Description
This article describes the available network types for the Leaseweb services.
Contents
Network types
Leaseweb offers two network choices for your server—Premium and Volume, each with its own strong points.
Both Volume and Premium have the same network architecture and are fully redundant.
Depending on the service you’re hosting, this article can help you to decide which one is most suitable.
Premium network
The Premium package uses full mix of Tier 1 Transit providers and peering, using a quality-optimized routing approach and allowing customers to request routing adjustments to specific networks.
This delivers superior service availability (uptime), latency (speed), packet loss (quality) and flexibility.
The Premium package comes with an improved Service Level agreement (SLA) for Network Availability. For more information, please refer to our Legal page (Support and Service Level Schedule – Chapter D).
Use case: applications and services that need high performance (uptime, low latency, low packet loss) – e.g. gaming, AdTech/MarTech, (broadcast quality) video
Volume network
The Volume type may use a limited mix of Transit providers and peering and routes Internet traffic in a best effort approach, using a cost-optimized standard traffic routing (actual routing depends on the location).
Use case: applications and services with less stringent performance requirements (e.g. back-up service)
