What aHost does
aHost (operating under OOO SUVAN NET) is a Tashkent-headquartered web hosting and domain name registrar that has operated continuously since 2010. The company is the first and only ICANN-accredited registrar in Uzbekistan (IANA ID 4327) and the only Platinum DigiCert Partner in the country, holding direct accreditation with Verisign, Public Interest Registry, Google Registry, Amazon Registry, Identity Digital, GoDaddy Registry, Tucows, GMO Registry, ShortDot, and the Central Asian country-code registries (UZ, KZ, TM, KG, TJ). It is the largest registrar in the .UZ national zone, managing over 60,000 domains — more than 50% of all active .UZ domains — alongside international registrations across 1,000+ TLDs.
The product stack is anchored by shared virtual hosting in two locations — Tashkent on the TAS-IX network (V-NAND SSD, nine tiers from Nano at 33,150 UZS/month annual to Quantum at 825,000 UZS/month annual) and Germany on NVMe storage — plus virtual private servers (VDS Cloud 10 to 400), physical dedicated servers (Server 32 to 512 on Intel Xeon Gold 6154), domain registration and DNSSEC, SSL certificates via ssls.uz, the SitePad website builder, a reseller program, NFT-backed .UZ domain certificates, and the lots.uz domain auction portal. The infrastructure runs on CloudLinux OS with LVE container isolation, CageFS filesystem isolation, MySQL Governor, Apache 2.4, MariaDB 11.4.5 / PostgreSQL 13, PHP (5.2–8.4), Node.js, Python, Ruby, and is hosted in aHost's own redundant data center in Tashkent.
Revenue is generated almost entirely via recurring subscriptions (hosting, VDS, dedicated servers, domains, SSL, reseller seats), supplemented by transaction-fee revenue through integrated local payment systems (PAYME, CLICK, UZUM BANK, PAYNET, OCTO, Freedom Pay) and government e-procurement channels. The customer base spans individual users, freelancers, SMBs, enterprises, and 500+ government organizations, totaling over 40,000 subscribers and 6,000+ legal entities. Distribution is primarily self-serve through ahost.uz and clients.ahost.uz in Russian, Uzbek, and English, supplemented by a call center, ticketing, an XP loyalty/cashback program, and a white-label reseller channel for web studios.
