    If you try to order a vps from their german location, you get the following message

    Please note that LeaseWeb Deutschland GmbH does not provide services or products to consumers. If you continue your order at LeaseWeb Deutschland GmbH, you declare that you are either a natural person acting as a professional (i.e. not as a consumer) or acting for and on behalf of a legal entity.

    • I’m Rogier from LeaseWeb. You’re correct that LeaseWeb GmbH (Deutschland) only sells to companies (B2B). Hopefully we’ll be able to sell to consumers soon! For now, as a consumer you’ll be able to order an Express Cloud in the United States or Netherlands.

      Just ordered a VA node to see how it performs – it took about 21 minutes from Paypal order to getting the IP address of the server. This is my first Lease Web experience, so it took me 5 minutes to find where they hide the default root password. Now that I am on the node, I think I can feel everyone “bench marking at once”, so I will not judge the nodes performance just yet ;)

      Otherwise, the control panel and system are quite professional – I like the fact you can null route IP’s from the control panel is nice, and of cource the usual like rDNS, can be modded here.

      As someone else mentioned, there is no VNC or anything, so I guess you are stuck with what they offer as far as OS images are concerned. So far so good though, no real complaints.

    We’ve got a VPS from LeaseWeb in The Netherlands, can say it performs good and it hasn’t gone offline since we’ve got it :)

  6. I have one,the control panel has single function,

    Only through the support ticket reinstall. no VNC, no CDROM

    Is there any guarantee uptime? Also if i dont have VNC, its mean i cant install custom OS?

    • Richard:

      And 1000Mbit Port Speed. Each VPS has dedicate 1Gbps port or what?

      January 18, 2013 @ 3:58 pm | Reply
      • Thanks for your questions. We offer our Best Effort SLA with the Express Cloud. There is no guaranteed uptime. Furthermore, we offer SSH/RDP access for Linux/Windows machines. We don’t offer Console or custom OS installation currently. Lastly, as the platform is shared (public cloud), the 1Gbps port is not dedicated.

      • 1Gbit dedi port for each LEB VPS … get real …

  8. Thanks Liam for posting this offer which seems to be an amazing one.
    Got myself a box in US location just now, benchmarking it and will post results soon

    Right now, I was a bit disappointed to see everything being done via Support tickets only and the ones that are suppose to be done by support-tickets are available as options (rDNS, Null route and IPv4)

    lets see how the box performs

      Regarding IPv6 — I contacted LeaseWeb support and had a /64 assigned to my host in VA(USA) within the hour.

  13. My serverbear.com test result http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/01/18/UOXs0HX6pPo8E1BH
    Although its good from other VMs that I owe but still is no match for my other KVM 512MB benchmark (probably because it has two vCPU cores)

    • Interesting to see the might leaseweb post an offer here :)

      Although the raw numbers show a little below average if anything my thoughts on leaseweb were always that it is all about the quality of the network.

      Great work and hats off to who ever convinced them to make an offer :)

        Note that those serverbear benchmarks have been made on a platform that has been expanded quite a bit to allow for more performance. I’ll contact the serverbear guys to get those benchmarks redone. In the mean time, feel free to do your own and post them here :)

        • ServerBear.com is a free service which anyone can run on their VPS/Dedicated and they post the results on their website.

          If you want, I can rerun the benchmark.

        @Asim and @Anthony those things can’t be directly compared. SAN storage I/O latency will show almost always worse result in those tests compared with DAS however things can drasticly change in SAN favour under high load.

        • Robert van der Meulen:

          You’re right. We had a long thought about the centralised vs. local storage, but opted for central. Your latencies will be higher if you run ‘off the shelf’ NFS or iSCSI, but there are ways to fix that – in our case we use the fastest drives we can find, add stacks of SSD’s for seperate read/write caching, and run physically seperate networks (redundant and on fast switches) that are only used for storage.
          That gives us nice performance – with the added benefit of a more redundant setup.

    Hi all,

    Hope you’re enjoying the offer :) I’m responsible for the public cloud products at LeaseWeb, and will be keeping an eye on this thread for anything we can use to make the product better – so let us know if you have anything to say: good or bad.

    I saw a few things already – and I’m glad to say most of it is already on its way. For us it’s simple: we gain customers by making people happy with their products and services, so keep the suggestions going so we can build what you need.

      You’re right about Administration.
      It happens every once in a while that a customer accidentally orders in the wrong country – I’m not aware of any bug causing that. Sure you didn’t mis-click?
      I do realise you’d like to use your US cloud, so let’s fix that first – if you can contact me (email address above), I’ll make sure you get a fresh cloud on the US platform (i might ask you to order again), and we’ll make sure to credit you for the incorrect one when the work-week starts again, so you don’t have to pay extra. Please include your ticketnumber in your message, so I can find your ticket!

      At least for one or two weeks more, but we’ll go back to our regular pricing at some point in time. We do have a reseller program, and do discounts if you pay further in advance on any order. That said, our normal pricing is not bad at all :)

    • That’s correct. As a consumer you can buy the Express Cloud hosted in the Netherlands from 9 euro. However, the discounts are only valid for the Express Cloud hosted in Germany and the United States. Currently, LeaseWeb GmbH (Germany) only sells to companies (B2B). We’re working on selling to consumers in Germany, but I’m afraid that won’t be in time for this promotion.

      If you would like to peer with us, you should get in touch with our networking department – more info on http://leasewebnoc.com/ . If you’re talking about running a software router (in our express Cloud), and re-using your own IP space on your instances with us, I’m afraid that’s not possible.

    So far, pretty good, but not exactly a lightweight install of CentOS6, at about 120MB memory usage. Lots of preinstalled stuff. And 4GB of swap space seems a bit extreme for a 512MB machine.

    • I’m sorry for the confusion. The offer has ended with the launch of our new Cloud line-up last week. I’ll contact LEB to create a new offer.

      In order to celebrate the launch, we offer discounts up to 50% for a limited time. Our Cloud line-up now consists of Virtual Server from €7 (NL/DE) and $7 (US) per month. Furthermore, we introduced the LeaseWeb Cloud, which includes a Private Virtual Network). This product starts at €13 per month (NL/DE). It will soon be available in the US.

      You can find the line up on the Cloud Hosting overview page: http://www.leaseweb.com/en/cloud-hosting. Our current offers can be found on: http://www.leaseweb.com/en/cloud-campaign.

    LeaseWeb is the most incompetent company ever. I tell you from a 2 year experience of “working” with them. Their systems are down for hours at a time. I recommend you to search further than these incompetents. if you call their support, is like talking to a wall. All you got is some excuses from a lady, several hours, after your instance finally started running again. Pathetic, that’s the best descriptive word for LeaseWeb. If you want pathetic hosting, go with them. Good luck.

    Right now, I have a ping reply of 3668ms. After about 20 min of pinging a LeaseWeb VPS. Now is “Request timed out.” all over again. And this is the norm at LeaseWeb. The worst web hosting company ever. This is a joke.
