Your traffic

Choose a workload. We’ll estimate traffic and requests for you.

Estimated monthly costs

USD per month, before tax. Load balancing and unpriced extras are excluded.

What’s included?

Estimates cover cacheable content. Origin and optional services are added only when you enter their rates. Plans differ in features and coverage; check their terms before buying.

Advanced settings
Split traffic between regions

Percentages must total 100%. The same split applies to bytes and requests. CloudFront charges by serving edge location; this is an approximation. Shared free allowances are allocated proportionally.

Origin and optional services

Paid tiers start with this workload; estimates do not include other account traffic. Enter your own effective rates after origin allowances. Reads use request misses; egress uses byte fill. Functions assume one invocation per viewer request. Zero leaves an extra out of the estimate; it does not mean your origin is free.

Compare a quote you received

This is your quote, not a published provider price. Use an effective rate for the selected traffic mix; tiers, included usage and commitments need to be reflected in your inputs. Sharing a scenario includes your quote details.

Presets are starting assumptions, not measured traffic. Video assumes one rendition and segment GETs; playlists, retries and extra audio tracks add requests. Fill is a byte ratio, not a request cache-hit rate. GB = 1 billion bytes; Google bills GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes; CloudFront estimates use binary GB as a billing assumption.

Overview

Leaseweb is an infrastructure provider founded in 1997 and headquartered in Amsterdam. Its Multi-CDN service combines third-party delivery networks behind one contract and management layer.

  • Volume: steers traffic using measured latency and cost.
  • Premium: steers traffic using latency and throughput.

Choose the tier and commitment around your audience and delivery requirements; underlying CDN capabilities still limit the combined service.

Network

Leaseweb combines third-party CDN coverage rather than operating every delivery location itself. The connected providers include CacheFly, CDNetworks, Fastly and Gcore; Edgio is excluded.

The service advertises more than 400 combined PoPs. A complete provider-by-provider cache-city inventory is not published.

Optional Leaseweb origin shields in Amsterdam and Washington, D.C. sit between the delivery networks and your origin. The map shows these two shield cities, rather than the combined end-user delivery footprint.

Delivery and cache controls

  • HTTP/3, TLS 1.3, compression and configurable cache behavior.
  • Web, live-streaming and video-on-demand distribution templates.
  • Optional origin shielding and stale serving when the origin fails.

Configuration changes can take up to 30 minutes. Invalidation normally takes a few minutes, with separate requests needed for the delivery CDNs and origin shield.

Access and visibility

Real-time dashboards and near-real-time raw-log uploads provide visibility across the connected providers. Log delivery can be delayed or incomplete and does not determine the invoice.

The product page advertises signed URLs, but the distribution guide documents tokenized access for shields while saying it is unavailable for Multi-CDN distributions. Confirm the required access-control path before relying on it. Available delivery features are limited to the common subset of the selected networks.

Pricing

Annual traffic commitments

Committed trafficVolumePremium
50 TBEUR 6.60/TBEUR 8.50/TB
3 PB or moreEUR 4.20/TBEUR 5.80/TB

Other published commitment bands sit between these rates. The annual contract has a EUR 150 monthly minimum; the on-demand offering is marked as coming soon.

For a calculator estimate, enter a confirmed quote converted to USD per GB, including the minimum and any additional charges. The calculator does not silently convert this euro tariff or assume how excess traffic is billed.

Developer tools

  • Manage distributions through the customer portal or REST API.
  • Upload normalized, gzipped JSON access logs to an S3-compatible bucket with write permissions.
  • Use the dashboard for unified monitoring and invalidation.

Leaseweb maintains a Terraform provider for other infrastructure products. Multi-CDN resource coverage is unconfirmed, so check the required resource before choosing it for CDN automation.

When it fits

  • Organizations that want one contract and control plane for several delivery networks.
  • High-volume delivery with a predictable annual commitment.
  • Workloads that benefit from traffic steering and an optional origin shield.

Before you choose

  • Small or highly variable workloads that need a published on-demand plan.
  • Requirements for a fixed delivery provider in every region.
  • Applications that need provider-specific image, compute or security features without confirming their Multi-CDN availability.
  • Workflows that depend on immediate purge completion or complete, guaranteed real-time access logs.
