Times are bad and the economic crisis is imminent. Electricity is getting more expensive, gas is getting more expensive, mortgages are going up and unfortunately we have to make .CZ domains more expensive. The National Registry of .CZ domains, which is managed by the organization CZ.NIC, z.s.p.o., the monopoly domain administrator, is increasing the price of .CZ domains by 20 crowns per year.

WEDOS Cloud – the real cloud
There is no cloud like WEDOS Cloud
Today on the market (not only in the Czech Republic, but globally), everyone refers to their service as a cloud. However, in the vast majority of cases, it is either just some storage, a regular virtual server (VPS) with a choice of parameters and sometimes with the option of hourly or daily billing – Pay As You Go mode.
But this is definitely not the cloud. In this article, we explain the difference of our new WEDOS Cloud service, which is a true cloud.
This is a true professional IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) service.
We are considering B2B/VIP services
We based WEDOS on services that suit most people, as much automation as possible and the ability to set up everything you need. Thanks to this model, we recently broke the 100,000 active NoLimit web hosts mark. We used to say that we are such a big web hosting factory. We have always claimed that our services can suit 98% of all potential customers. But I’m somewhere different now than I was five years ago, and we’re considering offering B2B/VIP services. Our customers are evolving and growing and we need to respond.
The effect of weather on electricity consumption
We have an interesting chart for you today. In October we could enjoy warm sunny days, but also very cold and cloudy. This is beautifully reflected in our graph of electricity consumed in DC1.

How we modified the network infrastructure or the troubles with IPv6
When we launched VPS ON and the new NoLimit on the cloud solution and HPE Moonshot server enclosures designed for large clouds in the fall with much fanfare , we thought IPv6 deployment would be a matter of months. We had no idea, however, how many complications we would encounter.

How a saboteur cut our fiber optic cable 3 times in one week
So this year we had to deal with the first saboteur who was intentionally destroying our fiber optic cables. Originally we thought it was a complete coincidence that you experience once or twice in a lifetime, but when it happened 3 times in a week we knew we had to intervene.

Every fifth .eu domain in the Czech Republic is with WEDOS
Today we received a regular email from EURid about how we did in September 2018. 499 new registrations and the number of .eu domains we are taking care of for you is already 30.232. But what we are most pleased about is that we have a 19.7% share in the Czech Republic.

8th birthday of WEDOS or what’s new, what worked and what didn’t so much
So it’s been eight years since we officially launched WEDOS. Since then we have come a long way together and changed the Czech hosting market beyond recognition. Yet we still feel that we are just getting started. This is largely due to the new technologies that we are testing and gradually deploying, the ever-growing team of skilled people who are passionate about trying new things, and the construction of the second datacentre, which is still forcing us to think differently. Everything just smells so new 🙂
But let’s take it in order, what has changed in the last year.
Let’s start fresh here on the new website. Based on WordPress, by the way.

blog.wedos.cz
Dear WEDOS customers and fans. Over the last 8 years we have changed the Czech web hosting market beyond recognition and we are definitely not stopping 😉
But we are also changing ourselves. We are improving our internal procedures, switching to new and more modern solutions, and constantly striving to automate individual processes even more and better. But you can’t see most of it, and we’d like to show you.
So far, we have been reporting news from behind the scenes of WEDOS mainly on social media. However, in the last year, we have the feeling that social networks are running out of breath and sometimes we cannot communicate everything through them as we would like.
That’s why we decided to start this blog, where all the information from behind the scenes will be put together and no third party will interfere with it. It will also to some extent replace datacentrum.wedos.com, where we have published longer articles so far.
