Generally, in the email hosting Dubai sector, the services are included on top of a web hosting package i.e. you pay them to host your website, and they will also host your email charging you extra. The price tags would vary depending on the web host, but getting email hosting services from a web hosting solution is still a good deal, provided the host is reliable. 

That said, there are still hosts in Dubai that don’t offer email hosting services in their web hosting packages. If you specifically want an email hosting solution separately, here are a few things to keep in mind.

Email hosting choices

To separately host your domain email account from your website, you can choose from:

• Reliable web hosting providers that offer email hosting packages
  
• Paid email hosting service providers like Google Apps
  

Either one of these choices requires you to update the MX records of your domain thus routing domain emails to the new service provider. 

Using Google Apps or Microsoft 365 to setup domain emails

The Google Email Apps once allowed users to create up to 10 free domain email accounts. But it’s now a paid service. The entry plan costs $5 per month per user. It isn’t too complicated to get started in Google Apps. You can find simple and specific instructions in the app itself or from various ‘how-to’ guides. 

The same goes for Microsoft 365 with the same price tag for the entry subscription plan. 

Email hosting by a web host

It’s not that difficult to find reliable hosting companies in the web hosting Dubai market. However, you will have to do some research to see if their email hosting packages are alright. The email service may come as an add-on to their web hosting solutions or as a separate package. The former option is generally cost-effective. 

Conclusion

The best approach is to identify a web host with years of service to their credit, offering email/web hosting and domain registration services. Some of them even offer trial packages for you to make sure that their services deliver what was promised.
