Beget (Russian: Бегет) is a Russian web hosting and cloud computing company headquartered in Saint Petersburg. Founded in 2007, it is one of the largest hosting providers in Russia and the CIS, serving over 1.5 million customers.[1] Beget offers shared hosting, virtual private servers (VPS), dedicated servers, domain name registration, and a cloud platform, and is an accredited national and international domain registrar.[2]

History

Beget LLC was registered on October 22, 2007, in Saint Petersburg, by founders Alexander Ilyin and Alexei Manikin.[3] The company's active market presence is generally dated to around 2009.[2] In 2010, Beget developed its own proprietary control panel, replacing third-party solutions.[4]

By 2014, Beget had become the leader in domain growth within the .RU national domain zone and entered the top five largest hosting providers in Russia.[5] The company subsequently obtained accreditation as a domain registrar from the Coordination Center for TLD RU, a process it documented publicly on Habr.[6] As of 2026, Beget is among the top three largest domain registrars in Russia, offering registration across more than 500 domain zones.[1]

In 2023, the company launched what it described as the first AI-powered domain name generator in Russia, began offering VPS services in Kazakhstan, and launched its cloud platform.[5] The company's network equipment is housed in data centers in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, utilizing hardware from partners including Supermicro, Cisco, Intel, Juniper, WD, and Seagate.[2]
