Leaseweb Public Cloud Instances are virtual servers that provide a range of options for different types of workloads, including General Purpose, Compute Optimized, and Memory Optimized. Each instance belongs to a specific family, which determines the computational specifications assigned to it, such as compute power, storage, and network capabilities. You can choose to pay for these instances on an hourly or monthly basis.
Leaseweb Public Cloud is built on secure infrastructure and is supported by our premium network, offering user-friendly and reliable cloud solutions.
How can your business benefit from Public Cloud?
Host a highly available application or website
If you would like to establish an online presence through a website or web application, Leaseweb public cloud is a great option. We offer reliability, scalability, and flexible costs.
Load balancer to distribute load across your instances
Our load balancer is a powerful tool that allows you to set rules on how incoming traffic is distributed, providing sticky sessions based on round-robin, least connections, or source IPs. This means that as your web application grows, you can ensure your services remain available and responsive to your users. Additionally, the load balancer offers a range of features that further enhance the availability of your services. These include health checking, SSL offloading, idle time out, and keep-alive. With all these capabilities in place, you can rest assured that your web application will perform optimally, even in heavy traffic.
Auto-scaling of your instances
This feature provides you with various hands-free options to scale up your application as it grows. You can easily configure your scalability with three options: manual, scheduled, or based on CPU load. This will ensure that instances are created or deleted dynamically to support optimal application performance, while avoiding charges for unused capacity and enhanced reliability when you experience a surge in workloads.

Our Public Cloud offers two billing methods for instances. For hourly instances, customers are billed at the end of the month for the hours consumed during that period. This is a post-paid model where customers pay based on their actual usage.
On the other hand, for committed instances, customers are invoiced upfront for the next billing period. This is a pre-paid model where customers commit to a specific number of resources for a set duration and receive an invoice accordingly.
