- The new products appeal to hobbyists who want full control at an affordable price.

- Leaseweb says VPSs are also equipped with 'latest' generation CPUs
Leaseweb has announced the launch of a new virtual private server (VPS) hosting service aimed at improving flexibility and scalability for customers.
The infrastructure as a service (IaaS) specialist said the new VPS solution is designed specifically for businesses that require a “combination of exceptional price-performance, fast local storage and easy deployment.”
The service will be delivered through a self-service portal, making it a click-and-go solution that requires “limited technical expertise” for setup and administration.
Leaseweb said this makes the solution ideal for businesses looking for an entry-level service to the company's public cloud offerings.
“Our new VPS solution has been designed from the ground up to offer the ideal balance between performance, usability and cost,” said Mathijs Heikamp, Director of Product Management at Leaseweb Global.
“By combining the latest hardware, advanced automation and an intuitive self-service portal, we offer 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 through ISO-certified data centers.
A backup solution is also available, but as a complementary service.
What to expect from Leaseweb's new VPS service
The new Leaseweb VPS service includes six different packages for clients of different sizes and technical experience.
The basic package, called VPS 1, starts at $3.74 (£3.06) per month. This provides users with 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 offers users double the vCPU capacity along with 24GB of vRAM and 300GB of NVMe storage.
At the higher end of the spectrum, the VPS 6 package certainly steps things up, offering users 24 vCPUs, 120 GB of vRAM, and 600 GB of NVMe SSD storage capacity.
There's a big price jump between the mid-range and higher packages, with VPS 6 setting users back $55.34 (£45.24).
All packages in the range guarantee 30 TB of bandwidth and a 10 Gbps uplink, according to Leaseweb.
