Celebrating 20 Years of AEserver – Anniversary Dinner

When you build something over 20 years, you don’t just celebrate with cake and balloons – you celebrate with the people who helped you get there.

At the sidelines of Domain Days Dubai 2025 – the region’s only and most prestigious domain name and web hosting industry event – AEserver marked a huge milestone: our 20th birthday. To honour this journey, we brought together close friends, partners and leaders from across the industry for an intimate dinner experience, as captured in the video from the evening.

This wasn’t just another conference side event. It was a celebration of relationships, trust, and two decades of building the digital backbone of the region.

From Bedroom Startup to 20-Year Industry Leader

AEserver’s story began in 2005 with a simple goal: to make domain names and web hosting local, reliable, and human for businesses in the UAE and the wider region.

Twenty years later, we’ve grown into one of the leading providers in the Middle East, powering thousands of domains, websites and online projects. Along the way we’ve:

• Supported startups taking their first step online
• Helped SMEs scale from local businesses to global brands
• Partnered with registries, vendors and technology platforms to bring world-class infrastructure to the region

The 20th anniversary dinner during Domain Days Dubai 2025 was our way of pausing for a moment and saying: “We built this together.”

An Evening with Friends, Partners and C-Level Leaders

Hosted alongside the buzzing energy of Domain Days Dubai, the dinner brought together a carefully curated group of:

• Top C-level executives from the global domain and hosting ecosystem
• Our close friends and technology partners, including our friends from 10Web
• AEserver staff who work behind the scenes every day to keep everything running
• Business partners, vendors and collaborators who have been part of our journey at different stages

Away from the main conference halls, the atmosphere was relaxed and personal. No stage, no slides – just conversations, shared stories and real connections over good food.

People who usually meet in boardrooms, meeting rooms and expo booths got to connect at a more human level – talking about the past, the future of the industry, and even a few fun war stories from data centres, product launches and “midnight emergency tickets” that everyone in hosting knows too well.

10Web & AEserver – A Partnership Worth Celebrating

A special part of the evening was celebrating our collaboration with 10Web, who joined us at the table.

Together, AEserver and 10Web share a common vision:
simplifying the way people build, host and grow websites, by combining powerful infrastructure with smart automation and AI-driven tools.

This anniversary dinner was also a moment to:

• Strengthen our partnership
• Explore new ideas for joint offerings
• Discuss how we can bring even more value to our customers in the UAE, the wider Middle East and beyond

Our growth has always been built on strong, long-term partnerships – and 10Web is very much part of that story.

A Thank You to the People Behind the Screens

AEserver exists because of people.

Not just “users” or “accounts” – but entrepreneurs, marketers, developers, agencies, corporates and government teams who trust us with something very important: their online presence.

During the dinner, we took the opportunity to express our gratitude to:

• Our clients – from solo founders buying their first domain to large enterprises running mission-critical workloads with us
• Our staff – the engineers, support agents, account managers and operations teams who keep AEserver available 24/7
• Our partners and vendors – who help us deliver secure, fast and modern services behind the scenes

The dinner may have been intimate, but it symbolised a much larger community that stretches across the UAE, the region and the globe.

Choosing Domain Days Dubai 2025 as the moment to celebrate our 20th anniversary felt natural.

Domain Days has quickly become the region’s flagship gathering for the domain, hosting and digital infrastructure world – and AEserver is proud to be both its host and a key part of its story.

Bringing our anniversary into this context sent a clear message:

AEserver is not just a hosting company in the region –
we are part of the ecosystem that is helping shape the future of the internet in the Middle East.

With speakers, sponsors and attendees flying in from around the world, celebrating our 20 years at Domain Days turned a personal milestone into a shared one.

Looking Ahead: The Next 20 Years

If the first 20 years were about building solid foundations, the next 20 will be about pushing boundaries:

• Smarter, AI-driven hosting and site management
• Stronger security and compliance tailored to regional regulations
• Deeper partnerships with platforms like 10Web and other innovators
• More education and community-driven initiatives through events like Domain Days Dubai

The dinner may be over, but the conversations that started that night are still continuing – in follow-up calls, new collaborations, ideas for products, and future editions of Domain Days.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey

To everyone who joined us at that intimate anniversary dinner – and to everyone who has ever registered a domain, hosted a site, attended Domain Days, partnered or worked with AEserver:

Thank you.

You are part of our 20-year story.

And if you’re just discovering AEserver now – we’d love to have you with us for the next chapter.

Here’s to the next 20 years of domains, hosting and digital innovation from Dubai to the world. 🚀🇦🇪
