Excellent service and reliability

I’ve been with LeaseWeb for a while now, and have found them great to work with. I got an excellent price for what I was looking for and am really happy with how it is working out.
Something I've really loved is their customer service - they’re quick, responsive, and helpful whenever I’ve needed assistance. Uptime has been fantastic too; everything just works smoothly without me needing to chase things up or worry about downtime.

Overall, it’s been a really smooth and professional experience from start to finish, and I’d recommend them to others looking for reliable hosting without the hassle.

Fantastic Support, Great Servers

Indrit from team was prompt to reach out when I registered interest for Leaseweb's Public Cloud product, helping me start our free trial by Friday so I didn't have to wait for access over the weekend.

He was highly knowledgeable about Leaseweb's offerings, and was kind enough to take out the time to recommend the right ones for our use cases and setup a trial period for us.

The Leaseweb support team was quick to address any issues, and their VPS product has been extremely reliable to date.

I love Leaseweb! Been with them for a while!

I love Leaseweb! They are there when you need them. There is someone you can communicate with - both technical support and account management. I have tried other services but there is just too many levels you have to go through to get a problem solved. I have had very few problems, but when I do, it is important. Good variety and pricing on their product offerings in addition to being very flexible.

Smooth KYC Process and Excellent Sales Support

Most people complain here about the KYC process, but I suppose it's because they don't read before signing up. The proper KYC procedure is clearly explained, and they also state they work with B2B only. In our case, the whole KYC process took a few papers and was finished during the day.

Yes, they require paperwork and you will need time to review and sign it off, but it's not really a tough task. In exchange, you will get enterprise-grade hardware for very reasonable prices.

The sales team is top-notch (Hey Andrew!). Fast as a rocket, always listening and really on the client's side.
We've got exactly what we need. The next step is to keep growing and extend the partnership.

Please talk with sales before diving in. There is nothing wrong with it. They will help and you will get the deal you need. It's easy to find them on LinkedIn or start from the website.

Stay away from this company and their ridiculous burocratic nonsense

After providing sufficient information about the parent company I represent they refused to activate the service I purchased because I asked it to be under a sub brand which as just a brand has no documentation in my country. Save yourself the trouble, they will NOT activate your service in 10 minutes I have been emailing requirements for a day and a half and decided not to endure this ridiculous nonsense and ask PayPal for my money back. If this is the first contact and they are already trying my patience, I can't imagine what I'll have to go through if I have any service issues.

Reply from Leaseweb

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. As Leaseweb operates strictly as a B2B provider, we’re required to verify that all services are registered under a legally recognized business entity. Unfortunately, sub-brands or trade names without official registration can’t be activated under our compliance policy.

Please note that our 10-minute delivery time applies after KYC verification is completed. This is a one-time process when creating an account with any Leaseweb entity. Once verified, future orders are activated instantly.

We understand this process can feel inconvenient, but it’s a legal requirement that helps us keep our services secure and compliant. We’re continually working to make it as smooth as possible.

LeaseWeb verification system is a joke

They are asking me to verify my personal details and asking 400 AUD, including government ID, address, and business information. The issue is that none of the other providers ask for this much information when buying a VPS for personal use. They claim it’s because of IP blacklisting, but it just feels like an excuse to collect unnecessary data from server owners.

To complete the KYC verification process, please provide us with the following information/documents:

• Business/individual entrepreneur registration document
Official business registration in your jurisdiction which shows the company name and list of directors and shareholders.

• Proof of address document and address of operations
The document must be dated within the last three months. This can be a utility bill, rental agreement, bank statement with recent activity, or a letter from a government authority.

• Information about your business
- a description of the kind of services you provide,
- domain names used by your business,
- any social media presence your business may have.

As a security measure to prevent fraud and abuse of the network we utilize, and in accordance with Articles 7 and 9 of our General Terms & Conditions, an initial deposit of 400 AUD is required to process your order.

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and appreciate you sharing your feedback.

Please note that Leaseweb is a Business-to-Business (B2B) hosting provider, and our services; including VPS are intended for use by registered businesses or professionals. This is why our verification process requires documentation such as proof of registration, address, and business activity.

The 400 AUD deposit mentioned is a refundable security deposit outlined in our Terms and Conditions. It may be requested as part of our credit limit and anti-fraud measures (Clause 9). The deposit is held only as security for future payments and is refunded if an order is cancelled or verification cannot be completed.

We understand that these steps may feel unusual compared to consumer-focused hosting providers, but they are designed to ensure a safe and compliant environment for all customers.

If you’d like us to review your specific case or confirm your deposit status, please share your ticket number so our team can follow up directly.

Dedicated prices are best I have found and support has always been there when things go wrong.

The website is a bit clunky and API slow but the servers are what matters most, so I can't fault them overall.

Our company has been using Leaseweb's services in the FRA-01 data center for four years now, and during this time, we have never had any doubts about our choice of server provider.

They offer the best hardware configurator, and most importantly, Leaseweb offers a personalized approach. This personalized approach is crucial for our business: we can order a custom server and even network configuration, or request route optimization, and Leaseweb always does everything in their power. The success of our business depends directly on the power and stability of our servers and the quality and speed of our network connection, and we choose Leaseweb!
