Leaseweb VPS Experience?

niknik Member, Host Rep
in Providers

I am currently looking into some VPS providers to build my own small CDN with one or two PoPs in USA and Europe as well as one PoP in Asia (preferable Singapore). The network is probably the most important thing together with SSD disks. Leaseweb is offering 1 Core, 1GB RAM, 40 GB SSD and 4 TB Traffic for 6 EUR, and they offer the locations I want.

Has anyone of you experience with their VPS lineup? What CPU do they use, any Benchmarks? Especially with the Singapore region?

Thanks!

    hi,
    why not use some free CDN packages? You should get better performance than create your own

  • niknik Member, Host Rep

    I have developed some system which relies on the log files (who served which file), this is why I have to build it myself. It's also more affordable.

    I'm running 2 Leaseweb VPS (which were announced here - 1 year for X €) and they are running fine. Had 2 outages for some minutes only, they had to update their hypervisor.

    Solid VPS, fast and stable as far as i can say after 9 months now. Running ~ 6 Websites per VPS (~ 100.000 Visitors daily).

    Sounds good. Which locations are you using?

    Have a bunch of VPS at SG that I use for production services. I haven't experienced any outages or h/w related issues so far, and the performance has been pretty good and consistent for close to 2 years now. Highly recommend Leaseweb!

    I have 3 Leaseweb US VPSes and 2 in the Netherlands location - they're one of my favorite providers for VPSes. They've been stable for me (only a few minutes of downtime), fast, great network, etc.

    Here's a geekbench of their Netherlands 1core VPS I did awhile ago:

    I have some production/staging VPS at SG Leaseweb currently, they're good and terrific!

    However since it's not providing SSDs, so I am a bit disappointed on the IOs. Also it would be terrible to do intra-DC data transfer, as they don't provide free intranet/private network to their own datacenter; comparing this to DO/Linode is really a mess.

  • IshaqIshaq Member

    I've been with them for 4 years. Solid operation.

    I run a website that actually earns a bit of money off a Leaseweb NL VPS (since around 10 months) and really, really cannot complain. Very snappy, reliable and one of those "not causing any trouble" things in life. Would recommend them anytime!

  • sibsoftsibsoft Member

    Our customers use leaseweb dedicated adb VPS for their file sharing sites - all good till you will be getting DMCA complaints. IF you'll get too many, they can cancel your server without notice.

    I have a small and highly optimized website with php 7 + database < 300 mb.
    What leaseweb vps would you suggest?
    Is leaseweb 2 core better than vultr 2 core or digital ocean? (specs, network and etc.)

  • GulfGulf Member

    Looks like it is not SSD version. But surprisingly great speed to the sfo location.

  • sinsin Member

    Gulf said: Looks like it is not SSD version

    That is their SSD - all of their VPSes are on their SSD storage platform, they have a limit in place for dd / write speed at least for US and NL but I imagine it's the same for the rest of their locations.

    I've only used their US and NL locations but both of them have been excellent and like @Amitz I have some of my income websites on my Leaseweb VPSes for their stability/network/price etc.

  • GulfGulf Member

    Thank you for your benchmarks. I've ordered the same server for testing and it works really great. Premium bandwidth is really cool.

    Which LW location is better for middle east visitors? Dubai, qatar, saudi.

  • GulfGulf Member

    I've tested a website. Stack: php 7, laravel, percona.
    I should say that Vultr 768Mb is a bit faster than LeaseWeb 1Gb.
