Liquid Web

Self- or fully managed VPS with cPanel, Plesk or InterWorx

Overview

Liquid Web is a managed hosting company whose site links its sister brands Nexcess and Servers.com.[3] Its dedicated servers are sold fully managed, with 99.99% uptime, DDoS protection and 24/7 management, in data centres that it says are regularly assessed for HIPAA, PCI-DSS and GDPR.[3]

The entry server, an Intel Xeon E-2134 with four cores at 3.5 GHz, 16 GB of memory, 480 GB SSD, 500 GB of Acronis backups, 10 TB of bandwidth and cPanel, is listed at US$163.25 a month with a 15% discount for a two-year term. A Xeon E-2246G server is US$312.80 and a Xeon 6526Y with 16 cores and 64 GB is US$577.15 on the same basis.[3] Discounts of 10% for one year and 15% for two years apply to the configurator table.[3]

Liquid Web is aimed at businesses that want the provider to manage the server. Prices are well above unmanaged rivals, and the advertised rates depend on a two-year term.[3]
