[Updated] HostDZire / Leaseweb VPS multi-location VPS benchmark and review
This is going to be really tasty!
I purchased a @HostDZire / Leaseweb VPS in WDC and quite a beast for €24/yr and of course benchmarked it right away. To be honest I was prepared to ask for a refund within a couple of days in case the benchmark results were disappointing. Mainly because I do not need a VPS across the ocean and certainly not a 2nd one but, to a lesser degree also because I didn't know or have any experience with HostDZire yet and the fact that it's an indian company also didn't exactly help (not because I dislike Indians, I don't, but because I've seen quite a few rather shady indian providers here).
But as soon as I saw the first results and had worked a bit with their panel, it hit me hard: no way that I'll give up this VPS!. Plus, HostDZire seems to actually be a really good provider one can trust, no doubts.
Why am I so excited, you ask? See for yourself (based on over 30 runs)!

OK, not the newest and fastest Epyc, but still very decent results, certainly among the best in the below €25/yr VPS class. The single-core result, while not at all bad, might mislead you to think "meh, boring, just another about 200 MB/s thingy" - and you would be mistaken, even double. For one because 200 MB/s single core is a mark only few super-cheap VPS reach, and secondly because, hey it's a quad-vCore VPS and the multi-core vs single-core ratio is really decent.
Plus, you get 6 GB of RAM. Very nice indeed. Plus, you get hw crypto support with actually decent performance!
As for the flags I got what I consider important, except for AVX it seems (maybe a config hiccup?) And no nested virtualization which in my books is a plus but some want that.

YAY, a really decent disk for the low price. 20 MB/s (4k/4t, sync, write seq.) and a bit over 5k IOps is really good enough for almost any workload except heavy DB workload. But I'd certainly not hesitate to put some serious dynamic website on that box. OTOH one might of course argue that a beefy - as in "4 vCore and 6 GB RAM" - should come with at least a 3 digit MB/s disk, and I do understand that and agree, but: hey we're talking about a really cheap VPS here!
Finally of course connectivity, After all one would expect really good connectivity from Leaseweb ...

I'll begin with a side note: ALL targets were reached, incl. 3 (difficult) Iran, 2 (difficult) China, and 3 (difficult) Ozzyland targets (although as usual you only get to see 1 each). That's indeed noteworthy and very rare!
And the connectivity of that - again: very cheap, mind you - box indeed matches my preliminary guesstimate (after only one run or two).
I'll split it into continents:
Europe - Not bad at all. Those numbers - from across the ocean, mind you - are in the range of what I typically see when benchmarking european VPS. OK, there are no 300 or 500 Mb/s peaks, but neither are there ugly valleys, with one single exception: CH, Geneva. Nope, consistently about 100 Mb/s to 150 Mb/s, except for Romania and Russia, and even those targets show a quite respectable about 90 Mb/s result.
Very nice, me perfectly happy with that.
Asia / Oceanina - quite decent results as well and some, e.g. Japan and Ozzyland, even really good, at least from my Europe-centric perspective. And again all target were reached, incl. a few difficult ones (as in "rarely reached"). Obviously someone who wanted or needed to have seriously good connectivity in the Asia and Oceania region would get a VPS there, but for most of us who likely need seriously good connectivity only within their region or continent but want to have still reasonable global connectivity, this VPS looks quite ideal to me.
America, i.e. the home region of this box - well, sometimes I'm under the impression that say, London - eastcoast or Amsterdam - India is more logical and easier to calculate then city A - City B within the USA. On the other hand, at least from my european perspective and experience, 150 Mb/s to 200 Mb/s to California is quite good. At the same time though I have a hard time to grasp why WDC - Chicago only is about 400 Mb/s. But of course WDC - NYC solidly above 1 Gb/s is a very good result.
Connectivity summary: except for America, where connectivity seems to follow its own logic (or "logic"?) which I fail to grok, that VPS has really good connectivity, quite likely due to having and using mainly twelve99 and Tata pipes, which also explains the good european connectivity as well as the good Asia / Oceania connectivity.
TL;DR What a nice and well endowed VPS! And, considering its very low price, a really excellent deal!. I really hope that HostDZire will offer more locations with similar VPS - and similar price! - rather sooner than later! Clearly, one of the best VPS deals I ever found on LET!
Comments
oot, what is your typing speed sir?
Less than a secretary but better than average I guess.
I hope, we now can return to the topic.
Leaseweb is very active in promoting its services (e.g., on Twitter), but many people are misled because those services are primarily for B2B customers.
So, here we are left with only one provider representing Leaseweb.
im too retarded to understand any of those benchmark metrics, just give me yabs pls
Sorry, I don't do marketing and PR BS.
As for "too retarded" (which I don't believe): TL;DR: An excellent offer, you can't go wrong with.
@jsg
Thank you very much for posting this.
Thats some detailed testing,
I find many users asking about steal percentage.
Now this post will clear that doubt.
And if you have some free time, would you please do similar testing for other locations vps, eg: Singapore, Japan
These are leaseweb vps, and we are reselling it, so even i want to know the actual performance, not just yabs result.
This way we will be confident in reselling those and buying more of these in bulk to get price down.
I would love to see your test result, and off course it will help other users as well.
I will send you test vps for 24 hours to perform this test.
Great idea! And I'll gladly do it
P.S. 72 hrs would be much more reasonable because even the best VPS can do only so many rounds in a day.
give this man 72hrs since you dont pay a cent for the PR work he does for you
Thank you for helping, i will give you India vps as well.
India vps is our own, hosted in Mumbai, Iron Mountain DC.
So if you can test that as well, it would be very good for me.
Since i dont know your email, can you please send me PM with your email.
I will assign all three vps in your account for 72 hours..
Thank you again for accepting.
There are other Leaseweb resellers (hostingby.design and andy10gbit) but they don't have a presence on LET.
Uhm ...
P.S. in fact in quite a few situations actually I paid for a VPS, mainly to benchmark it (i.e. otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it).
You're welcome
DM is on its way ...
To clear it up, I did not mean to say that you're either working for them or you're getting paid or anything. However, doing a review - even if it's done objectively - in this specific case gives HostDZire positive PR. So the least they could do after you wrote this very thorough review about their services is to let you test the others they ask you for within your availability / time you need.
me personally I don’t trust this company, write “HostDzire Reviews” in google, and check links for yourself.
Professional company not rely on one person who decide everything, any wrong move and you lost all the data, “like how is this happened”
Serious people would rent some space in data centers around the globe, purchase hardware to own whole infrastructure, and not reselling the things.
I choose to pay more cash, and make a choice more wise, not just jump on the first call girl for a cheap price, it’s better find a wife for life.
Well, my experience with @HostDZire is absolutely positive so far. For example, their support is quite quick, polite, and gets things done.
And at least as a Leaseweb reseller I find them very attractive.
It's important to recognize that it's not possible to satisfy every customer, as expectations can vary widely. In any business, there will be instances where users may feel dissatisfied—particularly when services are denied due to violations or misuse. Unfortunately, some of these situations can result in negative reviews, even when the provider is simply enforcing fair usage policies.
For example, in our shared RDP services, users engaging in illegal activities are promptly banned. Despite this being necessary and clearly stated in our terms, it sometimes leads to unjustified negative feedback.
Some clients may take such decisions personally and attempt to impact our reputation. However, we've been in this business for over 10 years, and we believe our long-standing success speaks for itself.
If you check platforms like LowEndTalk (LET), you’ll find that we’ve served many clients here with very few—if any—negative reviews. We consistently strive to meet and exceed our clients' expectations. That said, no provider—regardless of size, even billion-dollar companies—can fulfill every single expectation 100% of the time.
Regarding infrastructure, we operate using our own hardware in both India and the Netherlands:
India: Our Cloud VPS services are hosted in Mumbai at the Iron Mountain Data Center. We fully own the hardware, and have actively posted offers for this location.
Netherlands: We also have racks in AMS-01 (Leaseweb/IMDC) with our own dedicated hardware. While we haven’t posted public offers for this location yet, the infrastructure is fully under our ownership.
We remain committed to transparency, reliability, and continuous improvement. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
Update
Know what? @HostDZire went all in and gave me access to 3 more (one "only" uses the Leaseweb network but is thier own VPS) plus two surprise VPS.
THANKS A LOT, HostDZire!
I think you'll like what you gonna see, guys and gals! All results are based on min. 50 runs (and some even 80+ runs).
I'll start with the Singapore Leaseweb VPS.
First, as usual, sysinfo, processor and memory
Yep, all the flags are there, except for nested virtualization, which with a 4 vCore server actually may make sense, so I mention it.
The result numbers are within typical Epyc range, although the crypto results are at the lower end (for Epyc, although good enough for 99% of use cases). But the basic results are really nice. Also note the relatively low spread as well as the very good multi-core to single-core ratio.
Let's see whether the disk is matchingly decent ...
Yep! That's what I like to see. About 20 MB/s and 5k IOps; that's solid NVMe terrain. OK, not high-end but really solid and damn good enough for the vast majority of use cases. For the price (about $3 and a bit per month) I really like what I see and wish I'd see that kind of numbers with more cheap VPS ...
Finally let's have a look at the (Leaseweb) connectivity
I'll split it into continents/regions.
Europe - Meeh, not nice - from a european perspective. But then, that's a SGP server ...
Negative points: the secondary NL AMS target was a complete failure, and, as usual with Leaseweb, the swiss target also was a complete failure.
Asia/Oceania - Now we're talking! Decent numbers, OK, not overwhelming but decent. Also important: the result within SGP clearly shows that the network adapter isn't a limiting factor. India over 150 Mb/s, HongKong about 100 Mb/s, China mainland solidly above 50 Mb/s, and Ozzyland even about 120 Mb/s almost seems incredible (well, for a European). Only Japan is disappointing and, considering that Leaseweb is present there, quite weird; I mean less than 40Mb/s I can get from Europe or America as well.
Also positive: All Asia / Oceania secondary locations, except Japan, achieved very similar results to the primary target as well.
Negative: The secondary JP target wasn't even reached, meeh.
Africa - meeh
America - basically meeh as well
TL;DR: Very nice and well performing processor and memory, very decent disk, but connectivity somewhat disappointing. But OK, that might in part be just me/my european perspective that is, we are used to better connectivity and have relatively high expectations. Plus a lack of experience with internet in Asia; maybe, even quite possibly, those results actually are really decent for Asia.
And yes, I'll admit it, seeing numbers solidly above 100 Mb/s to Ozzyland (in fact, almost 120 Mb) looks surreal to me. In Europe and I guess in America we can't even dream of that.
All in all, IF one happens to need decent connectivity in the Asia / Oceania region this VPS probably is one of the best choices, especially for the really low price.
But before making a decision let's have a look at the HostDZire/Leaseweb Japan VPS ...
So, here's the results and review of the @HostDZire/Leaseweb Japan VPS
First, as usual ...
OK, basically the same we saw in SGP, just a bee stick slower, but no noteworthy difference which means, OK, a really decent box
Basically the same, again. So, again: Really decent, me happy
So, let's look at what probably really is different, connectivity
I'll again split it into continents.
Europe - something like about 20 Mb/s worse than the SGP box, but I guess, considering the distance, who cares anyway. I'll put it this way: now I know how Asians and Ozzies feel when surfing to a european website *g
Asia / Oceania - Sorry, but not at all better than the SGP box. Better only within Japan, and even that with a caveat: the secondary Japan target was a complete failure!
Africa - meeh (just like the SGP server)
America - Hmmm, clearly and significantly better than the SGP server. Nice! Finally something positive.
TL;DR A disappointment, sorry. Unless you were after Japan connectivity only, although with a lottery factor, and maybe a halfway decent connection to America, I see absolutely no reason to purchase this VPS.
To keep it simple, the SGP box just is better, period (modulo very few exceptions).
But wait, further down a surprise may wait for you ...
Now, on to a pure HostDZire VPS but on the supposedly very good network of Leaseweb. location: NL, AMS
First, as usual - and this time worthy to look at ...
Now looky here, a really decent processor and memory configuration! It seems Leaseweb would do well to ask HostDZire for advice how to build a really decent Epyc VPS, hehe.
Very well done, HostDZire!
But, does the disk spoil the good impression or does it keep up? Let's see ...
WUT? Are you pulling my leg, HostDZire? I just confirmed that "your" Leaseweb VPS's disk is decent ... and now you smirk, it seems, and bloody double that performance? You naughty guys!
Seriously though, again: well done HostDZire (maybe you should begin to think about teaching fees for Leaseweb, hehe).
I'm quite confident that the one thing Leaseweb really knows how to do well, connectivity, won't disappoint either. But let's see ...
I'll again split it into regions.
Europe - Consistently very good results, except for the swiss target (as usual. Leaseweb seems to really dislike adfinis-on-exoscale.ch g), BUT they make up for that by not one but *three major targets solidly above 1 Gb/s, one in fact almost 3 Gb/s. I couldn't be much happier.
Asia/Oceania - not outright bad but quite half-cooked. I mean, how does one explain Iran and Siberia solidly above 100 Mb/s and Singapore with still decent about 70 Mb/s but India (in between those) not even 50 Mb/s? Similarly, China Mainland, Japan, and Ozzyland about or above 40 Mb/s, but Hongkong not even 20 Mb? Also, both secondary the Iran target as well as the secondary Japan target are complete failures, but that can be forgiven. But still the question comes up whether someone in Leaseweb's NOC has drinking problem ... that's weird, really weird.
Africa - Decent, really decent.
America - Also really decent, even very good
TL;DR Normally my verdict would be "very good, go and buy it!" but the really weird spots in their connectivity lead to a verdict of "quite good but with caveats".
The caveats boiling down to: if you want a really, really nice NL VPS and pretty much care only about Europe and America connectivity, with very decent Africa results thrown in, and can live with a mixture of lottery and not exactly great Asia connectivity, this one is for you. If however halfway decent and consistent connectivity to Asia and Oceania is even just somewhat important to you I suggest to look elsewhere."
Sorry, but there's lesson to be learned here for Leaseweb: If you run a global network then bloody do it consistently and well! (and don't employ NOC people with a drinking problem).
But again: If good connectivity to Asia and Oceania isn't important to you then this VPS is a really hot buy and recommended.
You thought "3 Leaseweb (or Leaseweb connectivity based) VPS. and that's it" ... you thought wrong.
Because there's more, to be precise, 2 India VPS, one with Xeon and one with Epyc.
And that's a very good thing in my book because, sorry for putting it bluntly, I've seen quite a few indian providers who seemed to be between shady and crooks. But India is an important region and also geographically well located, so I'm really glad to finally know an indian provider who not only seems to be trustworthy and professional but who also seems to really know how to build really good VPSs and sells them for a decent or even very tasty price -> @HostDZire.
To those who now think that I'm shilling, fuck off! If I sound like very positive re HostDZire then only because I, also as a person and customer, really like their products and service. If they were not I'd say so without hesitation because my loyalty is with our community and not with this or that provider.
Now, with that out of the way, let's get at the meat.
First: This box has AVX2 which is a big plus (if you don't know why, just ask and I'll explain, possibly more than you care to know *g).
Only the "nested" flag isn't available, which however seems reasonable for a box with only 2 cores anyway.
And for what it is it is really is very decent.
Now let's look at the disk ...
Excuse me? You bloody fuckers throw an NVMe at me that runs circles around the already quite nice Leaseweb VPS, tsk? OK, OK, not a high-end speed deamon but a really fast disk with high IOps.
And now, instead of apologizing for throwing that thing at me, you expect me to honestly say what I think? OK, albeit grumbling: I think that so far this VPS smells like a "buy! buy! buy!"
But there's still one open question, the connectivity of that thing. Maybe I'll have my revenge after all ... * evil grin
I'll again split it into regions
Europe - Failure (mine). Can't complain. I mean those results aren't orgasm inducing but they are quite decent (except for the swiss target failing. Have you learned that from Leaseweb? g).
Asia / Oceania - Do you *want to provoke me? How am I supposed to complain about over 170 Mb/s to SGP, about 80 Mb/s to both China targets, nearly 80 Mb/s to the Japan target, and still over 70 Mb/s to Ozzyland?
My only consolation is that the secondary Japan target is a complete failure.
Africa - kind of decent as well.
America - Haha, this is my victory moment! Those results are quite poor.
What? That's seriously far away from India and hence better results can hardly be expected? Good explanation - but not keeping me from doing my victory dance * evil grin
Joking aside: what a nice VPS! In fact I'm thinking that this VPS likely is the best of the bunch (read: more attractive than the Leaseweb Asian VPSs) in terms of Asia connectivity.
I think the only way to make this box unattractive was to make this box too expensive. So, what's the price, also for a 4 vCores, 6 or 8 GB version? And why is there no LET promo yet, and I mean a really tasty one, Mr. HostDZire?
Finally to the last VPS, another @HostDZire India VPS but this time with an Epyc processor
First, as usual ...
No AVX2, meeeh. But otherwise: WOW! All boxes ticked, except for "nested" which with 4 vCores may make sense for some. Very good results!
I guess the disk performance is similar to the other India VPS, let's see ...
OK, somewhat slower than the other one but still very nice results. Very decent, me like.
Connectivity probably also very similar, I guess. Let's have a look ...
Normally here I'd say "I'll split ..." but that's not even needed as the two are so similar, basically copies of each other.
So, I'll keep it short and just point at the other India VPS.
tldr: stick with WDC
Half Yes. And No.
Yes, the Asia Leaseweb VPSs look disappointing to me - but that doesn't necessarily mean a lot because I don't know the situation in Asia well. Maybe those VPSs are attractive, maybe not, I simply can't know for sure. Maybe some users from Asia can help out.
And No, because, obviously depending on price which AFAIK isn't known yet, I think both Indian VPS look like a very good compromise, because really decent Asia/Oceania connectivity but also acceptable to decent in most other regions. I personally think those India VPSs may be winners, if the price is right.
Whatever, now hard data is out and available here, so everyone can make an informed decision based on his personal needs.
Reading your terms of service you seem a little shady and kind of deceptive, I was going to print your terms of service here but I'm not going to,
buyer beware look for it yourself and read it
:
https://hostdzire.com/legal/terms.pdf
all llm inference endpoints in US/EU, as the framework more mature, the need of low latency is increasing. even now as I use for basic chat query, the latency is affecting the experience.
that is my use case though.
What specific terms you think it is shady/deceptive?
If you don't see any issues with the language of certain lines there especially in like 5.7 and 6.3, well hey enjoy yourself be happy I'm staying for away, for example why does it say torrent and or any file so I can't upload and download more than five of any file at a time even if it's not a torrent, okay I can't host a CDN for my own network okay what exactly can I do with the server or I can't run anything above 10% CPU usage
Hello,
6.3 Which says 5-10 torrents at a time is for Shared Rdp Service. here is plan
You can see it clearly says ACCEPTABLE USAGE POLICY - Rdp Or Remote Desktop Services
We have this limit just to prevent disk overloading. Even in rdp now we have SSD disk in most plans, So we dont really bother customer if we dont see disk overloading in any shared rdp servers, so by keeping this rule we can prevent abusive customers.
5.3 which says: No CDN or Media Streaming not allowed is for Dedicated Servers
This was leaseweb terms, so we also added this rule similarly.
But i must say now this limit we dont have in dedicated server, we will update these terms soon, Thanks for pointing it out.
Currently we have lots of video filehost customers who use these server, they are facing no issue, we also have many torrent/plex customers.
@jsg
Thank you so much for doing this for us and the community, after seeing this detailed testing and result i must say writing all this just to help community is something rare. People don't do stuff like this unless they get any benefit for this.
But there are users like you who remain neutral and give honest review so it can help other users to decide. This was the same reason i had asked you to test these vps.
We never wanted only good things to be said in this review, we wanted what correct and actual, So when people order they can have correct expecations about these vps.
Now our customers will know what to expect by ordering this vps.
I will now just give this post link to customers who will ask regarding performance/connectivity.
So thank you so much for this 🙏
Ping time from within APAC is really high for me, for both Singapore and Japan test IPs.

Japan
Comparatively, I can get < 150ms latency to Los Angeles (non-leaseweb).
