Russian hosting provider Beget has launched its first shared hosting sites restored from backups, as the company continues to recover from a cyberattack at the start of November 2026. Files and databases are being restored "actively from the latest available copies directly to the account", according to the company, and customers can manage the process in the control panel.

As of 10 November, about half of the shared hosting servers still awaiting recovery have already been deployed. The remaining servers are at various stages of readiness, Beget said.

VPS backups and domains

The provider has also enabled downloads of VPS file backups through the control panel and has already published around 25,000 backup copies. In addition, it has fully restored renewals of domains in international zones.

The attack hit Beget on the night of 2 November. The company says the intruders gained access to the "control circuit of the entire architecture" and ran "zeroing scripts". By 6 November Beget had brought back more than 60% of its hosting and promised to restore the rest from backups. It also warned then that VPS file backups would be available to only half of users, and that its cloud infrastructure had been destroyed and was being "built anew".

Accreditation suspended

The Coordination Center for the .ru and .рф domains and RIPN have suspended Beget's accreditation for the .ru, .рф and .su zones, the company said, describing it as a "technical measure required by regulations". Beget says it has already agreed a plan for reinstating the accreditation.

For customers, the key signals are that site restoration from backups has started and that international domain renewals work again. Domain operations in the Russian zones remain tied to the accreditation process.
