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. - **Category:** Web Hosting - **Made by:** Leaseweb - **Website:** https://www.leaseweb.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a price up front, as none was readable on the pages we checked. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Leaseweb's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## 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. ## Good for - Companies that need dedicated servers or cloud instances from a large host - Buyers who want to order and manage servers through an API - Workloads that need GPU or memory-optimized cloud instances ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: C.** No 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. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free and no trial on record, so you pay from day one. - **Features: C.** Dedicated servers, VPS, public cloud, a portal and API, basic firewall and monitoring. VPS use local storage, so a hypervisor failure means recovery time. - **Ease of use: D.** This is general server infrastructure that you configure yourself. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web customer portal and an API, with no phone or desktop app. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too. - You could not: Readings from inside the operating system. - You could not: An API that other software can build on.
