By bringing together the speed and flexibility of one of the world’s top web server software with LeaseWeb’s first-class global infrastructure services, the two companies will further enhance the quality of their customers’ experience.
'A reliable and secure hosting environment with optimal uptime is very important to us. We are extremely impressed with LeaseWeb's infrastructure, performance and stability. This made selecting LeaseWeb as our preferred infrastructure partner a logical next step,' said Andrew Alexeev, co-founder of NGINX.

The combination of LeaseWeb’s high performance Internet services and NGINX’s unmatched speed and scalability ensures greater web infrastructure efficiency at affordable cost.
