Hosting and .uz domains: costs and choices
Domain and hosting are the cheapest part of a project and the most common reason a business loses control of its own website.
.uz or .com
A .uz domain signals a local company operating under local rules, which helps trust for clinics, shops and services. A .com makes sense for cross-border ambitions.
Registering both and redirecting to the primary one is cheap and settles the question for years.
Registration and ownership
The national zone requires documents — company details or a passport — so allow a couple of days rather than minutes.
Register the domain to you, never to the contractor. Studios that hold domains 'for convenience' turn a parting of ways into buying back your own name.
Choosing hosting
Shared hosting is enough for card and corporate sites. Judge response time, bundled SSL, automatic backups and support that answers in Russian or Uzbek — not disk space.
Local hosting reduces latency for visitors inside Uzbekistan, which is noticeable when your audience is here; otherwise pair foreign hosting with a CDN.
