Transfer terms for .ae
The transfer prices in the table are what registrars list. Whether a transfer of a .ae domain is free or paid, and whether it adds registration time, is not confirmed here and depends on the extension and the registrar. See the Facts tab.
Bottom line
Dynadot has the lowest 3-year cost for .ae: $98.04, which is $51.96 less than IONOS, the registrar with the lowest first year.
.ae is the country-code domain of the United Arab Emirates. It was added to the root zone on 1 December 1992. The UAE also has an Arabic domain, .امارات ("emarat"), which was one of the first Arabic-script country codes approved in 2010.
The Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) officially manages it, and its .ae Domain Administration (.aeDA) runs the registry day to day.
For many years, .ae was run by Etisalat, the national telecom company. The regulator took over in 2008, and .aeDA launched a modern registry with accredited registrars in August that year.
Names directly under .ae, like brand.ae, are open to applicants from anywhere in the world. Third-level endings are restricted and require documentation. .co.ae is for companies registered in the UAE, and the name should relate to the business name.
.gov.ae, .mil.ae, .ac.ae and .sch.ae are for government, military, universities and schools. So when someone says ".ae is open", they usually mean the direct .ae space only.
UAE companies, government entities, free-zone businesses, hotels, shops and individuals use .ae to show they serve the Emirates. International companies with offices in the Middle East use it for their regional websites.
The Arabic .امارات lets organisations use a web address written fully in Arabic. It follows the same national rules, but far fewer websites use it than .ae, partly because it's harder to type on non-Arabic keyboards.

Transfer prices are shown in the price table. What a transfer does to the registration time can depend on the registrar and the offer, so check it at the registrar before you transfer.
How .ae second-level domains work
A second-level domain sits one step below .ae: instead of example.ae, a name is registered as example.co.ae, with co marking out one branch of the extension. We track 7 second-level extensions under .ae and 5 of them have registrar prices so far.
The .ae extension is managed by Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA). Who can register under each second level, and on what terms, is decided at the registry rather than by the registrar, and a few zones may be administered separately, so confirm eligibility with your registrar before buying.
A name under any of them has three labels — your name, the second level, then ae — and DNS works exactly as for any other domain. Registration data is published through the .ae WHOIS server, whois.aeda.net.ae. The .ae registry does not support DNSSEC, so zones under its second levels cannot be signed.
