- New Leaseweb products appeal to tinkerers who want total control at an affordable price
- VPS 1 gets 4 vCPU, 6 GB vRAM and 100 GB NVMe SSD storage with 30 TB bandwidth and 10 Gbps uplink
- Leaseweb says the VPSs are also equipped with ‘latest’ generation CPUs
Leaseweb has announced the launch of a new virtual private server (VPS) hosting service that aims to improve flexibility and scalability for customers.
The Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) specialist said the new VPS solution is specifically designed for businesses that require a “combination of outstanding price-performance, fast local storage and ease of deployment”.
The service will be delivered via a self-service portal, making it a click-and-go solution that requires “limited technical expertise” to set up and administer, which the company says makes the solution ideal for businesses looking for an entry-level service to the company’s public cloud offering.
What can you expect from Leaseweb’s new VPS service
“Our new VPS solution has been designed from the ground up to offer the ideal balance between performance, ease of use and cost,” said Mathijs Heikamp, Director Product Management at Leaseweb Global.
“By combining the latest hardware, advanced automation and an intuitive self-service portal, we deliver a cloud infrastructure solution that can effortlessly adapt to customer requirements.”
The VPS service also provides users with built-in security and reliability features, according to Leaseweb. This includes firewalls, DDoS protection and hosting via ISO certified data centers.
A backup solution is also available, but as an add-on service.
The new Leaseweb VPS service includes six different packages for customers ranging in size and technical expertise.
The entry-level package, called VPS 1, starts at $3.74 (£3.06) a month. This gives users 4 vCPUs, 6 GB of vRAM and 100 Gb of NVMe SSD storage, complete with 30 TB of bandwidth and 10 Gbps uplink.
Meanwhile, VPS 3 gives users double vCPU capacity along with 24GB of vRAM and 300GB of NVMe storage.
At the higher end of the spectrum, the VPS 6 package certainly kicks things up a notch, offering users 24 vCPUs, 120 GB of vRAM, and 600 GB of NVMe SSD storage capacity.
There’s a big jump in price between the mid-range and upper-tier packages, with VPS 6 setting users back $55.34 (£45.24).
All packages across the range guarantee 30 TB of bandwidth and 10 Gbps uplink, according to Leaseweb.
