Leaseweb is a global hosting and cloud provider offering dedicated servers, cloud VPS, CDN, and colocation services across worldwide data centers.

About

Leaseweb is a global hosting and cloud infrastructure provider founded in 1997, offering a comprehensive portfolio of dedicated servers, cloud virtual machines, private cloud, content delivery network (CDN), colocation, and managed hosting services. With data centers across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, Leaseweb serves enterprise customers and service providers who need reliable, scalable infrastructure with a strong focus on network performance and uptime.

The dedicated server catalog at Leaseweb covers a wide range of configurations from entry-level web hosting servers to high-performance GPU servers and storage-optimized configurations. Servers are provisioned on-demand and can be customized with different CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth configurations to match workload requirements. The bare metal offering gives customers full hardware control with dedicated resources and no virtualization overhead, important for performance-sensitive workloads and licensing restrictions.

Leaseweb's Private Cloud is built on VMware technology, providing enterprise-grade virtualization infrastructure hosted in Leaseweb's data centers. This model suits organizations that want the operational benefits of a managed cloud environment with the isolation and customization of dedicated infrastructure. Public Cloud services provide self-service compute, storage, and networking on multi-tenant infrastructure.

The Leaseweb network is built on redundant fiber infrastructure with direct peering relationships at major internet exchanges worldwide. The network architecture is designed for low latency and high throughput, and DDoS mitigation services are included with all hosted products, providing automatic protection against volumetric attacks without requiring additional configuration.

Colocation services at Leaseweb allow customers to house their own hardware in Leaseweb's carrier-neutral data centers, benefiting from the facility's power infrastructure, cooling, physical security, and network connectivity while maintaining full control over their hardware and software stacks.

The Leaseweb CDN distributes content across edge nodes worldwide, improving delivery speed for websites and media assets by serving content from the location closest to each user. Custom domain support, SSL, and real-time analytics are included in the CDN service.

Leaseweb's customer portal and API provide programmatic control over all hosted resources, enabling automation of server provisioning, monitoring, and management. The 24/7 support team and dedicated account managers for larger accounts provide the operational assistance needed for business-critical deployments.

Positioning

Leaseweb is one of Europe's oldest and largest hosting infrastructure providers, operating a global network of data centers across the Netherlands, Germany, USA, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia. Founded in 1997, it predates the public cloud era and has built its reputation on bare-metal dedicated servers, colocation, and private cloud — the physical infrastructure that many businesses still prefer for performance-sensitive and compliance-driven workloads.

In a market dominated by hyperscalers, Leaseweb offers a middle path: enterprise-grade infrastructure with dedicated resources and predictable pricing, without the variable costs and shared tenancy of public cloud. This makes it the go-to provider for gaming companies, CDN operators, SaaS platforms, and enterprises that need guaranteed performance at scale.

Core Areas

Dedicated Hosting

High-performance single-tenant servers for workloads that require predictable performance, full root access, and custom hardware configurations.

Hybrid Cloud

Combine dedicated servers, private cloud, and public cloud resources within a single network for optimal cost and performance.

Content Delivery

Global CDN with edge caching and DDoS protection for media, gaming, and high-traffic web properties.

Managed Services

Operating system management, monitoring, backup, and security services for customers who want infrastructure without ops overhead.

Why It Matters

Not every workload belongs in the public cloud. Databases, game servers, video encoding, machine learning training, and high-traffic web applications often run better and cheaper on dedicated hardware with predictable pricing. Leaseweb has spent 25+ years building the infrastructure and network to serve these needs across three continents.

For companies experiencing cloud cost shock from AWS or Azure, Leaseweb's dedicated and hybrid options can deliver 40-60% cost savings while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability and a global network backbone with over 10 Tbps of capacity.
