AMSTERDAM — Global online shopping comparison website Twenga announced LeaseWeb will provide hosting services for the company.

Twenga compares more than 70 million products in 100,000 product categories on ecommerce sites around the world. The site uses an in-house developed crawl and search technology.

Due to international expansion, the company sought out LeaseWeb as its hosting provider in the Netherlands.

“The Netherlands has a central location both geographically and from the Internet perspective,” Cédric Anes, technical director and co-founder of Twenga said. “Amsterdam is an important Internet node where the main telecom carriers come together. So we are very happy to have found a good hosting provider in the Netherlands.”

The company initially needed more than 100 dedicated servers, primarily to obtain all of the product data from ecommerce websites indexed by Twenga.

LeaseWeb has installed the dedicated servers at EvoSwitch, the CO2-neutral data center. LeaseWeb provided a Linux-based dedicated hosting solution for the company, which utilized LeaseWeb’s hosting network of 210 Gbps.

Engineers at Twenga and LeaseWeb developed the hosting solution’s design. The server equipment – which includes crawler servers, search servers, web servers and database servers – is from Dell.

LeaseWeb is an international provider of hosting solutions. The company offers services that include domain name registration, web hosting, dedicated servers, co-location, server virtualization, and streaming. Founded in 1997, LeaseWeb manages nearly 11,000 servers. Its client base includes Starbucks, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Direct Wonen.
