· Updated
Leaseweb is a Netherlands-based infrastructure provider founded in 1997, now operating 20,000+ dedicated servers across 17 datacenters in Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and South Africa. The company is built for high-throughput workloads, its Amsterdam datacenters connect directly to AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange), one of the world’s busiest internet exchange points.
Network
Leaseweb operates its own AS (Autonomous System) and peers directly at major internet exchanges including AMS-IX, DE-CIX, LINX, and AMSIX. This means lower latency and better routing than providers that purchase upstream transit. Bandwidth pricing is competitive at scale, large deployments can negotiate custom pricing.
Compliance & Certifications
Leaseweb holds ISO 27001:2022, PCI DSS, SOC 1 Type II, and SOC 2 Type II certifications across its primary facilities. GDPR compliance with EU data residency options available for European deployments.
170+ Configurations
Rather than a rigid tier system, Leaseweb offers 170+ base configurations with customisation options for RAM, storage, NICs, and operating systems. This flexibility suits enterprises with specific hardware requirements.
Bandwidth Focus
Leaseweb’s heritage is in high-volume content delivery and media streaming. Their network is optimised for egress-heavy workloads, CDN nodes, video platforms, and software distribution. Unmetered 10Gbps uplinks are available on higher-tier servers.
Verdict
Best for bandwidth-intensive workloads and companies requiring EU data residency with strong compliance credentials. Not the cheapest, but the network quality and peering arrangements justify the premium for latency-sensitive applications.
