yabs please
This is pretty standard right now, especially for low-end VPS, which can cause many abuses.
Just placed an order on the smallest package (4.3 USD/m no commitment). With 4 vCPU and 6 GB of ram. So insaneeeeeee. No way this is possible. Waiting for actual delivery to check on CPU performance. Support said they use EPYC Gen3 (Milan) so this is killer deal
Keep me updated bro. Also track the time of their delivery. Which region did you choose?
They said it will be processed within 1 business day. Placed order 15 mins ago. Seems like order is not automatically processed since they have just launched this VPS lineup today. Maybe they need some time to establish their system
Edit: My region is Singapore
Honest question, why is bandwitch so expensive in Singapore and why are people so crazy about servers there?
Great. No worries.
Not sure about why but it is ridiculously expensive here in Asia Pacific, and providers here use very old and outdated hardware, unlike in EU or USA.
Edit: Also they charge us much more for inferior hardware and less data transfer
anybody knows how's their KYC tho? is that netcup style or Hetzner style or not both?
Anyone got a looking glass?
The main factor is the limited availability of undersea cables and the monopolistic control over internet gateways in certain countries.
I believe is because of the geography of Asia, due to most countries being separated by water, infrastructure will be expensive, man hours require to maintain them, etc. I might be wrong so if someone more knowledgeable can correct me

Good latency to most of Asia as well as Australia. Good and rather direct links to Europe.
Two of the smallest ones. Performance is by no means bad for the price, at least in my opinion, for anything realistic when it comes to workload, the disk speeds should be more than adequate.

Singapore is the regional network hub over there. Pretty much most of the submarine cables converge there so it only make sense to have servers on the network hub.
Singapore is an island city state, the land cost is very high and these costs are passed down to well, whoever and whatever. Bandwidth is just convenient way to monetize. While there are providers upgrading their backends to like DWDM but these upgrades too come with a cost which again pass down to whoever and whatever.
The government there also halted constructions of datacenters for 3 years due to energy and land consumptions thus there is a lot of backlog demands which again drive up the cost, willing buyer willing seller you know. Due to this, companies also start building datacenters in its neighbor, Malaysia thus Singapore likely will become a bandwidth wholesaler while more production servers will be placed in Johor state of Malaysia where lands are abundance thus no worries of not able to build enough power plants.

In regard to their normal bandwidth included offering on dedicated servers (sth. like 5 or 10TB in Sydney and Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan) I still doubt that the 30TB on a vps in Singapore will hold.
I would still expect those: "sorry, we made a mistake, it's 3TB or even less bandwidth included" mails by LW in regard to vps in Singapore.
So @HostDZire I would be really careful in reselling those until the smoke settles. You don't want to end up paying LW prices for e.g. 27TB traffic extra on one vps.
I am idiot, I can't get that to work. Anyone got a IP?
Nvm, saw another reply that got the IP.
I will make sure and ask about this before taking order from clients.
It could be mistake indeed
They does mistake like this alot, their website have lots of error like this.
Yes, esp. with new products or new integrations (like when they integrated that bought up canadian host and those negative prices on dedicated servers in Montreal). All gone up in smoke.
This looks too good to be true. What I noticed with Leaseweb, also on their new public cloud VMs, is that the disk speed is really really bad even for local storage.
The second generation Contabo? XD
They used to use SAN back then with limited IOPS. I bet it's same situation here
The location map below the plans also seems to be wrong. Washington can be selected at checkout but is not shown on the map
Yes, but they advertise "Local NVMe" disks.
@Zerpy do they provide /64 with each VPS ?
Probably not, but I also don't use such fancy technologies such as IPv6.
Seconding this. Can anyone who bought tell us?
Leaseweb only sells to businesses. You need to provide business details.
