Hosting provider Beget has announced a set of upcoming changes to its services, scheduled to take effect on April 9, 2026. The update touches multiple areas at once — from network performance to pricing logic and the way public IP addresses are handled.
The overall picture looks less like a single upgrade and more like a systematic cleanup of how infrastructure is packaged and billed.
Faster Network: Up to 1 Gbps
For servers located in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, the provider will increase network bandwidth from 250 Mbps to 1 Gbps. A fourfold jump is one of those rare upgrades that requires little interpretation.
In practical terms, this should improve data transfer speeds and reduce the chances of network bottlenecks. Although, as experience suggests, bottlenecks have a habit of reappearing elsewhere once the obvious ones are removed.
Public IP Addresses Become Optional
One of the more noticeable changes involves public IP addresses. They will no longer be included in the base price of virtual servers and will instead be offered as a separate paid option with a unified price across all configurations.
The logic is straightforward: pay only for what is actually used. Users will also gain the ability to detach and reassign IP addresses between servers through the control panel.
For cloud databases, however, public IP addresses will remain included in the service cost.
Updated Configurations and Domain Pricing Changes
Beget has also revised its cloud service configurator, making it more linear and adding new configuration options alongside updated pricing. These changes do not affect traditional shared hosting plans, which remain untouched by the overhaul.
In addition, the company confirmed adjustments to pricing for domain registration and renewal in the .ru and .рф zones. The reason is external: updates introduced by the Technical Center of Internet, which typically cascade down to providers and registrars.
As a result, customers will encounter a mix of changes across the platform. Some services will become faster, others more flexible, and a few simply more expensive — a combination that the hosting industry has long treated as business as usual.
