Proactive technicians who communicate well. They monitor for problems and keep me informed. Great response times to tickets with the right level of detail in their responses.

I have never had a bad experience working with Liquid Web technicians. They either find the solution or explain why they are taking various courses of actions or steps to remediate things.

"Most helpful humans is an understatement!"

What does one need in a web hosting company? Reliability, Uptime, Prompt service and good pricing. Liquid Web ticks all the boxes. I have a few VPS with LiquidWeb and am extremely happy with them! My clients are happy that they do not have to worry about their websites being down anytime and with Liquid Web's sonar monitoring they see and correct any issue even before we notice it. Glad to be hosting with Liquid Web!

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

Nothing that I can remember over the last ten years.

"Best Customer Service"
What do you like best about Liquid Web?

Awesome Customer Service. The customer service is the best out there for a hosting company. I've been with them for more than 3 years and never going back. I've used multiple hosting companies over the years, however, once I found Liquid Web, they are the last. Their US-based customer service is paramount to any other hosting company out there.

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

There is nothing to dislike. Everything I've ever experienced with this company has been amazing.

What problems is Liquid Web solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing and maintaining multiple servers with a small IT team. However, when it comes to server maintenance, I can leave that up to LW and free up my team's time.

"Great Support from Liquid Web"
What do you like best about Liquid Web?

I Get 24 hour support, from a REAL person.

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

There is nothing I dislike. I have no complaints.

What problems is Liquid Web solving and how is that benefiting you?

I’m subscribing to one of Liquid Web’s managed dedicated server plans. This provides you with FULL access to your server. Plus, they helped me install the latest version of Word Press, which is a big savings. I work in the tech industry, and I’ve NEVER encountered the level of support that Liquid Web provides from a Web Hosting Company. I’ve called them several times in the middle of the night, and a REAL person always picks up, and is always VERY knowledgeable. I pinch myself sometimes saying “Did this just happen?” May I say again? A REAL person. With Liquid Web’s support, many of the technicians are familiar with Word Press., which is a HUGE plus for me. Otherwise, get ready to pay a third party contractor for $$ manage your Word Press Site when things go wrong. That would make me nervous if it’s someone you do not trust.

"The best hosting in the biz"
What do you like best about Liquid Web?

Liquid Web has been the best hosting by far that I've used over the years. It is not the cheapest solution but that's exactly why I'm with them, they aren't cheap. The servers are fast and perform great with any type of website I host. Support is always helpful and they go above and beyond to solve any problems. I have been taking customers from WPengine lately and giving them better speeds for a much better price. One recent client, I cut their hosting cost in half and increased their page load time by 1 second doing nothing more than migrating the website to Liquid Web hosting. They also have great reseller perks if you're in the web business.

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

Migrations take longer than I'd like. If I submit a website for them to migrate it takes a few days normally. Even if it's a simple website, I normally just migrate myself no big deal.

What problems is Liquid Web solving and how is that benefiting you?

I spend less time taking care of problems that are solved by a great hosting platform. They are proactive instead of reactive to problems.

"Supreme Hosting Company"
What do you like best about Liquid Web?

The competence of its staff; the even, sane nature of the staff; the robustness and ease of the software platforms in place for managing services.

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

Truly, there is nothing to dislike in my experience.

What problems is Liquid Web solving and how is that benefiting you?

Liquid Web is our seventh hosting provider in 15 years. Each was severely lacking in vital aspects of quality hosting. Four of the six substandard hosts were big-name providers. I felt comfortable going with them originally due to their names, but was sorely disappointed. The problems were plentiful, but it has been four years since we moved to Liquid Web, and--fortunately--the details of the pains with the past providers have subsided in my memory. But, they were foul.

"Perfect for my Business since 2005"
What do you like best about Liquid Web?

The thing I like best about LiquidWeb is the tech support. They are immediately available via Chat 24/7/365. Besides the support availability, the quality of support is outstanding. They have always resolved any problems I had in very short order, often during the Chat but at most, within a matter of 1 or 2 hours. Besides the tech support, the servers function perfectly, cPanel gives me access to all of the server settings I could ever want/need. The overall service provided by LiquidWeb is well worth the cost.

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

There isn't anything I dislike about LiquidWeb.

What problems is Liquid Web solving and how is that benefiting you?

I get most of my business via my clients searching the internet for the services I provide. Therefore, being able to host my website on a reliable hosting service provider solved the problems I had with previous hosting service providers due to LiquidWeb's superior hardware/software and technical support. As a result of using LiquidWeb, I benefit from greater visibility to potential clients looking for the services I provide. In addition, I have had so few questions about LiquidWeb's hosting services I rarely lose any time interacting with them. On the few occasions I have needed Tech support, they have always been fast and effective and solving my issues, so it is a big time and headach saver using LiquidWeb.

"My Site Started Ranking Immediately After Switching to a Liquid Web Dedicated Server"
What do you like best about Liquid Web?

Liquid Web hosting is fast and reliable, but my favorite feature is their incredible support. Hosting is complex and knowing their support team is available 24/7 to help ensure sites stay online, backups are in place and that updates are happening to keep everything secure and working well into the future is invaluable to an online business owner. After switching from a dedicated competitor's server, making no other changes, my website started ranking on the first page of Google for a variety of keywords and has been a profit generator ever since.

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

Would love for Acronis Backups to be brought to Liquid Web's dedicated servers. Heard it is coming though which is great.

What problems is Liquid Web solving and how is that benefiting you?

Inbound marketing is my primary objective so using a server that is zippy under high demand is an important part of being found online. Every site hosted with Liquid Web has ranked for at least a few keywords which is something I was never able to do before.

"Great Experience, Great uptime!"
What do you like best about Liquid Web?

Easy to get started, great reliability, almost no downtime. Been with them in one form or another for more than 10 years and I've had very few issues. Love the self serve aspect of most things, the SSL management is greatly improved since Liquid web acquired the Cloud Sites product. Its also a very affordable service when hosting multiple web sites with their own databases.

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

I use mainly the Cloud Sites platform and I wish they had support for .net Core projects. Also sometime I think the DNS management could be done in a more automatic way.

What problems is Liquid Web solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hosting multiple sites from multiple clients. Easy to separate clients and give them their own ftp logins etc. Great control panel very easy to use. Easy to implement SSL Certificates from external vendors. It has also eliminated the concern with traffic spikes as some sites have very strong peak periods.

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

Nothing. Seriously, there is nothing I dislike about Liquid Web.

What problems is Liquid Web solving and how is that benefiting you?

We immediately solved our uptime problems by switching to Liquid Web, and have maintained an incredible uptime record ever since.

"Managed WordPress Now Enhanced by Nexcess for Fast Loading and More..."
What do you like best about Liquid Web?

Liquid Web is a premium hosting service provider that has a pricing on the upper tier with no such thing as shared hosting. For those serious in making a professional web presence without hiccups like site going without a proper SSL, crashed when content/product goes viral, Liquid Web needs consideration. Their customer support through chat is 24x7 and really, really prompt and effective. I am using Liquid Web Managed WordPress and satisfied. From this month, we are getting additional features, thanks to their merger with Nexcess, a web development company that has developed expertise in coming out with innovative hosting applications for Magento, WordPress and WooCommerce. So, the Managed WordPress dashboard now has added features to ensure that the site loads superfast.

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

The dashboard can be made further user friendly. For instance, linking a new domain with the newly bought WordPress plan can be made more easy, especially for those who are newbies.

What problems is Liquid Web solving and how is that benefiting you?

With WordPress as CMS, we are benefiting from excellent hosting services by LiquidWeb. This ensures that we focus on our core area of content creation, agency services while hosting part taken care by experts in their field.

"Liquid Web saves the day again!"
What do you like best about Liquid Web?

Kristin F (Krissy) at Liquid Web is an awesome example of the type of personal and expert service that I've come to love and rely on for the success of my business. When I called in today, she came through for me in a big way to day and I appreciate it and my clients appreciate it. I've been through the hosting gauntlet and seen past the marketing promises made by other hosting providers, but Liquid Web delivers on the hardware side and especially on the service side. When I have an issue with my hosting, I know I have someone in my corner who cares about my issue and understands the impact it can have on my business, so it's refreshing and encouraging to know that I'm not alone when something happens. If you like your host or aren't sure if you like them, I'd definitely call Liquid Web and see if they might be a good fit. They won't be for everyone, but I have no hesitation in recommending them.

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

My only critique is that I've had a few chats or phone calls where the CSR wasn't what I've come to know and love at Liquid Web, but hopefully they learn quickly. But the overwhelming experience has been awesome.

What problems is Liquid Web solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've tried a lot of other companies and had a lot of issues, but these guys get the hardware and the service right and that gives me the confidence to really build my business.

"Managed Hosting with Liquid Web is Incredible"
What do you like best about Liquid Web?

Moving our managed hosting to Liquid Web was one of the best decisions we made last year. The performance is outstanding — our site speed went up by 50% just with the transition. More importantly, the Liquid Web support team goes above and beyond and is easily accessible. Thank you, Liquid Web!

What do you dislike about Liquid Web?

We haven't experienced any downsides to date.

What problems is Liquid Web solving and how is that benefiting you?

Moving to Liquid Web solved a time problem for Pathfinder SEO. We were spending too much time and money managing our own hosting at AWS. The move to managed hosting meant we could focus more energy on our marketing and business and less time on servers and infrastructure.
