Beget - recommended hosting from the authors of the Russian assembly of OpenCart → review
Beget is the second hosting service in terms of the number of RU/RF domains hosted (more than 200,000 sites), relies on common tariffs and a convenient control panel (original proprietary software, there are ready-made mobile applications). Like the main competitor in the niche, it is an official accredited domain registrar in Russian zones. Has its own data center. Plus, he develops open source software - the Sprut.io web file manager (used to work with files on hosting from a browser).
Beget is one of the few hosts that still offer free, ad-free plans. The offer is very limited in terms of resources, but it is there and may well be suitable for novice webmasters.
Pros:
Large and reliable Russian company. It has been on the market for a long time, actively developing software of its own design.
Installing OpenCart from the control panel, full compatibility with the engine.
A set of specific options, such as Redis and Memcached caching, Sphinx search engine, Ai-Bolit and ImunifyAV+ antiviruses.
Control panel with mobile application.
Flexible setting of tariff parameters (with increasing resources).
Completely free tariff and a large test period, bonuses when moving from other hosts.
Bonus domains (the number depends on the tariff) with free renewal.
Automatic site transfer.
All necessary closing documents for Russian legal entities.
Free SSL certificates and unlimited traffic.
24/7 technical support.
Powerful VIP hosting (for high-load projects).
Virtual servers with automatic backups and a monitoring system (with Telegram notifications), snapshots.
Free web-mail and multi-accounts (you can manage client hosting).
Ability to order dedicated servers with full administration.
Minuses:
There is no possibility of automatic installation of paid control panels for VPS and dedicated servers. Only own or free Vesta is offered.
If you choose a configuration with administration, then simply disabling the option will not work (you will need to transfer data to another server yourself - without administration).
Not the most affordable prices for services. Expansion of resources is possible only when paying for packages immediately for a year.
No manual site transfer.
The free test is provided only for shared hosting (no testing for VPS and physical servers).
Technical support actually works only in the ticket system (other communication channels are used for consultations).
