WEDOS Cloud is one of the biggest challenges we have ever taken on. Building a true cloud that can compete with large multinational competitors in the future was not easy. It has taken a long time and we still have a lot of work to do. However, we have reached the stage where the service is ready for a closed beta test.
Right now we are running successful intensive alpha tests of our new WMS service, which we would like to introduce to you today. An open beta test is planned during August, which could then seamlessly transition into a fully functional service. The data and individual settings would remain on the servers for the testers.
This week we had to suspend accepting payments via PayPal. We’ve kind of run out of patience. Why, you ask? We will explain in the following paragraphs.

Our shared web hosting NoLimit is the most popular and most widely used web hosting in the Czech Republic. In the eight and a half years since the launch of the service, almost 174,000 services have been ordered, of which approximately 104,000 are active. In total, we host about 140 thousand active domains on NoLimit web hosting.
Eight and a half years is a really long time for an internet service. You can see that in 2010 we had an estimate and came up with a groundbreaking service, but times have moved on. We have therefore decided to take the next big and important step. We will increase the parameters of the service according to the current requirements of modern websites of today, including a reserve for the future.

This month we launched a “smaller” extension for our NoLimit web hosting, which allows you to increase security or spread the load of your web project.
In the second half of 2015, we launched our IPS/IDS (Intrusion Prevention Systems and Intrusion Detection Systems). At first it was only tasked with monitoring traffic on our servers (it was an IDS). We were surprised by the huge number of attacks. For example, the number of attacks on the WordPress login page (wp-login.php) averaged 8 per second. Early last week (15.4.2019) we compared it and it was already a whopping 63 attempts per second. And we can only detect activity on HTTP so far. However, more than half of our services already use HTTPS.

Our shared web hosting NoLimit has over 135,000 domains (no other hosting in the Czech Republic or Slovakia comes close to this number). The vast majority of hosted domains use common content management systems (CMS). The most used ones can be installed from our administration with one click. Among them, however, one far outweighs the others – WordPress.
So far we have been deploying new versions of PHP fairly quickly, but PHP 7.2 has dragged on a bit. Since the end of 2017, we have switched to a completely new infrastructure. All services run on our own cloud solution built on powerful HPE Moonshot servers with 3.7 Ghz processors and NVMe SSDs. HPE Moonshot servers are designed to run large-scale cloud services and it shows 😉

We have been working on the VMS (Virtual Managed Server) service for a long time. You often ask about her and would like to see her with us at last. The first concepts are more than 4 years old. We have been working on two versions in the meantime, but we have not finished either of them. Either it failed on lack of time and forces for development or simply the chosen technology has already been surpassed. Everything is moving forward very quickly and we have also made progress. In the end, we decided to stick to our motto – we will make the best service that will suit the majority of our customers.

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.
