Checkout charges US dollars on your Visa or Mastercard. Riyal prices above use the fixed Saudi peg of 1 US$ = SAR 3.75, so the SAR figure is what your card is charged, before any fee your bank adds.
Everything included
The same eight things come with every plan, whether you run a restaurant on Prince Turki Street, a clinic in Al Aqrabiyah or an oilfield-service office near Dhahran. Nothing on this list is a paid add-on.

Why Al Khobar businesses choose HostKarle
Al Khobar is the Eastern Province's shopping, dining and office district, next to Aramco's home in Dhahran and at the start of the causeway to Bahrain. Its businesses serve a mixed Saudi, expatriate and Bahraini crowd, and need a site in both Arabic and English. 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 Khobar 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.
Customers from both sides of the causeway
Khobar businesses serve visitors from Bahrain as well as the Kingdom. Build in Arabic and English on one plan with free SSL on every domain.
Hosting for Al Khobar businesses
The King Fahd Causeway starts on Khobar's doorstep, and weekend visitors from Bahrain fill the Corniche, the malls and the restaurants along Prince Turki Street. Retail, food and beauty businesses here compete hard for that traffic, and most now expect to be found on Google Maps with a proper website behind the listing.
Khobar is also an office town for the energy industry. Saudi Aramco's headquarters and the Ithra cultural centre are in neighbouring Dhahran, and consultancies, engineering firms, training institutes and recruitment agencies cluster in districts such as Al Aqrabiyah, Al Thuqbah and Al Rakah. For them we provide fast, low-cost hosting for bilingual corporate sites and reliable company email.
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 Khobar?
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 Khobar 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 Khobar 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 make my Khobar restaurant's site bilingual?
Yes. WordPress supports Arabic with right-to-left layout and English side by side, using a free translation plugin from the panel. Add your menu, map and a WhatsApp order button on the same plan.
I have customers in Bahrain too. Can I use one website for both?
Yes. One site can show prices in riyals and dinars and serve both countries. If you want a separate .bh domain, register it with a Bahrain registrar and point it at your hosting with us.
