BeeHosting – is a commercial web hosting provider and related internet services company. It offers hosting services, VPS, domain registration, reseller hosting, etc., with the legal entity registered in Estonia.
The domain beehosting.pro is registered through an American registrar with private protection — the real owner is not listed in the public WHOIS. There is a similar domain – beehosting.net. It was registered on January 18, 2010. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The owner’s contacts are also hidden via GDPR Masked (privacy). WHOIS contact country: Estonia (per masked record). This domain name has existed for a long time (over 13 years) and also hides the owner through GDPR masking.
It cannot be categorically stated that both domains belong to the same owner, but the likelihood of this is very high. Additionally, it is worth noting that the practice of not showing the real owner in WHOIS reduces transparency for verifying the identity of domain owners.
The legal entity behind BeeHosting (Beehosting.pro) is TechForge Ventures Technologies OÜ with an address in Estonia (Narva mnt 36, 10120 Tallinn, Harju maakond). The owner of the company is Igor Šats (Igor Shats, born on 18.11.1984). Igor Šats was previously the manager and owner of the company BeeHosting OÜ. It is highly doubtful that all these coincidences – are purely accidental. Pay attention to the data about these two companies and their owner from the Estonian service Inforegister.ee.

Nevertheless, the BeeHosting website assures us that «Beehosting.pro — is the best high-speed European hosting provider», although the legal structure, potentially used as a «holding» or service company, shows no real activity or income. The company only has a statutory capital of 24,600 euros.

And it is only for this reason that TechForge Ventures Technologies OÜ has not been liquidated and remains operational. But a logical question arises – how does it operate and with what funds does it provide the claimed «Russian-language technical support available 24/7 via email and tickets from the control panel»?

Although Estonian registration data shows that BeeHosting OÜ as a legal entity has lost commercial stability and has already been liquidated at the time of publication, and TechForge, for at least the last three years, is merely a legal shell without active business. Both companies have very weak credit and business ratings, indicating high risks of cooperation or attempts to recover debts through court.
Evidence that the claimed «European-level hosting» does not fully correspond to reality is also supported by reviews on independent platforms such as Trustpilot and HostAdvice. Users complain about poor service and support.

Among other complaints:
– Billing issues — cases where invoices were sent for services that had already been discontinued, or unclear errors when paying via PayPal.
– Refunds — there are complaints that the company promised refunds but never fulfilled them, and did not provide transaction confirmations.
– Domain management — some users claim that domains were registered under the legal entity BeeHosting, not the client, which complicates transfers.
The overall rating on Trustpilot is around 2.4 out of 5, with many negative reviews among a significant number of submissions. However, on the Beehosting.pro website, a completely different rating is displayed. Here, the hosting boasts five out of five stars from Trustpilot, although this can be easily verified – simply by following the link to Trustpilot.

Regarding BeeHosting, there are also concerns about security and data leaks to third parties. Although there is little public data on this, for example, ScamAdviser classifies BeeHosting as a structure with a low trust level. This suggests that caution should be exercised when trusting the site beehosting.online/beehosting.net.
Additionally, accusations have been made against BeeHosting regarding cooperation with the Russian Federation in the context of circumventing sanctions, supporting infrastructure for Russia, and interacting with Russian authorities. Although the official website, registration, and legal address are oriented toward Estonia, and data centers are announced in various countries (Europe, USA, Asia), which is typical for international hosting companies.
These claims are not supported by criminal cases – at least in the public domain – but they have been mentioned in media publications. Moreover, the payment methods for hosting services speak for themselves – they include cards like «Mir», «Yandex Money», «Beeline», and other purely Russian products. The hosting itself is also positioned as a solution for bypassing «Russian force majeure», hiding behind this euphemism a straightforward circumvention of sanctions.

In this context, one should also consider the information about the financial state of the legal entity BeeHosting – TechForge Ventures Technologies OÜ, which, despite a factual absence of financial activity, somehow manages to maintain hosting operations, and at the same time, for some reason, does not attract claims from Estonian financial authorities.
Also extremely strange is the story of the liquidation of a company bearing an identical name to the current hosting – BeeHosting, and the involvement in this very odd story of the beneficiary of both firms – Igor Šats (Igor Shats), with whom Inforegister.ee strongly recommends refraining from cooperation.
