Wedos started its operations in 2010 as a hosting provider. It quickly became the largest hosting company in the Czech Republic, which it owed to its aggressive marketing strategy. As its popularity and market share grew, it began to experience more and more cyberattacks. An example is the 400 gigabits per second attack that occurred after the Ukrainian flag was placed on the company’s website. Such experiences prompted the company to create its own cybersecurity measures.
Wedos currently offers a wide range of cybersecurity services, including:
1. Veteran’s Global Protection – A decentralized network of servers that filter malicious traffic to various websites.
2. CDN (Content Delivery Network) – A service that accelerates the delivery of web content.
3. DNS (Domain Name System) – DNS server infrastructure available free of charge to all users.
4. Website AI Builder – An easy website creation tool that allows users to create a website with just a few commands.
Industry Trends
Lukas Krsek noted that 15 years ago, cyberspace was more understandable and transparent for IT specialists who were interested in technical parameters of servers and other details. Today, due to the huge amount of available information, users are looking for simpler and more intuitive solutions. Wedos has adapted its services to simplify processes and make them more accessible to customers.
The future of the organization
The company intends to continue its global expansion. It currently has branches in the UK, Germany, Singapore, and will soon open another in Poland. The goal is to offer simple and effective services that will be accessible to everyone, regardless of the size of the company.
Through its infrastructure, the company wants to make cyberspace a safer and friendlier place.
Importance of DNS
One of the key aspects of Internet security is the protection of DNS servers. DNS translates domain names into machine language, which allows users to easily use the Internet. Unfortunately, many companies do not pay enough attention to protecting their DNS servers, which can lead to serious problems, such as website downtime. That is why Vedos offers free use of its DNS servers to increase the level of security on the network.
The transformation of the Czech hosting company into a global leader in cybersecurity is proof of the importance of adapting to changing market conditions and customer needs. With innovative solutions and global expansion, the company contributes to increasing cybersecurity while offering simple and effective services to all Internet users.
