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.

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 🙂 .

In October, we mainly tuned the content caching. We have made great progress, especially with WordPress sites. We can return any static content in thousandths of seconds after receiving a request from the user, while checking if it is up-to-date in units of seconds up to 60 seconds (depending on the tariff). The average site on WEDOS Global Protection has increased in speed by approximately 48%.

In September, we also saw an increase in the number of attacks compared to the holiday months. In today’s report we will look at the “stronger” DDoS attacks on L3/L4 and probably the strongest L7 DDoS attack so far in terms of number of requests per minute. Of course, we will also discuss the building of WEDOS Global Protection and what we are currently working on.

Today we’ll show you how we use data aggregation to evaluate attacks.

The second holiday month was definitely not a time of rest. Firstly, we continued to build WEDOS Global, but also had to deal with the increasing activity of some botnets that did not primarily intend to carry out DDoS attacks, but were looking for vulnerabilities. When their requests collapsed at one point, they managed to make some of our customers uncomfortable.

Even during the holidays we did not slack off and continued to build our WEDOS Global infrastructure. We optimized routing in selected locations, continued to arrange new ones and are finishing up some broken ones. As a result, we’re getting better response rates in several countries, and we’re also testing several new features that we’re going to make available to all users. Of course, there were also DDoS attacks, although in terms of number and strength it was more like a holiday traffic.

In June, we again took the entire WEDOS Global infrastructure further. The response has improved in a number of countries and we have added a few new features that we hope to roll out to everyone soon. Of course, there were also DDoS attacks, which we successfully filtered out. Interestingly, despite the increase in sites protected by WEDOS Global Protection, DDoS attacks decreased in June. Looks like our attackers are starting to get away from us.

In May, we continued to build our WEDOS Global infrastructure. We’ve also moved forward with the WEDOS Zone service, allowing you to use only our anycast DNS. WEDOS Global Protection also experienced the largest L7 DDoS onslaught since we have been measuring and recording attacks in detail.
