Leaseweb is a Dutch Infrastructure-as-a-Service group. For the Netherlands you sign a B2B sales contract with Leaseweb Netherlands B.V. (Chamber of Commerce 30141839) at Hessenbergweg 95, 1101 CX Amsterdam. The public website is operated by Leaseweb Global B.V. (KvK 60593652) at the same address. Other local sales companies exist in Germany, the UK, the United States, Canada, Singapore, and elsewhere.

The core platform is dedicated (bare metal) servers, Public Cloud instances on a CloudStack-based KVM platform, VPS on local NVMe, colocation, S3-compatible object storage, and a Layer 2 private network. Leaseweb CDN is a separate Multi-CDN product and has its own catalog page. This page is about compute, storage, colo, and network.

The practical differentiator is a local Dutch (or other local) contract plus customer-chosen datacentres on Leaseweb's published footprint. Dedicated servers are listed in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Montreal, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney, and nine US metros including Washington D.C. Object storage publishes regional endpoints nl-01, de-01, uk-01, us-01, ca-01, and sg-01. The February 2026 Netherlands sales terms say that, for that entity, customer data is stored and processed in Dutch datacentres unless law, written authorisation, or the customer's own action moves it. That clause does not make the global catalog EU-only.

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.

Key capabilities

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Best fit when

  • Teams that want a KvK-identifiable Dutch contractor (Leaseweb Netherlands B.V.) for IaaS, not a US parent
  • Operators placing dedicated servers or colo in named halls (Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, plus optional non-EU cities)
  • Workloads that need CloudStack KVM or S3-compatible buckets with an explicit nl-01 / de-01 / uk-01 endpoint
  • Hybrid designs that keep origin on Leaseweb metal and optionally Cloud-Connect to AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure
  • Buyers who will use the Customer Portal, REST API, or Terraform rather than a fully managed PaaS

Poor fit when

  • Organisations that forbid any US group company, US datacentre option, or US-region object storage in the same vendor catalog
  • Teams that need extra public IPv4 on Public Cloud or VPS (docs: one IPv4, extras not yet available)
  • Buyers looking for a self-hosted control plane or an open-source product they operate themselves
  • People who actually wanted Leaseweb Multi-CDN rather than compute and colo
  • Hobby or consumer hosting: NL terms state B2B only, with KYC on first order

Consider instead when

  • 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).

Considerations & known limitations

  • MediumGlobal catalog includes US halls and a US affiliate

    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.

  • MediumNo public IaaS subprocessor register

    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).

  • LowCertification scope is entity- and service-specific

    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.

  • LowPublic Cloud / VPS IPv4 and Elastic Compute end of sale

    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.

Open questions for due diligence

  • For the SKUs we will buy, what is the current ISO 27001 statement of applicability (and is object storage in scope)?
  • Will Leaseweb issue the current sub-processor list for this order, including Acronis and Megaport if used?
  • Can the contract freeze region to named EU halls and forbid US-affiliate access except as Clause 8.3 allows?
  • What is the current Instant Delivery dedicated inventory in AMS/FRA versus US halls?
  • Is there a live CISPE public-register declaration for these IaaS services?

Domande Frequenti

You can choose Dutch or other European halls. Dedicated servers are listed at AMS-01, AMS-02, FRA-10, LON-01, and LON-11. Object storage has nl-01, de-01, and uk-01 endpoints. The February 2026 Leaseweb Netherlands B.V. terms say that, for that contract, customer data stays on Dutch infrastructure unless law, written authorisation, or the customer's own action moves it. The same catalog also sells US, Canadian, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Sydney capacity. Do not treat the brand as EU-only.

You contract a local sales company. For the Netherlands that is Leaseweb Netherlands B.V., KvK 30141839, Hessenbergweg 95, Amsterdam. The website operator is Leaseweb Global B.V., KvK 60593652. The public law-enforcement page states that each Leaseweb company only accepts warrants and subpoenas from authorities with jurisdiction in its own country. Confirm the entity on the order confirmation, especially if you also buy US or APAC capacity.

The knowledge base claims ISO 27001:2022 via EY CertifyPoint for several entities, including the Dutch companies, covering bare metal, VPS, private and hybrid cloud, colo, web hosting, and domains. SOC 2 is published for Leaseweb Canada, Inc. colocation only. SOC 1 Type II (EY) covers more entities and IaaS-style services. PCI DSS 4.0 is physical security at named DCs, not card-data processing. Ask for the current statement of applicability for the SKUs you will buy.

This page is the core IaaS platform: dedicated servers, Public Cloud, VPS, colo, object storage, and network. Leaseweb CDN (also sold as Multi-CDN) steers traffic across four unnamed partner CDNs with NS1 Pulsar and origin shields in Amsterdam and Washington D.C. CDN has a different data path and a separate EuropeanStack article. Do not treat a Multi-CDN contract as EU-resident compute.

Public Cloud is CloudStack KVM with hourly or monthly billing and a hypervisor-restart story when you use central storage. VPS uses the same local-NVMe public-cloud platform and the docs warn of longer recovery if a hypervisor fails. Dedicated is a whole machine you can reinstall from the portal, with Instant Delivery options. Public Cloud and VPS are documented with one public IPv4 and no extra IPv4 yet. Dedicated has a separate IPv4 limit article. Elastic Compute is end of sale.

Yes for the contract path. Clause 8 of the February 2026 Netherlands B2B terms is the processor language (GDPR and the Dutch UAVG). Older entity terms also say Leaseweb will provide its Data Processing Agreement on request. Sub-processors (EEA affiliates and other third parties) have general written authorisation; the customer can request the actual list for ordered services. Cloud Connect (Megaport, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) and the Acronis backup row on Public Cloud should be on that diligence list if you use them.
