You will experience raw power when you opt for your own dedicated server resource from Leaseweb.
Our dedicated servers are built to handle the most processor-intensive and disk I/O-intensive workloads, including large databases and big data analytics, as well as latency-sensitive workloads such as gaming and e-commerce. You can expect all the flexibility and scalability of virtualization, plus great security and performance.
Dedicated servers are highly customizable and, if needed, built to your needs. Because of our vast inventories, we are enabled to deliver dedicated servers between on-demand provisioning to a maximum of 5 working days – from single servers to large-scale deployments.
It is easy to control too. Through our Customer Portal and API, you can channel that power in the way that best supports your specific application.
Software
Leaseweb provides you with options to choose from a wide range of Windows or Linux-based operating systems and industry-standard control panels.
Operating systems
For detailed information on the availability of various versions of operating systems for Dedicated Servers from Leaseweb, please refer to the article on operating systems.
Control panels
All our control panels will provide you with the LAMP solution stack. Please note, that not all control panels are compatible with the different operating systems. Please see the table below for compatibility details. For more information, please refer to the article on control panels.
Availability matrix:
| OS / Distribution | cPanel | Plesk |
|---|---|---|
| Linux/ AlmaLinux | Yes (64-bit only) | No |
| Linux / CentOS | Yes (64-bit only) | Yes |
| Linux / Rocky Linux | No | No |

Network
All Dedicated Servers are connected to a state-of-the-art network. For more information about network, please visit the Leaseweb website.
Firewall
For information on firewall options for your Dedicated Server, refer to the article on firewall.
IP addresses
For information about the limit of IPv4 addresses for Dedicated Servers, refer to the article on IPv4. For details on obtaining IPv6 addresses for your Dedicated Server, refer to the article on IPv6.
Network types
Leaseweb offers two network choices for your server—Volume and Premium. The Volume network offers one or more default Tier1 transit providers and selected peering connections, and is engineered to provide a cost-efficient solution to high bandwidth needs. The Premium network offers full redundancy on all routers and uses multiple quality Tier1 transit providers, as well as private and public peering. For more information on the network types and the network type availability matrix, refer to the article on network types.
Bandwidth
Leaseweb offers you to choose between three different forms of bandwidth billing, each suitable for different kinds of bandwidth usage. All three options are available on both our Volume and Premium networks. For more information on our billing options, refer to the article on bandwidth billing.
Interconnects
If your servers are located in the same data centre, Leaseweb can set up an interconnect between these networks. An interconnect will add a dedicated in-house cable connection between your networks and can be achieved between servers that are in the same rack or between racks that are in the same data centre. Traffic sent between servers across this interconnection will not count towards your bandwidth costs.
Private Networking
If you would like to have a connection between your networks but do not require a dedicated in-house cabling solution, it is possible to configure a private network. This will use the infrastructure that is already present at the data center to make a connection between your networks. For more information on private networks for your Leaseweb servers, refer to the article on Private Network. For more specific instructions on how to set up private networking through the customer portal, refer to the article on Managing private network for your dedicated server.
Service Level Agreement (SLA)
To keep your data connected 24/7, Leaseweb’s Basic Service Level Agreement is provided at no additional charge. For additional support, there are multiple levels of SLAs. For further information, refer to the article on SLA.
Upgrades and downgrades
Upgrade/downgrade matrix:
| Service | Upgrade | Downgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth | Yes 1 | Yes 1 |
| Uplink Port Speed | Yes 1 | Yes 1 |
| HDD | Yes 2 | Yes 2 |
| CPU | No | No |
| Memory | Yes | Yes |
2. Requires downtime when hot-swapping is not possible. Leaseweb will not migrate your data
Relocate server
It is possible that an upgrade requires a server to be relocated. In that case, your server will also receive new IP addresses. These will always be announced to you in advance, and the timing of the relocation can be scheduled with our support department.
Delivery time
An order placed through the website is first verified by us over the phone. This is a one-time verification process applicable only to your first order. Once verified, the order will be delivered, fully automated. Our Dedicated Servers can be deployed in as little as a few hours. Delivery of custom configurations takes longer (7-10 business days).
If you like to have a guaranteed fast deployment of a server, you can consider ordering an Instant Delivery Dedicated Server that can provisioned within an hour.

Product Life Cycle Phases for Leaseweb Dedicated Servers
Leaseweb maintains a Product Life Cycle process to manage the use, development and maintenance of the dedicated servers we provide. These life cycle stages dictate how a server is handled and supported within Leaseweb. We have defined the following life cycle stages.
Active
Active server models are actively procured and offered by Leaseweb. Active servers are of course fully supported and can be (re-)ordered from our vendors for additional supply when needed.
End of Procurement
Server models which are End of Procurement are actively offered by Leaseweb, but they are no longer procured from vendors. Most often they have been replaced by a successor. Servers in this stage are fully supported by Leaseweb.
End of Sales
Servers which are End of Sales are no longer being offered by Leaseweb. We will still fully support the use of these servers for our customers who are using them. But we will offer a successor model for additional orders or when a server needs to be replaced.
End of Full Support
When a server model becomes End of Full Support it means the server model itself and the CPU are no longer supported by Leaseweb support. Issues with either of these items will lead to a replacement of the server with a substitute model of equivalent or better specifications. Hard disk and memory are still supported and replaced if required.
End of Support
When a server model becomes End of Support it means the server model and all components including hard disk and memory are no longer supported by Leaseweb support. You are requested to take action and migrate to a replacement server model. Please contact us to decide on a substitute and suitable migration.
When one of your servers moves to the End of Full Support or End of Support phase, we will communicate this to you in an email to keep you informed.
