Dedicated Servers · $276.33/mo (128 GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 1920 GB SSD)
The Leaseweb Dell R7525 is a high-spec dedicated server, but several alternatives offer comparable CPU/RAM at significantly lower cost, or better specs at similar pricing. The main trade-off is between bare-metal performance (Leaseweb/Hetzner/Contabo dedicated) and virtualized cloud (IONOS/Oracle), plus contract lock-in on cheaper VPS tiers.
Dedicated server with 128GB RAM, 16 vCPU (Ryzen 9 7950X3D), and up to 3.84TB NVMe for less than half the Leaseweb price; newer CPU architecture and configurable storage.
Caveat: Setup fee raised to 79 EUR in 2026; price marked PLACEHOLDER and not confirmed; traffic overages charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; lower vCPU count (16 vs 24) and fewer cores than Leaseweb.
Dedicated server with 64GB RAM, 12-core Ryzen 9 7900, 1TB NVMe, and unlimited traffic for 62% less; expandable to 128GB RAM.
Caveat: Quoted price is 24-month prepaid rate; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more; 12 cores and 64GB base RAM are less than Leaseweb; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic.
Dedicated server with 64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1.92TB SSD RAID-1, and 10TB bandwidth for 39% less; managed support and 100% uptime SLA.
Caveat: Advertised price is promotional (often 50% off first 2 months); renewal pricing is meaningfully higher; 64GB RAM and 16 cores are less than Leaseweb; bandwidth capped at 10TB.
Cloud instance with 16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, and 99.99% SLA; only 9% more than Leaseweb and avoids bare-metal lock-in.
Caveat: 64GB RAM and 16 vCPU are significantly less than Leaseweb's 128GB/24 vCPU; additional IPv4 addresses cost 6 USD per month each; outbound data transfer beyond 2TB is metered at 0.036-0.018 USD/GB; renewal pricing after contract is 2-6x higher.
Dedicated server with 64GB DDR5 RAM, 16 vCPU, 2TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA for 21% less.
Caveat: 64GB RAM and 16 cores are less than Leaseweb; steep renewal price increases after intro term; 20% discount only applies to 36-month terms; domain privacy and add-ons (SiteLock, backups) are upsold at checkout.
