Before your website goes live you need two things: a domain (your name, like mybrand.com) and hosting (where your site's files live). Here's how to choose both correctly in Egypt, what they cost, and the mistakes that cost business owners dearly.
First: The Domain โ Your Name Online
Choosing a winning domain name
- Short, easy to type and pronounce.
- Prefer .com for general business; .store/.shop for e-commerce.
- Avoid hyphens and numbers when possible.
- Register fast โ good names run out. Check your name's availability instantly here.
Domain prices in Egypt 2026
.com runs about 750 EGP/year; extensions like .store and .online start around 300 EGP for the first year (watch renewal prices โ usually higher).
Second: Hosting โ Your Site's Home
- Speed: slow sites lose visitors, and Google ranks them lower.
- Uptime: anything under 99.9% means constant outages.
- Backups: can you restore within minutes if something breaks?
- Support: does someone actually answer when things go wrong?
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: registering the domain under your designer's name instead of yours โ the domain is YOUR asset. Mistake #2: free or ultra-cheap hosting for a store that actually sells โ downtime during an ad campaign burns your whole ad budget.
