This web host isn’t cheap, but it’s well worth the asking price in our opinion.
The story of Liquid Web begins with one man by the name of Jim Geiger and his dream to create “the most loved hosting provider in the world”. This dream was made into reality in 1997 when the company was founded. Nowadays, it employs more than 500 on-site hosting professionals and serves over 45,000 customers in more than 150 countries across the world. Taking all this into account, it’s no surprise Liquid Web has received Inc.5000 Fastest Growing Companies award for nine years in a row. As its founder likes to emphasize, Liquid Web puts its focus on meeting the needs of small and mid-size businesses while keeping the customer at the center of its strategy. Specialized in fully managed VPS and dedicated server solutions, it is not a company you would describe as a beginner-friendly one. With Liquid Web you’ll get your money’s worth, more so if you are ready to pay handsomely. Liquid Web’s head office is located in Lansing (Michigan, the USA) and their data centers can be found in Lansing (Michigan, the USA), Phoenix (Arizona, the USA), and Amsterdam (the Netherlands). If this doesn’t cover you or your intended users, worry not since Liquid Web also provides a global CDN (content delivery network) with server locations in more than 120 countries. Liquid Web’s official site features something we haven’t seen in a while, and that is pictures of people laughing out loud at jokes they haven’t shared with us (or they may just be happy working at Liquid Web). Besides this, the site is everything you would expect from a veteran web hosting provider, professional-looking and well-polished. It also features a blog and a pretty good one to boot. As for social networking sites, you can follow Liquid Web on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube, and all these accounts are still in the land of the living. Given that Liquid Web is specialized in providing powerful managed hosting solutions aimed at professionals and businesses, it’s no wonder that simple shared hosting is not an option. The options are cloud hosting, managed WordPress, managed VPS (the top-seller), and dedicated server hosting solutions. For each type of hosting more than plenty of pretty powerful plans are at your disposal, and they will cost a pretty penny. If you’re working on a tight budget, the cheapest choice is to go with the smallest out of managed WordPress plans or comparable plans for managed WooCommerce -oriented hosting. On the monthly billing cycle, they are both offered for an introductory price of $9.50 per month (which is valid for 6 months), after which the price will rise to the regular $19 per month. If you submit for a year, it will be billed at $190, which is a bit over $15 per month. The smallest WordPress plan called “ Spark ” will supply you with the ability to host a single site, use 15GB of storage space,2TB of bandwidth,30-day backups, unlimited email accounts, Beaver Builder Lite, iThemes Security Pro, and iThemes Sync. As it usually is with similar premium providers, Liquid Web offers no risk-free trials for its products but it does offer a “no-hassle” money-back guarantee for the first 30 days of use for cloud, cloud dedicated, and VPS packages. They also add that if you happen to discover that their solutions are not right for you within a few days, you can get in touch with their support staff and get your monthly investment refunded.
