WEDOS

What WEDOS does

WEDOS Group SA is a privately held, self-funded European cybersecurity and internet-infrastructure company headquartered in Luxembourg with primary operating entity WEDOS, a.s. in Hluboká nad Vltavou, Czech Republic and additional subsidiaries in Germany, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. Founded in 2010 (with the founders' prior internet-infrastructure business dating to 1997), WEDOS runs its entire stack on owned physical infrastructure — two private EU data centers, 5,000+ servers, 120+ Anycast Points of Presence, and 3,000+ edge nodes — and explicitly operates without external investors or debt.

The product portfolio is anchored on a unified Anycast backbone (WEDOS Global) that powers four core services: WEDOS Protection (multi-layer L3/L4/L7 DDoS mitigation plus AI-driven WAF), WEDOS Zone (Anycast authoritative DNS with DNSSEC, IPv6, GeoDNS), WEDOS EU (NIS2-compliance solution for regulated entities), and WEDOS OnLine (uptime monitoring and status pages). Adjacent offerings include managed hosting (WMS, VPS SSD, VPS ON, NoLimit WP), domain registration across hundreds of TLDs, email hosting with AI-based spam protection, WEDOS Disk cloud storage, and CDN. A roadmap of additional services — WEDOS Email, Storage, Resolver, Zero Trust, MX Protection and Name — is under active development, alongside a 2025 build-out of a second CSIRT team.

WEDOS monetizes through tiered subscriptions (free to Dedicated L7 at €10,000+/month per PoP), white-label and reseller partnerships (up to 50% revenue share with multi-tenant API access), enterprise direct sales (dedicated security analysts, NIS2/DORA reporting, 24/7 phone/Slack/Teams support), and self-service online signup. The customer base of 382,949+ spans individuals, SMBs, hosting providers, MSPs, and regulated enterprises — including Alza, Coca-Cola HBC, Charles University in Prague, Pilulka, UNICEF Czech Republic, and the National Museum Prague — and 400,000+ domains are managed through its DNS systems. The company carries ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 27017 and 27018, GDPR, DORA, and SOC 2 certifications, and processing volumes include 17.6 million cyber threats blocked daily and 504 million requests processed per day across the network.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Radware:
• Akamai: Akamai is the legacy global CDN and DDoS mitigation incumbent, with App & API Protector (WAF) and Prolexic DDoS services. WEDOS's enterprise and Dedicated L7 tiers compete with Akamai for regulated European buyers, though Akamai's footprint spans much broader portfolio use cases.

Direct peers

• Cloudflare: Cloudflare is the global leader in DDoS protection, WAF, CDN, and DNS — directly competing with WEDOS Protection and WEDOS Zone across every tier. It is the benchmark for the Anycast-based edge security model WEDOS has built, but at significantly larger global scale and with US data residency.
• OVHcloud: OVHcloud is a major European cloud and hosting provider offering dedicated servers, VPS, and DDoS protection. WEDOS competes head-to-head with OVHcloud in Czech and broader EU markets across web hosting, VPS, and anti-DDoS services.
• Fastly: Fastly operates an edge cloud platform combining CDN, WAF, and DDoS mitigation with compute@edge capabilities. It is a direct comparable to WEDOS's combined CDN + WAF + Anycast DNS offering for developer-led and enterprise customers.
• Hetzner: Hetzner is a German hosting and infrastructure provider with owned data centers offering dedicated servers, VPS, and managed hosting. It overlaps directly with WEDOS's VPS, hosting, and infrastructure offerings for European SMBs and developers.
