Rad Co.

What Rad Co. does

Rad Co. (راد) is a privately held Iranian web hosting and internet services company headquartered in Rasht, Gilan, operating through the domain rad.co.ir. Its core offering is shared web hosting on both Linux and Windows platforms, with Windows plans delivered via Plesk control panel and all infrastructure hosted in Iran-based data centers. Beyond hosting, the company provides domain registration and transfer, SSL certificate issuance, an S3-compatible simple storage service, and a range of web design and development sub-services including UI/UX design, custom website design, e-commerce website design, corporate website design, internet marketing, and graphic design for business collateral.

The company's technology stack is built on commodity, third-party platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure: customer lifecycle management is handled through a WHMCS-based portal, hosting is provisioned via standard Plesk/Linux stacks, and storage is exposed through an S3-compatible interface. The product catalog combines these hosting primitives with free utility tools (WHOIS lookup, domain suggestion) and paid web design services, positioning the firm as a one-stop shop for Iranian SMBs seeking an end-to-end online presence.

Rad Co. operates on a self-serve, direct-to-customer sales model through its website, with a reseller channel for Linux hosting that extends indirect distribution. Pricing is denominated in Iranian Rials on annual billing cycles, with publicly disclosed Windows hosting plans ranging from 300,000 to 800,000 IRR annually. The customer base is segmented horizontally toward small and medium-sized Iranian businesses and organizations needing web design and digital presence solutions. The firm operates solely within Iran (single-country geographic scope), has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no listed management team, and no public certifications or partnerships.
