Limits worth knowing in Leaseweb
- No prices were read: the Leaseweb website loads its pages with scripts and returned no readable pricing.
- VPS traffic above the included pack is billed on the next invoice.
- The knowledge base says VPS use local storage, so a hypervisor failure carries a recovery time, and points to Public Cloud for higher availability.
- It is general server infrastructure rather than a shared web hosting product.
