let's Encrypt certificate is issued for every domain automatically and renews itself, so the padlock never lapses.

Business email
Mailboxes on your own domain, such as sales@yourcompany.com, with webmail, IMAP and spam filtering.

Free migration
Send us your old host's login and we move the site, database and email across at no cost.
Why Al-Ahsa businesses choose HostKarle
Al-Ahsa is the world's largest palm oasis and a UNESCO World Heritage site, home to date farms, craft traditions and a big trading community. Its businesses are moving online to sell well beyond the oasis. We are a small hosting company that has run servers since 2016, and we are not based in Saudi Arabia; we say so plainly.
Priced in riyals
Every price on this page is in SAR at the fixed dollar peg, so what you see is what you are charged. The Basic plan costs a fraction of typical Saudi shared hosting.
Pay with your card
Checkout takes Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards, including many cards issued by Saudi banks. It is a normal online card payment in US dollars.
Talk to a person
Open a ticket at any hour or message us on WhatsApp. Our team works 2½ hours ahead of Arabia Standard Time, so the Al-Ahsa working day and ours overlap almost completely.
Domain and hosting together
Register your .com, .net or .org in the same checkout as your hosting, or keep a domain you already own and point it to us.
Free move from Dimofinf
Leaving Dimofinf, Sahara Net, SaudiHost or another host? We copy your site, database and mailboxes for free and switch over when you are ready.
Sell Al-Ahsa dates and crafts
Khalas dates, bisht cloaks and pottery from Al-Ahsa sell across the Gulf. Run a WooCommerce shop on any plan with unlimited bandwidth.
Hosting for Al-Ahsa businesses
The Al-Ahsa Oasis has more than two million date palms and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2018. Its Khalas dates are among the most prized in the Gulf, and farms and packers increasingly sell directly online. The oasis is also known for its crafts, especially hand-sewn bisht cloaks and traditional pottery, sold in Al Qaisariya Souq in Hofuf and now through online shops.
Al-Ahsa's cities, Hofuf and Al Mubarraz, form one of the largest urban areas in the Eastern Province, with King Faisal University, a big retail market and many businesses serving the nearby oil and gas fields. Tourism around Jabal Al-Qarah, the springs and the old souqs is growing too. Local businesses use our plans for Arabic-first sites and company email at a low, fixed price.
Register your domain name
Search for the name you want and register it together with your hosting in the same checkout. We connect it to your plan, so your website, free SSL and business email work without touching any DNS settings.
Domain prices are charged in US dollars at checkout (.com US$13.19 a year) and shown here at 1 US$ = SAR 3.75. Already own a domain somewhere else, including a .sa domain? Keep it there and point its nameservers to ns1.fastnsdns.com and ns2.fastnsdns.com.

How much does web hosting cost in Al-Ahsa?
Shared hosting from Saudi companies usually starts between SAR 16 and SAR 40 a month for a single site, often only on a long prepaid term. HostKarle's Basic plan is SAR 6.34 a month billed monthly, SAR 4.22 a month on a yearly plan (SAR 50.59 a year) or SAR 2.08 a month on a three-year plan, and it renews at the same price.
How can I pay from Saudi Arabia?
Pay online with a Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card, including many cards issued by Saudi banks. The checkout charges US dollars; the riyal prices on this page are the dollar price at the fixed Saudi peg of 1 US$ = SAR 3.75. Your bank may add a small foreign-transaction fee. Mada-only cards, STC Pay, SADAD, cash and bank transfer cannot be used at our checkout.
Can I register a domain with you?
Yes. Search for your name above and register it in the same checkout as your hosting. A .com costs SAR 49.46 a year (US$13.19), and .net, .org, .online and .co are available too. We do not register .sa domains; if you already own a domain elsewhere, point its nameservers to ns1.fastnsdns.com and ns2.fastnsdns.com.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, for 2 days. Ask within 48 hours of your first purchase and we refund the hosting fee in full. After that, refunds are only given for a prolonged outage on our side, and domains are never refundable. Many Saudi hosts offer 30 days, so try the service in those first two days. Read the full refund policy.
Can you move my site from my current Al-Ahsa host for free?
Yes. Whether you are with Dimofinf, Sahara Net, SaudiHost or anyone else, send us your control-panel login and we copy the website, databases and mailboxes at no charge. Your old site stays live until you change the nameservers, so there is no downtime.
Does hosting location affect my Google.com.sa rankings?
Not directly. Google has said for years that server location is a weak signal at most; what tells Google a site is for Al-Ahsa is prices in SAR, local addresses and phone numbers, and content written for local customers. Speed does count, so keep pages light and use a CDN such as Cloudflare.
Do I have to keep my data inside Saudi Arabia?
We do not have a data centre in Saudi Arabia. The Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), fully enforced by SDAIA since September 2024, allows personal data to be sent abroad with safeguards and a risk assessment, so most business websites can be hosted outside the Kingdom. Government and critical-infrastructure systems under National Cybersecurity Authority controls, SAMA-regulated financial firms and health data generally have to stay in Saudi Arabia. If that applies to you, use a Saudi data centre. This is not legal advice.
Can I sell Khalas dates online from Al-Ahsa?
Yes. Install WooCommerce from the panel, list your products and connect a payment and delivery provider that works in Saudi Arabia. Unlimited bandwidth covers the harvest and Ramadan rush.
Do you serve Hofuf, Al Mubarraz and the villages around the oasis?
Yes. Everything is online, so any business in the Al-Ahsa governorate gets the same plans, prices and support.
