Comparez Hostinger et Leaseweb sur les capacités, la juridiction, les garanties et l'adéquation pour les acheteurs européens.
Tous deux listés comme alternatives à: DigitalOcean
Lithuania· Cloud Computing
Needs review
Shortlist Hostinger when you want managed WordPress or a simple KVM VPS with an EU data-center option and a published DPA. Skip it when you need HIPAA or PCI, an EU-only data path, or a custom enterprise SLA. Consider Hetzner or OVHcloud instead for more operator-centric European infrastructure.
Netherlands· Cloud Computing
Needs review
Shortlist when you want a Dutch (or other local Leaseweb) B2B contract for dedicated servers, CloudStack public cloud, colo, or regional object storage, and you will pick the DC yourself. Skip when you need EU-only halls with no US affiliate in the group, a hyperscaler-width managed-platform catalog, or self-serve hobby VPS without KYC. Consider Hetzner or OVHcloud for simpler EU-centric IaaS, or AWS if you need the global managed-service surface.

Selectable European and global data centers
Web and cloud plans can be placed in France, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, or the United Kingdom, or in the United States, Brazil, India, Indonesia, or Malaysia. VPS omits the Netherlands. Location is chosen at setup and can be moved later on web and cloud, but not on VPS without rebuild.
Managed WordPress on LiteSpeed and hPanel
Plans include one-click install, staging, automatic updates, malware scanning, WAF, Let's Encrypt, WP-CLI, SSH, and Git. WordPress.org lists Hostinger as a recommended host. Shared plans isolate accounts with CloudLinux LVE. Not a self-hosted WordPress appliance you run elsewhere.
KVM VPS with root, templates, and a public API
KVM guests use AMD EPYC and NVMe, weekly backups, snapshots, a managed firewall, Wanguard DDoS filtering, and one-click OS or app templates (Docker, n8n, Ubuntu, and others). A documented public API and MCP server support automation. The guest is unmanaged: you patch the OS.
Managed cloud with dedicated IP and NVMe
Cloud plans keep hPanel and add more CPU, RAM, NVMe, PHP workers, inode headroom, a dedicated IP, CDN, and daily or on-demand backups. Aimed at agencies and busier WordPress or Node.js sites that do not want root. Upgrade path from shared hosting is in-panel.
In-house hPanel, Access Manager, and migrations
hPanel is Hostinger's control plane for sites, DNS, mail, backups, and collaborators. Access Manager shares scoped access without handing over the account password. Website migration is a supported request flow for common CMS stacks. Developer tools (SSH, Git, PHP versions) live in the same panel.
Public DPA with a named sub-processor list
A click-through DPA covers hosting, VPS, email, domains, Website Builder, Horizons, and Reach. Appendix 3 lists AWS EMEA, Google Cloud EMEA, Cloudflare, MailChannels, Proofpoint, Anthropic Ireland, and spectra tech UAB. New sub-processors can be added with a 10-day objection window.
Dedicated servers with portal, API, and Instant Delivery
Bare metal for databases, analytics, gaming, and e-commerce. The knowledge base lists Windows or Linux images, Volume or Premium transit, interconnects, and Layer 2 private networking. First orders are phone-verified. Instant Delivery SKUs can provision within an hour; custom builds take longer. CPU cannot be upgraded in place.
CloudStack Public Cloud on KVM
Instances run on Leaseweb-owned CloudStack KVM with general-purpose, compute, memory, and GPU-oriented families. Billing is hourly on-demand or monthly. Local NVMe is faster but slower to recover if a hypervisor fails. Central NFS storage is the higher-availability path. Each instance gets one public IPv4. Extra IPv4 is not offered yet.
S3-compatible object storage with named regions
HTTPS/S3 API buckets at nl.object-storage.io, de.object-storage.io, uk.object-storage.io, us.object-storage.io, ca.object-storage.io, and sg.object-storage.io. Leaseweb says objects are stored in three availability zones. The default S3 region name us-east-1 is a compatibility alias, not a geography. Keys are created in the Customer Portal.
Colocation with remote hands
Bring your own servers into Leaseweb halls. Shared 1U to 5U is only in AMS-01 and FR-01. Private racks and cages are for larger or more isolated deployments. Remote hands are 24/7 and included by default, with higher packages available. Colo knowledge base counts six European halls (Netherlands, Germany, UK), seven in Asia-Pacific and Oceania, and twelve in the US and Canada.
Private network and Cloud Connect to hyperscalers
Layer 2 private networking can join dedicated servers, Public Cloud, VMware products, and colo in the same DC (and some metro pairs). Cloud Connect uses Megaport SDN plus a Leaseweb router to reach AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure from selected halls (including AMS-01/02, FRA, London, WDC-02, Singapore, Montreal, Sydney). Redundant paths are Active-Standby. Delivery is quoted in business days via sales.
Customer Portal, REST API, and Terraform
Operators power-cycle, reinstall, rescue, manage IPs, attach private networks, and watch traffic graphs without a ticket for routine work. developer.leaseweb.com documents the REST API, GitHub integrations, a Terraform provider for Leaseweb Cloud, and S3 compatibility. This is not a self-hosted control plane you run yourself.
| Assurance & compliance | Hostinger | Leaseweb |
|---|---|---|
| Independent security / no-logs audit | Not found Vendor describes internal pentests and a HackerOne-style responsible disclosure programme. No public independent audit PDF found. | Not found IaaS provider, not a no-logs VPN. No public independent audit of logging practices found beyond the named ISO/SOC/PCI reports. |
| ISO 27001 | Vendor claimed Trust Center and security article claim ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Certificate download requires Trust Center access. Not independently verified here. | Vendor claimed Vendor: ISO 27001:2022 via EY CertifyPoint for Leaseweb Global B.V., Netherlands B.V., USA, Deutschland, UK, Singapore, Canada, Network B.V. Services listed: corporate infrastructure, bare metal, VPS, private/hybrid cloud, colo, web hosting, domains. Certificate download promised on the marketing security page (SPA). Independent register entry not retrieved in this pass. |
| SOC 2 / SOC 3 | Not found No public SOC 2 or SOC 3 report found on Trust Center overview or legal pages. | Partial SOC 2 published for Leaseweb Canada, Inc. colocation (Security and Availability, UHY Forbes Andersen). Several entities have SOC 1 Type II (EY / ISAE 3402) covering cloud, dedicated, colo, and web hosting. |
| GDPR / EU data protection | Vendor claimed EU/UK/Luxembourg contracting entities; privacy policy cites GDPR; DPA includes EU SCCs and UK addendum. Confirm entity on the invoice. | Vendor claimed NL entity; Clause 8 cites GDPR and the Dutch UAVG. Transfers outside the EEA only with safeguards. Global catalog still includes non-EU regions. |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Partial European group, no known US parent. Exposure is medium because customers may select US data centers and the DPA names US-group processors (AWS EMEA, Google Cloud EMEA, Cloudflare, Proofpoint). Not legal advice. | Partial Dutch group, no known US parent, but the catalog includes US halls, Leaseweb USA, Inc., us-01 object storage, and optional Cloud Connect to AWS/GCP/Azure. NL Clause 8.3 can keep a Netherlands contract on Dutch DCs if you do not choose otherwise. Assessment row, not a vendor claim. Not legal advice. |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Vendor claimed Public DPA incorporated into the Terms of Service. Parties: Hostinger International Ltd, Hostinger UK Limited, or Hostinger Global S.a r.l. | Vendor claimed Privacy page (search snippet) and NL/DE sales terms: processor language in Clause 8; standalone DPA on request in older DE terms. Sub-processor list on request (NL 8.4). |
| EU AI Act | Not applicable Core product is hosting. Horizons, Kodee, and Reach are AI features inside that product, not an AI-centric system of record. | Not applicable IaaS compute, storage, colo, and network. Public Cloud lists small-scale GPU/inference instance types, but the offering is not an AI system product. |
| HIPAA / PCI environment | Not applicable Hosting agreement: services are not intended to provide a PCI or HIPAA compliant environment. | Non indiqué |
| PCI DSS | Non indiqué | Partial Vendor: PCI DSS 4.0 scoped to physical security at named DCs (AMS-01, FRA-01, LON-01, SIN-01, WDC-02, MTL-01/02/03). Services are not meant to process card data by default. |
| NEN 7510 | Non indiqué | Vendor claimed Vendor: EY statement for Leaseweb Netherlands B.V. at AMS-01 (physical security, IS policy, risk, resilience, incidents, service deployment). Not inherited by the customer. |
| CISPE IaaS Code of Conduct | Non indiqué | Vendor claimed Historical CISPE member listing and lobbyfacts affiliation. Current CISPE public register was not confirmed to contain a live Leaseweb service declaration in this pass. |
| Considerations & known limitations | Hostinger | Leaseweb |
|---|---|---|
| Optional non-EU hosting regions | Medium US, Brazil, and Asia data centers are first-class options. An operator can place production outside the EEA at checkout. Lock region in procurement if residency is required. | Non indiqué |
| US-group cloud, CDN, email, and security vendors | Medium Even an EU VM still depends on AWS EMEA, Google Cloud EMEA, Cloudflare, Proofpoint, MailChannels, plus Google/Meta marketing tools. This is why CLOUD Act exposure is not low. | Non indiqué |
| Cyprus contract vs Lithuanian operations | Low HQ and affiliates are Lithuanian; EU paper is usually Hostinger International Ltd (Cyprus). Invoices may also be charged by other group entities. Confirm the contracting party before security review. | Non indiqué |
| ISO 27001 certificate not independently verified here | Low The cert is claimed on the Trust Center but gated. Download it before treating ISO as verified. | Non indiqué |
| Customer still owns CMS, guest OS, and backups | Medium VPS is unmanaged. Terms require you to keep your own backups even when Hostinger offers weekly copies. Shared and cloud plans are not HIPAA/PCI environments. | Non indiqué |
| Global catalog includes US halls and a US affiliate | Non indiqué | Medium Even with a Dutch contractor and NL Clause 8.3, the product menu includes US dedicated halls, us-01 object storage, and Leaseweb USA, Inc. Buyers with a residency ban must lock region and entity in the order, not rely on the brand name. |
| No public IaaS subprocessor register | Non indiqué | Medium NL terms authorise EEA affiliates and other third parties as sub-processors, with the actual list on request. Known optional paths: Megaport plus AWS/GCP/Azure (Cloud Connect) and Acronis (Public Cloud backup row). Website marketing also uses US SaaS (outside the IaaS path). |
| Certification scope is entity- and service-specific | Non indiqué | Low ISO is claimed for listed IaaS services, not automatically for every SKU. SOC 2 is Canada colo. PCI is physical security only. Customers are not certified by association. |
| Public Cloud / VPS IPv4 and Elastic Compute end of sale | Non indiqué | Low Docs: one public IPv4 on Public Cloud and VPS, extras not yet available. Elastic Compute is end of sale. Dedicated CPU cannot be upgraded without a new server. |
When: You want German-operated dedicated servers, object storage, or more operator-centric VPS without a consumer website-builder overlay
Consider: Hetzner
Hetzner is in the catalog as German web hosting and cloud.
When: You need a large European public cloud with many regions and a stronger IaaS and public-sector posture
Consider: OVHcloud or IONOS
Both are catalog EU clouds; IONOS also covers consumer-style web hosting.
When: You need US-centric SMB WordPress hosting already familiar to North American agencies
Consider: GoDaddy or Bluehost
Different jurisdiction. Useful only if European contracting is not a filter.
When: You want a larger managed-cloud catalog (IAM, managed databases, serverless) and accept a US parent
Consider: Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform
Different jurisdiction and product surface. Leaseweb stays IaaS-classic.
When: You want European IaaS with a simpler EU-centric hall list and strong self-serve dedicated servers
Consider: Hetzner or OVHcloud
Still diligence their own non-EU options. Neither is a Leaseweb contract.
When: You want French public cloud with object storage and more developer-cloud SKUs
Consider: Scaleway
Different product mix. Confirm current regions on Scaleway's site.
When: You mainly need a German-group host with a broad SMB catalog
Consider: IONOS
Different ownership and SKU mix than Leaseweb's local-entity IaaS model.
When: You actually needed global content delivery, not origin compute
Consider: Leaseweb CDN
Same group, different data path (partner CDNs and a Washington D.C. shield).
