We’re excited to announce the launch of our Public Cloud & VPS offerings from our Sydney Data Center in Australia.
Over the past few years, we’ve observed a gap within the Australian market.
When it comes to hosting options for small & medium businesses, the Australian market has limited options.
It’s either:
- Hyperscaler options like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure offer great services, but with complex setups and even more complex pricing models. They also have proprietary systems that build vendor lock-in & are US-owned hence subject to the US Cloud Act.
- Smaller developer cloud options, which work great for smaller projects, but struggle when it comes to reliability & functioning at scale
We want to enable Australian businesses with hosting that offers the best of both worlds. Great reliability, predictable & clear pricing, no vendor lock in, & AU data sovereignty.

What Leaseweb Public Cloud Brings to Australian Businesses
Our Public Cloud infrastructure is designed around five core principles:
True Australian Data Sovereignty
As your services are operated by our Australian entity, your data is hosted within Australia and subject to Australian data protection laws. Additionally, Leaseweb is headquartered in the Netherlands, a country with strong privacy and data protection standards, as mandated by the EU’s GDPR.
Meaning your data stays safe and compliant with local laws.
Transparent, Predictable Pricing
Our pricing model is straightforward and predictable, with everything bundled in with our VPS pricing.
With Public Cloud, storage and traffic are charged separately, however our costs are indicated clearly on our website and customer portal. Additionally, we have a specific cost management section within the “Public Cloud” tab of our customer portal allowing you to clearly see your costs; making it easy to budget and forecast your infrastructure costs with confidence.
High Performance and Reliability
Public Cloud instances can be launched with highly performant AMD EPYC V2 & AMD EPYC V3 CPUs. These can be coupled with fast NVMe local storage (25K IOPS) or highly available central storage (5k IOPS), all coupled with fast network speeds of up to 10 Gbps.
We also have a 99.99% availability target for our Public Cloud instances, meaning you get the same reliability as hyperscaler clouds.
No Vendor Lock-In
We believe in open standards and interoperability. Our Public Cloud offers multi-cloud connectivity with AWS, GCP, & Azure Clouds. Additionally, our APIs are modeled to be compatible with AWS, meaning migration becomes simpler and faster.
Human Support When You Need It
Our systems are made to reduce the need for support. However, we always have human support stationed at our data centers for when things go wrong. No endless ticket queues or chatbots. Just experienced engineers who understand infrastructure and can help you solve problems quickly.
