Beget Calls Suspension of .ru, .su and .рф Accreditation Technical

Russian hosting provider Beget says the suspension of its accreditation for .ru, .рф and .su domains is a routine technical step, and a recovery plan is already agreed.

Russian hosting provider Beget has said that its accreditation for the .ru, .рф and .su domain zones was suspended by the Coordination Center for the .ru and .рф domains and by RosNIIROS. The company describes the move as a "technical measure required by the regulations".

According to Beget, a suspension is neither a revocation nor a loss of accreditation. It is a standard part of the incident response protocol, the company said.

What happens to domains

Under an arrangement with the Coordination Center and RosNIIROS, the dates on which domains registered through Beget would be cancelled have been postponed. The company assured customers that their domains will keep working and will not be undelegated, even if the registration period expires. Registering new .ru, .рф and .su domains is temporarily unavailable.

The "Domains" section of the control panel is already working again. However, the full set of management functions for .ru, .рф and .su domains will return only once accreditation is reinstated. Beget says it has already agreed a plan for that with the registries.

Background: the cyberattack

The suspension follows a cyberattack on Beget on the night of 1 to 2 November 2026. The company says the attackers gained access to the "control circuit of the entire architecture" and ran "zeroing scripts".

Beget says it has restored everything that could be recovered fastest. The provider reports that more than 60% of its hosting is back online; the remaining hosting is still being restored.

For customers, the practical upshot is that existing domains stay live while new registrations and some management features wait on the reinstatement of accreditation. Beget has not given a date for that step in the material available.
