Welcome to the third article in our short series of blog posts on hosting for the online gaming industry.

LeaseWeb helps the monkeys as part of our corporate social responsibility program!
Our Corporate Social Responsibility program is really important to everyone at LeaseWeb, and is something which is reflected on a number of levels throughout our work. We constantly address our practices to ensure that they are kept sustainable, and for this reason we utilize green datacenters. Besides this, LeaseWeb is connecting more clients to their cloud products daily, which results in improved resource utilization, which in turn is good for our sustainability. Another aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility which we’re keen to promote is the charity work that we have recently begun to do with an animal sanctuary: Stichting AAP (the AAP Foundation).
The added value of social media in the hosting industry
It seems that the potential of social media in the hosting industry has not been fully recognized yet. If you look at Twitter, blog sites like WebHostingTalk (and let’s not forget Facebook/Google+), you will see that some of the big players in the industry don’t even have an account. On the other hand, the few that do spend resources on it are slowly taking it to the next level.

LeaseWeb Germany Post-Merger Integration Survey – Using customer feedback to further improve our hosting services
About a year ago we acquired the German hosting company Netdirekt, and with the anniversary approaching we decided to check-in with our German customers to get their feedback on our services. One of the most important things LeaseWeb tries to achieve is fostering relationships with our clients. By listening to them, we can better understand their needs. That’s why we recently conducted our German customer satisfaction survey.

GUS2CAS: Improving our hosting services across the globe
Setting up hosting services in ‘foreign’ territory isn’t something that you can set up in a day, not even if you’re already an international hosting provider.

At LeaseWeb, this process became a large ‘behind the scenes’ project we dubbed GUS2CAS. We are very happy to announce that last week, we successfully deployed the first phase of this project. We’ve added important new features to our website based on customer feedback and improved the back end of our ordering system. Read on to learn what has been changed.
