Its been a big year for us here at Zare.com and we’re incredibly grateful to all our amazing customers. Thank you!

• 300% growth in total servers deployed
• 25Gbps peak outbound network traffic
• 50+ customers protected from DDoS attacks daily

• Introduction of 10GbE network ports and M.2 storage

Whats in store for 2018?

We expect 2018 to be a big year for Zare with planned expansions to Amsterdam, increased network and DDoS filtering capacity, further investment in control panel features like blacklist monitoring, custom edge rules and sub users.
Next year will also see Hydra Communications (Zare’s parent company) move its headquarters to a larger office in Bristol and open a new one in London to fit our ever growing team of IT support analysts, technicians and account managers.
