Pros & Cons Reviews

  • Liquid Web

    Positive Reviews

    I’ve had a great experience with Liquid Web. Their dedicated server plans don’t come with hidden fees or confusing upgrade paths. Every email lands on time and I’ve found their customer service helpful from the start, clear, quick and consistent. It’s refreshing to feel like a valued client.

    all is excellent BUT SLOW Network speeds on all us locations I tested, I even installed some larger and more expensive VPS to see if it´s only on the small VPS, but no, download speeds from any location and any setup(also tested 3 different OS) are slow, I just get about 3 to 10% compared to the speed I get from their looking glass testservers. Really disappointing, because the testfiles download speed was so promising and the control panel and anything else is great.

FAQs

  • Liquid Web

    Why does Liquid Web use Nexcess for WordPress and WooCommerce hosting?

    Nexcess is Liquid Web’s specialized platform built specifically for WordPress, WooCommerce and Magento. You purchase through Liquid Web, but the actual hosting dashboard is Nexcess. It’s a structural decision: Liquid Web manages infrastructure and support, while Nexcess handles the application-level tools, staging, backups and ecommerce optimizations.

    Do Liquid Web plans really come with unlimited traffic?

    Yes. Managed WordPress and WooCommerce plans include no visit caps, no bandwidth throttling and no overage fees. This is valuable for sites that get seasonal spikes, viral traffic or heavy ad campaigns. Your plan isn’t punished for growth.

    How does Liquid Web handle website security?

    Security is built into the platform: automatic updates, daily malware scans, free SSL, Cloudflare Enterprise, DDoS protection and isolated staging updates. Higher-tier plans bring deeper protections, but even base plans offer more built-in security than many competing hosts.

    Is Vultr pricing the same across all regions?

    Pricing is designed to be flat across data centres, but there can be minor differences due to regional costs. In practice, you pay roughly the same regardless of where you deploy.

    Which plan is best for WordPress?

    For personal blogs or small business sites, the High Frequency 1 GB plan delivers great performance for only $6 per month. If your site runs WooCommerce or sees spikes in traffic, consider moving up to 2 GB or 4 GB of RAM. The high‑frequency tier’s NVMe storage improves database queries and reduces load times

    Can I upgrade or downgrade my server later?

    Yes. Vultr allows you to resize instances within the same product line. For example, you can upgrade from 1 GB to 2 GB or switch from Cloud Compute to High Frequency. However, migrating between certain plans (e.g., Cloud Compute to Optimized Cloud Compute) may require creating a new instance and restoring from a snapshot.
