Best for dedicated servers and cloud infrastructure
Leaseweb rents dedicated servers, VPS and public cloud, with a customer portal and API. No prices are on record, and it is server infrastructure rather than web hosting for a small site.
Who Leaseweb is for
- Fits if you need a dedicated server or cloud servers from a large provider
- Works for teams who manage their own infrastructure
Who Leaseweb is not for
- Skip it if you want a price up front, as none was readable on the pages we checked
- Not for you if you want simple shared web hosting
- Watch out: VPS traffic above the included pack is billed on the next invoice
- Tight if you need high availability from a VPS, which points you to Public Cloud
Why Leaseweb gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo prices are on record, so it sits in the middle by default. Traffic above the included pack on a VPS is billed on the next invoice.
- FFree plan and trialNothing free and no trial on record, so you pay from day one.
- CFeaturesDedicated servers, VPS, public cloud, a portal and API, basic firewall and monitoring. VPS use local storage, so a hypervisor failure means recovery time.
- DEase of useThis is general server infrastructure that you configure yourself.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb customer portal and an API, with no phone or desktop app.

Keep Leaseweb, or make your own?
Your call
Leaseweb sits between: not beyond making, and not a weekend's work either.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- Readings from inside the operating system.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Leaseweb’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Leaseweb?
Leaseweb is an infrastructure provider whose knowledge base describes dedicated servers, VPS built on KVM with NVMe storage, and a CloudStack-based Public Cloud with general-purpose, compute, memory and GPU instances. Services are ordered and managed through a customer portal and an API. Its price pages could not be read, so no prices are listed here.
Worth knowing
- 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.
Key features
- Dedicated servers
- Single servers or large deployments, customizable or built to order, delivered between on-demand and a maximum of 5 working days, with Windows or Linux and cPanel or Plesk options.
- Leaseweb VPS
- Virtual private servers on KVM hypervisors with local NVMe storage, SSH access, optional control panels and 5 to 30TB data traffic packs depending on plan and location.
- Public Cloud
- Instances on a CloudStack-based KVM platform, bought monthly or hourly, in general purpose, compute optimized, memory optimized and GPU optimized types.
- Customer portal and API
- Services are managed through a customer portal with a developer API, and ordering APIs exist for dedicated servers and VPS.
- Basic firewall and monitoring
- VPS include a free basic firewall, and the knowledge base documents service monitoring and data-traffic notifications.
