📄 Editorial Review

Omantel is one of Oman’s most important telecommunications and digital infrastructure companies, with a service portfolio that extends far beyond traditional web hosting. Oman Telecommunications Company SAOG was incorporated in 1999, while its telecommunications roots go back to 1980, when the General Telecommunications Organisation was established. The company became publicly listed in 2005 and continues to have strong government ownership through United International Telecommunications Investment and Projects LLC, which holds 51% and is wholly owned by the Oman Investment Authority.

Omantel combines telecommunications, connectivity, cloud computing, data centers, cybersecurity, managed IT and business software under a large national infrastructure operation. Its hosting-related portfolio includes Web Hosting, Domain Registration, VPS, Cloud Computing, Colocation, Data Center Services, Hosted Email, SaaS and Managed ICT services. This makes it more suitable for businesses wanting an integrated telecommunications and IT provider than for customers simply looking for inexpensive standalone shared hosting.

Smaller businesses can obtain hosting through the A'amali+ service. This package combines fixed business broadband with an .om domain, 1 GB web hosting space, 200 MB email storage, 50 GB traffic, one Microsoft SQL database, one MySQL database and one website or subdomain. Marketing SMS and Mobile PBX services are also included, creating a broader communications package rather than a simple hosting subscription.

The Lana package follows a similar structure for nonprofit organizations in Oman. It includes 100 Mbps broadband, an .om domain, 1 GB hosting, five email accounts, 200 MB email storage, 50 GB traffic, one MSSQL database and one MySQL database, together with Marketing SMS and Mobile PBX.

For customers needing server-level access, Omantel provides Virtual Private Servers with root access, configurable CPU, RAM and storage resources, operating system options, console access and remote start, stop and reboot functions. VPS customers can therefore manage workloads with considerably more flexibility than with the bundled web-hosting products.

The more advanced part of the infrastructure portfolio is National Cloud, a locally hosted cloud platform with more than 30 services. Available technologies include Elastic Cloud Servers, GPU Cloud Servers, containers, serverless computing, image management, auto scaling, managed MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, Redis, object storage, block storage, scalable file services, backup and recovery, DNS, load balancing, VPC networking, elastic IP addressing, VPN, NAT, Direct Connect and migration services.

National Cloud also integrates security services such as Anti-DDoS protection, Web Application Firewall, host security, bastion-host access and centralized security management. Its architecture is especially useful for government organizations, regulated businesses and enterprises requiring workloads and information to remain inside Oman.

Cloud Backup and Recovery adds automated protection for compute, storage and related cloud resources, while Omantel’s wider ICT portfolio includes managed security and monitoring services. The company also provides Microsoft 365, including Exchange email, Teams, OneDrive and Office applications, and SAP Business One for SMEs requiring integrated business management software.

Hosting, domain and cloud services now sit within a wider ICT structure involving Otech and wholly owned Oman Data Park (omandatapark.om). Oman Data Park became fully owned by Omantel through acquisitions completed during 2018-2019, significantly strengthening the group’s managed cloud and data-center capabilities.

The website is available in English and Arabic, matching the company’s strong domestic focus. Service prices are primarily quoted in Omani Rial (OMR), normally with 5% VAT added where applicable.
