Leaseweb Object Storage Pricing
What is Object Storage?
Object Storage is a storage platform that provides cost-effective, scalable and secure storage. It can handle vast amounts of data with outstanding levels of durability and availability. Object Storage uses widely spread APIs, such as S3, over standard Internet protocols, like HTTPS, to handle and store data. Data is stored in the shape of objects and buckets, making it more secure compared to other forms of storage. Each of the two Leaseweb options for Object Storage keeps your data redundantly spanned across three or more systems, in the same or different availability zones depending on the product, ensuring that your data is safe regardless of any issues that could happen in a server or availability zone.

Frequently Asked Questions
In block storage, only one server can be the owner of the file system at a given time and the connection with the source of the blocks must be extremely reliable and stable to prevent data loss.
However, object storage keeps control of the stored objects. This means data changes are transactions that can be done without risk to the consistency of the stored data, even through the Internet.
File storage relies on protocols that were not designed to be both performant and secure through the Internet, as they are designed to be used on private networks where trusted servers and users are connected.
Object storage, on the other hand, adds a security layer onto the API access and keeps transactional control over the data written, including built-in version control and metadata management.
Leaseweb Object Storage allows you to develop your applications that make use of the S3 standard to store, query and retrieve your data in the shape of objects. It is portable from or to any other S3 compatible object storage platform.

With Leaseweb Object Storage you can store different versions of your objects by enabling versioning on the corresponding bucket. Once enabled, the different versions of the objects can be accessed via the S3 compatible API.
Data is accessible via the S3 API. You can use your favorite framework to build the object management of your software and use your favorite S3 compatible application to browse the objects yourself.
The maximum size allowed for an object is 5TB, while fair use policy might prevent large objects to be uploaded on certain circumstances. If you plan to upload large objects, please let us know in advance.
Leaseweb Object Storage is a platform that allows you to use the S3 protocol to store your data, in the shape of objects, by using standard HTTPS connections. By using it, you can upload and retrieve, as well as set and query metadata information about the stored data.
Once you start up your object storage, you first need to create your bucket (a container where the objects are stored) and a user key (a string that authenticates you in the system).
With these, you can access the object storage end point with the proper API calls to upload your objects (files) into your bucket.
Yes this is supported. It can be done with any s3 application that supports it, or via s3cmd:
s3cmd signurl s3://BUCKET/OBJECT
