Fujairah · FJR1

Why Fujairah?

FJR1 is inside the Cable Landing Park on the Gulf of Oman coast, on the far side of the Hajar mountains from Dubai — which is exactly why the cables come ashore here and not in the Gulf. It is the newest site in the fleet, opened in 2023, so it has never run anything but the current Genoa and Gen4 NVMe standard. No legacy generation was ever racked in it.

What it reaches

Transit more than eyeballs. Etisalat gives it Emirati reach and UAE-IX Fujairah the local fabric, but the real job is traffic between South Asia and Europe that would otherwise be dragged through the Dubai metro and back out again.

The trade-off

There is no metro here to speak of. Fujairah is a port with a cable station attached, so the fabric is small and the carrier list is two names, and most of what you reach from this room you reach over transit. If peering is what you are buying, that is Dubai, and it is a short haul inland.

Questions

Questions about hosting in United Arab Emirates

01Is Fujairah far enough from Dubai to count as a separate site?
Physically, yes — different coast, different landing infrastructure, a mountain range in between, and it does not depend on the Dubai metro to reach the sea. Legally, no: both are in the Emirates and the same authority applies to both. If jurisdiction is the thing you are separating, put the second instance in another country.
02It is the newest site. Is the hardware different?
The standard is the same everywhere: Genoa, DDR5 and Gen4 NVMe. The difference is that older sites were migrated onto it and Fujairah opened on it, so nothing here was ever a previous generation. The NVMe firmware batch that failed in Frankfurt in 2026 was replaced fleet-wide, this site included.
03How many IP addresses do I get?
One dedicated IPv4 and a routed /64 of IPv6 with every plan. Up to eight extra IPv4 addresses can be added at €1.20 each per month, assigned from the region's own prefix so geolocation stays consistent. A routed /48 of IPv6 is €2 a month if you are running your own network behind us.
04Is DDoS protection included?
Yes, on every plan, with no separate charge and no traffic threshold. Volumetric attacks are absorbed by hardware scrubbers at the edge and mitigation engages in under four seconds. The advanced tier adds layer-7 scrubbing and rules you write yourself, which matters for game servers and public APIs but not for much else.
05Is port 25 open? Can I run a mail server?
Port 25 is closed by default on new instances and opened on request — send a ticket saying what you are sending and to roughly how many recipients. It usually takes under an hour. Custom reverse DNS on both v4 and v6 is self-service from the console, which is the part that actually determines whether your mail lands.
06Which region should I pick?
The one closest to your users, not to you. Every location costs the same, so there is no reason to compromise. The locations page lists median round trip from residential probes in each metro, and there is a live latency test on every site page. If you are unsure, Frankfurt and Amsterdam reach the most people in the fewest milliseconds.
07Can I move an existing server to another country?
You can deploy a replacement in the new region and migrate, and support will run the transfer for you at no charge if you ask. What we cannot do is move an instance between regions in place — the disk stays where the metal is, and the IP address belongs to that region's prefix.
