Last Thursday, we presented at the ITSW conference in Prague on a critical topic: the evolution of volumetric DDoS attacks. While these attacks used to be rare, current data shows they are becoming increasingly frequent and more powerful. However, the risk of upstream saturation is often underestimated.

In February, we launched the global WEDOS ARM expansion campaign. We approached nearly 2000 datacenters, IXPs and major ISPs with the request to “densify” our WEDOS Global infrastructure.

When it comes to the number of hosted domains, WEDOS is one of the largest hosting companies in Europe. Our shared web hosting alone hosts a total of 153,843 domains, thousands more are on WMS and WEDOS WebSite. We collect data from all of these hosting services in real time and use them, for example, to improve our WEDOS Global Protection. Let’s have a look at everything that happened on Monday, February 5, 2024.

Over the past year, WEDOS Global Protection has come a long way. Thanks to feedback from testers, customers and interested professionals, we have taken it to a completely different level. From pure cyber protection that protects every website, we have gradually crafted a service that can also use the web CDN cache to significantly speed up the customers’ websites. However, the biggest challenges were brought to us by the most demanding users of the WEDOS Global Ultimate plan.

On the second of January 2023 began the history of the newly founded event department, which was created by the admission of its first and at that time only member, a new colleague Lenka. Lenka has two small children and joined WEDOS after parental leave. At the time, she had little experience in organizing events, so this position was all the more challenging for her.

What if we told you that the largest Czech hosting company, which has pulled ahead of all competitors on the market in 31 months and is still increasing its lead, has no real sales or marketing department? There are no marketers offering our services, no SEO specialists, marketing strategists or other experts. There are actually just 50 of us here, and 5 of them are non-IT people – an accountant, a cleaning lady, two event managers and one colleague who helps with invoicing. The rest of the staff are programmers, sysadmins, technicians, networkers and so on. Thanks to them, WEDOS was created and made it to where it is now.

WEDOS Global, our global infrastructure providing unrivalled speed and reliability in Europe for your websites and applications, has just taken another big step forward. After a successful connection to Netnod, one of the leading Internet nodes in Northern Europe, we have now extended our network to Helsinki (Finland), thanks to a new connection to Netnod’s IXP (Internet Exchange Point).

Our goal was to bring premium hosting services to the Czech Republic at prices that would be affordable for everyone. And we did it! In just 31 months we have climbed to the top among hosting services in the Czech Republic and since then we have been pulling further ahead. But in order keep providing the best service and evolving further, it’s time to take an important step. Inflation affects everyone. Costs are rising at a staggering pace. We want to maintain quality and constantly innovate, so we have to raise prices as well. It’s an investment in the future – in services that run your websites and that you can always rely on.

As awareness of WEDOS Global spreads and more and more new customers who have a problem with DDoS attacks come to us, the more frustrated the attackers become. This leads to more intense attacks on our website and infrastructure. Sometimes they try really hard, earning us valuable data and experience 🙂 .
