📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Leaseweb operates as a global Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider, not a small retail host. The company runs a large international platform with dozens of data centers and a high-capacity backbone network spread across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. The infrastructure is clearly aimed at customers who care about low latency, high availability, and strict compliance rather than just cheap shared hosting. Their platform ties together compute, storage, networking, security, and automation in a single environment that can scale from a single VPS up to complex multi-region architectures.
The core catalog covers Dedicated Servers, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), Public Cloud, VMware-based Private Cloud, Colocation, CDN / Multi-CDN, Web Hosting (Linux and Windows), Domain Names, Backup, Object Storage, and security add-ons such as DDoS IP Protection. Everything sits on top of the same global network and can be managed through a unified customer portal and API, which makes it attractive when a project is expected to grow over time or span multiple regions.

Dedicated servers and bare metal

The Dedicated Server line is the backbone of the portfolio. Leaseweb offers a broad range of bare-metal machines, from entry configurations suitable for small applications to high-end multi-core systems, GPU servers, and storage-heavy nodes. Servers come with enterprise-grade hardware, redundant connectivity, remote management (iDRAC / iLO-style console access), optional hardware firewalls, and standard DDoS IP Protection at network level, with advanced tiers available for traffic-sensitive workloads. Provisioning is largely automated, so new servers can be brought online quickly and then controlled from the portal or via API.

VPS and public cloud

For smaller or more flexible deployments, Leaseweb runs Linux and Windows VPS plans and a Public Cloud platform. VPS instances use KVM virtualization with multiple performance tiers and generous traffic pools (typically large amounts of outgoing traffic with free incoming traffic) riding on the same backbone as the dedicated fleet. The environment offers snapshots, custom ISO support, firewall rules, monitoring, and console access through the portal.
Above that, there is a VMware Private Cloud layer (vSphere / vCloud / HCI). This targets organizations that need enterprise virtualization features, HA clustering, and deeper control over resource pools. The VMware stack is tied directly into Leaseweb’s global network and is associated with high availability targets and fully redundant internal and public networks.

Colocation and hybrid setups

Leaseweb also runs sizeable colocation facilities with options ranging from single rack units to full racks and cages. Customers place their own hardware in these data centers and then tap into the same backbone and peering fabric as the cloud and dedicated platforms. Access management, remote hands, shipping addresses, and logistics are all handled within a structured framework, and there is tight integration with the customer portal so that access badges, support tickets, and network services are all handled in one place. For businesses that want hybrid setups, it is straightforward to combine colocated racks with dedicated servers, cloud instances, and Multi-CDN in the same ecosystem.

CDN, Multi-CDN and security

On the content-delivery side, Leaseweb provides its own CDN and a Multi-CDN service. Multi-CDN is built as an overlay that lets customers orchestrate several CDNs via a single portal and reporting interface, with billing and traffic reporting consolidated. This integrates with Leaseweb Object Storage as an origin and can be combined with the DDoS protection features offered on the core network. For customers pushing media, gaming, downloads, or global SaaS traffic, that ability to combine compute, storage, CDN, and network-level security within one framework is a strong point.

Web hosting and domains

Although the portfolio is dominated by infrastructure services, Leaseweb still maintains managed web hosting for Linux and Windows along with domain registration. Shared hosting is built around the Plesk control panel and is monitored 24/7 by a dedicated shared hosting team. Customers can manage multiple domains, DNS, websites, and email from Plesk while benefiting from the same data centers and network as larger customers.
Overall, Leaseweb is an infrastructure partner that also happens to sell some shared hosting, rather than a pure low-cost shared hosting brand. The platform makes the most sense for customers planning to scale up to multi-server or multi-region deployments, or who already know they need enterprise-grade uptime and connectivity.
