Hosting provider Beget has lost its accreditation to register new second-level domain names in the .RU and .РФ zones. The suspension, which began on November 3, also prevents the company from accepting domains transferred from other registrars.
The Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ initiated the suspension following a cyberattack that resulted in the loss of Beget's cloud infrastructure. The provider is still required to maintain the functionality of all domains registered before the restriction took effect.
Beget describes the suspension as a standard technical procedure required by the protocols of the Coordination Center, RosNIIROS, and the Technical Center of Internet. The company stated that this is not a permanent revocation of its accreditation.
The provider is currently following a recovery plan agreed upon with the regulatory bodies to restore its full registration capabilities. Beget also confirmed that the expiration dates for existing domains have been extended to prevent service interruptions for its clients.
