Launching a SaaS business in Egypt? Your domain name is your first brand asset—and one of the easiest places to mess up.
Here are the most common domain name mistakes Egyptian entrepreneurs make, and how ZgCodes helps you avoid them.
1. Choosing a Name That’s Hard to Type or Spell
Many Arabic-to-English transliterations can confuse users.
Example: Should it be tahweel, tahwil, or ta7weel?
✅ Fix:
Use simple English spelling with minimal confusion
Avoid numbers replacing letters
Check for misspellings using Google Trends or keyword tools
🧠 ZgCodes helps with name testing tools before purchase.
2. Ignoring Local Domain Extensions Like .eg
Many Egyptian SaaS startups go straight for .com, missing out on:
Local trust
Better SEO ranking inside Egypt
Eligibility for government contracts
✅ Fix:
Register both .com and .eg when possible—ZgCodes offers both with one-click DNS setup.
3. Forgetting to Secure Similar Domain Variants
A competitor or scammer can grab your:
.net, .co, or .store version
Misspelled domain (e.g., accountech.com vs acountech.com)
Country variants like .ae or .sa
✅ Fix:
Use ZgCodes to register domain bundles and auto-renew them yearly.
4. Not Checking for Trademark or Copyright Conflicts
Your great domain idea might already be a registered brand.
✅ Fix:
Search Egypt’s trademark directory before registering
Use WHOIS tools to see domain history
ZgCodes offers a quick conflict-checking service
5. Using Long or Generic Domain Names
Names like mycloudaccountingsolution-eg.com are SEO dead weight and not user-friendly.
✅ Fix:
Keep it under 15 characters
Use a brand-style name (e.g., KashTech, Mizan)
Add a short keyword if needed (KashTech-EG.com)
6. Not Setting Up SSL or DNS Properly
Without SSL, your domain might show “Not Secure” warnings.
Without DNS setup, your emails and site won’t work correctly.
✅ Fix:
ZgCodes provides:
Auto SSL with every domain
One-click DNS setup
Email + domain integration under one panel
7. Delaying Renewal and Losing the Domain
Many SaaS founders forget to renew, and lose their domain to someone else—sometimes even a competitor.
✅ Fix:
Set auto-renew in ZgCodes
Enable alerts for expiration
Buy multiple years upfront for peace of mind
