Pros & Cons Reviews

    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.

    This company, give a bad service, and also cheat. I bought a virtual server from them with a monthly fee of 40$. I invested a lot of time setting it up. Then it started working very slowly, and they said it's my problem, and if I want it faster, I have to pay a much higher price. Then after some months, I paid in time (with Bitcoin), but they claimed they didn't receive the money, and closed my server. I sent them the page that shows that the transaction was done, but they claimed it is not their account. It was definitely the account that they gave, as I scanned the code that they gave in their site, and double checked it. They refused to reopen my server, claimed that they gave my fixed IP to someone else, and also refused to give me my money back. I would definitely not recommend working with them as I think this company is a fraud.

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.
