Worse company ever. Stay away

1.0
I used many companies for server hosting. This company is far the worse available so stay as far away as possible. First of all their hardware is terrible and very expensive, secondly their contracts are nightmare. My story start...Read Mores as this. I got a server sometime in my life which i kept that server for 4 years around. When the server was due to end every year I was getting an email and I was arranging the new contract. However, without any notice or any approval from me they decided to revew my contract. So they kept me in a contract for 2 years after the expire of the previous one without asking me or mailing me if I want to autorenew it. I mailed them many times that the server is useless to me as I moved long time ago to another company, the contract was ended and I never sign an auto renewal but they kept ignoring that fact and were forcing me to pay for another 2 years even if i told them to pay the months i had the server and close the deal. I finally got tired with those i****s bureaucrats and accepted because i could not bother more. Then they started charging me extra for electricity increase prices, network, bill 1, 2 etc and that brought the final straw. In order to get rid of them I stopped paying them as I already told them that i do not need the server which led me to a debt collection company which I finally pay and get rid of them. I had to pay extra amount to the debt collectors but I am happy I did that because with the prices raising the money i had to pay to them would be more for something was completely useless to me. They do not listen the customer and they say everything is a contract clause 21, clause 1234. Horrible. Stay far far far away from them.Less

A complete fiasco

1.0
Bought a Windows M hosting plan. They had issues with the Plesk server, so for 10 days our developers were on hold because we couldn't access the server. 10 days!
On the 11th day they still hadn't fixed the problem but found a w...Read Morealk around. Then, the real fiasco began - nothing worked. Constant glitches.
On top of that, you buy a plan, and later on when you find out half of the expected services are missing, support tells you, quoting: "I would suggest to instead purchase a Dedicated Server or a Virtual Server, and purchasing a full license for Plesk."
Given that I have a very simple Wordpress website I have developed in a staging environment and simply had to migrate it, and I was told by their support prior to purchasing that the plan I'm getting suffices.
Fast forward 12 days, we're exchanging emails back a forth, and they keep insisting they can't refund me, even though they completely messed up on their end.
This is the most terrible hosting provider I've not only ever encountered, but ever heard of.

Expert Overview

Hosting Focused on Reliability

Lease Web is a great hosting company that provides high quality services that are very reliable.  They are based in the Netherlands, but have data centers in Europe, the US and Asia.  They seem to have done a great job building up their reputation for being one of the most reliable hosting companies around.  They are dedicated to using top quality hardware for their servers, and keeping everything up to date with the latest technologies.

They offer cloud hosting for most of their customers, but also have VPS and dedicated solutions for those who prefer that.  The company really seems to make it a priority to provide their customers with the exact services that they want.

Uptime & Reliability

Extremely Reliable Hosting

The ‘catch phrase’ of this company is ‘reliable hosting’ and they seem to live up to that promise.  Oddly, I did not see any type of actual uptime guarantee though.  Given their high quality hardware, great data centers, quality tech support and overall reputation, however, this should not be too much of a concern.  They will undoubtedly provide you with a very reliable hosting experience.

Features

Quality Hardware & More

The first thing you’ll notice when looking through their site is that they seem to focus on high end hardware.  They call them ‘Bare Metal’ servers, which are very reliable and fast.  They have the option for SSD drives and are very flexible with the exact features you need.

If you go with a dedicated server, you can customize it with exactly what you need, though they do have a lot of packages to choose from so that may not be necessary.  You can also choose where you want your server located, which is a nice perk.

The cloud hosting solutions are all top of the line and are very fast when it comes to loading your page.  They are generous with the hardware specs as well.

There are some limitations on things like disk space and bandwidth, but they are high enough that it won’t likely be an issue for most customers.  It is something that you should be aware of, however, depending on the type of site you are going to be running.

Support

Great 24/7 Support

This company seems to know that you can’t have truly reliable hosting without great 24/7 tech support.  It is not 100% clear where their IT team is located, so that could be a concern for some customers, but there aren’t any complaints that I have found from their customers so it is not likely to be a big problem.

They also have a great self-help section that will provide you with a lot of useful information for keeping your site up and running at all times.

Pricing

Surprisingly Low Prices

The prices are surprisingly low.  That is not to say they are cheap, because they aren’t.  When you compare the level of hardware and other features you’re getting with what other companies offer for a similar price, however, you will see that the prices are extremely affordable.  That being said, if you don’t need this level of hosting, such as for a personal blog or something, this company may be ‘over kill’.

Summary

Very Nice Hosting Option for Anyone

This is a great company to consider no matter where you’re from.  They may not be ideal for entry level sites, but beyond that, they will meet and exceed your needs no matter what type of hosting solution you need.  They come highly recommended by their users and have a very good reputation.

Pros:

  • Lots of hosting Packages
  • Reasonable Pricing
  • Very Reliable
  • Global Data Centers

Cons:

  • No uptime guarantee on shared hosting services
  • No shared hosting solutions
