New Leaseweb Features – July 2023

We are thrilled to share that Leaseweb has introduced a variety of new features this month, providing our valued customers with an enhanced experience. 

Improved Connectivity and Performance with Upgraded Network Infrastructure in Frankfurt (FRA-01) Datacenter 

We have successfully migrated the data center in Frankfurt (FRA-01) for VPS and Elastic Compute, resulting in an upgraded network infrastructure. As a result, customers now enjoy enhanced connectivity with the implementation of a higher bandwidth network infrastructure. 

Expanded Snapshot Feature Availability for Legacy VPS Instances 

We have made code modifications to enable the Snapshot feature for legacy (non ‘general purpose’) VPS instances. Previously, this feature was only available for VPS instances with GP (general purpose) packs. As a result, customers with legacy VPS instances can now enjoy the Snapshot functionality, and they also receive a complimentary included Snapshot. 

Successful Migration to New Webhosting Platform 

We have completed the migration process, transferring all customers from the old web hosting platform to our newly created one. This migration marks a significant upgrade for our web hosting platform, providing enhanced performance and access to the latest software versions for all web hosting customers. This achievement is a noteworthy milestone for our company.
