Overview
Beget is a Saint Petersburg hosting company, registered in 2007, that started with shared hosting and has since built a cloud platform. The shared hosting side includes a free plan, standard plans that differ by number of sites and disk space, 1C-Bitrix plans, and semi-dedicated plans. Every plan gets SSH, SFTP, a cron manager, antivirus scanning, isolated sites, and one-click installs for WordPress and 1C-Bitrix. The cloud side offers VPS with up to 64 vCPU and 256 GB RAM, managed MySQL and PostgreSQL, S3-compatible object storage, managed Kubernetes, a CDN, block storage, L4 DDoS filtering and an AI gateway. Cloud resources can be managed through an API and a Terraform provider. Cloud regions are Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Astana and, according to third-party listings, Riga. Prices are in rubles. A third-party listing dated May 2026 shows shared plans from 420 RUB a month and VPS from about 330 RUB a month, while Beget's own site says VPS starts at 510 RUB. Billing is monthly or annual, shared hosting comes with a 30-day trial, and add-ons such as Redis cost from 2 RUB a day. Beget suits small businesses, agencies and developers that serve the Russian or CIS market and want inexpensive hosting with Russian-language support around the clock. The biggest current concern is reliability. A cyberattack on 2 November 2026 took much of the infrastructure offline. By 5 November, only 60 percent of shared hosting and 40 percent of managed dedicated servers had been restored, and backup storage was still being checked. The English-language market and global reach are also limited.
Our Rating
Who Beget is best for
Good fit
Low-cost shared plans with a free tier and one-click CMS installs suit small Russian-market sites.
SSH, Git support, an API, Terraform and managed Kubernetes cover typical developer workflows.
Less suited
Higher shared plans host dozens of sites, and there are dedicated 1C-Bitrix plans.
Regions are limited to Russia and nearby countries, and the November 2026 breach raises risk concerns.
