We ordered up a dedicated server this month through LeaseWeb. The mistakes were one after the other. It took them almost 5 days to set our dedi up, First Mistake they gave us the wrong hard drive. 2nd Mistake they again gave us the wrong hard drive. 3rd mistake was again the same as 1 and 2. How hard could it be for these guys to follow the instructions on our order. Finally 2 weeks later when we were transferring our data from our previous server company we ran out of disk space guess what they again installed the wrong server.. They have the worse customer service. It seems as though there Ticket system is a failure. I have all the messages saved very sad. The left doesn't know what the right is doing at LeaseWeb.

The whole point of this email is to inform others to NOT give any money to this company. Network cables don't "just break". Especially not in dedicated data centers. What? Are there cats walking around chewing on the wires? Are the cables made of hair? Servers also don't overheat if there is sufficient cooling and they are maintained correctly. I'm not sure why you think I should trust you, given that I don't know you, and you clearly expect nothing from a service you're paying money for. The idea that I should have to purchase a 'DNS based load balancing service' to keep my site alive is ludicrous. The server died TWICE, this isn't just a random failuire. It's a bad level of service, as many other reviews of LeaseWeb will tell you. And to note, since moving to LiquidWeb back in 2008, I have been trouble free. And their support team answers me within 30 minutes. Booyah! Haha, yes, I must be a whiner. The whole point of this email is to inform others to NOT give any money to this company.

Way too many words for a minor outage. Trust me, in IT stuff "just breaks" all the time. Unless you pay them to provide redundancy for your website, that responsibility falls on you. Why not host in two locations and purchase a DNS based load balancing service to keep it alive if your content requires that level of uptime. Less drama may earn you more empathy.

We've been through a similar issue with them, and now that our server is down again I started looking for what others are saying about Leaseweb. Ours was once Netdirekt based in Frankfurt Germany, now it somehow became LeaseWeb... We're changing these fuckers.

If it is a 'coincidence', then I assure anyone using LeaseWeb that they will be coincidentally screwed at some point in their coincidental life. Ethernet cables don't just 'break', and they didn't fix it 'instantly'. They are not a good host.
