A third domain, samaalsham.net, was registered 2011-08-18 — nearly four years before samaalsham.com — and still serves only a static "Under Construction" page. Its A record shares Server B's own reverse-DNS entry, the strongest infrastructure link found for this group. A LinkedIn company page titled "Sama Alsham Holding" surfaced separately but is not independently verified past LinkedIn's login wall.
