Considered Both Products
Liquid Web
Chose Liquid Web
Liquid Web is more professional than all of them. The main reason is the rock solid support which is 24/7 available. Whenever we contact with queries, the solution is guaranteed. There is no need to create support tickets, all the queries gets solved over live chat.

Chose Liquid Web
In the last 20 years I used, between 5 and 10 hosting companies from Argentina, Canada, and USA. The best is Liquidweb. What I love from them is their support. I always know that I can send a ticket and in a short time (sometimes just minutes) I will have a reply. If I need …
Chose Liquid Web
Liquid-Web is miles ahead of GoDaddy and Network Solutions in terms of customer support. It's a pleasure to speak with the Liquid-Web team and we've needed to reach out to support far less often after the shift to Liquid Web.
Chose Liquid Web
We evaluated Kinsta and WPEngine. Both offer great platforms but the lack of solid phone support and the substantial difference in server resource allocation made Liquid Web a clear winner.
Chose Liquid Web
The only other serious contender was DigitalOcean. Media Temple and GoDaddy are both terrible. While I liked DigitalOcean and the amount of flexibility it offered, we opted for a managed solution to lighten the workload for us. So, in the end, we picked Liquid-Web and we have …
Chose Liquid Web
For me, Liquid-Web is the best overlap of:
- Web hosting standardized Tools & Software
- Quality Product (Reliable, Well-Performing)
Web Hosting Hub
Chose Web Hosting Hub
Web Hosting Hub is my preferred go-to when selecting hosting for a small business or freelance operation and it is also one of the lowest cost solutions that I have seen. This paired with their really excellent and always-available tech support (which I have called on …

LiquidWeb is web suited for small and large companies as they offer VPS and dedicated servers, from small to very big servers if you need lot of CPU, RAM or disk.

If you are a small business, freelancer, or any other type of user that doesn't need a lot of resources and get less than 10,000 hits per month, this is a great hosting environment for you. If you need more resources, I would recommend something else such as their sister company InMotion Hosting.

Pros
  • Phone support is somewhat rare, but rapid, knowledgeable, and English-speaking phone support is rarer still. Liquid Web ticks all these boxes and more.
  • Easy staging environments.
  • Partnership with iThemes for complete site management.

  • Easy setup - i can easily add domains, sub-domains, add-ons, as well as set up a WordPress installation in a matter of minutes.
  • Low cost - if you want to keep costs down, the plans are very cost effective with shared hosting for as little as $5 a month (there is a catch, that you have to sign up for a certain amount of time, but it's still worth it).
  • User-friendly UI via Cpanel - no surprises here, it's just a Cpanel that you're familiar with and works.
  • Excellent customer service and tech support available 24/7.

Cons
  • The only con I can think of is Liquid-Web is more expensive, but it is a managed VPS so the price is on par with other similar services. There are some cheaper managed VPS plans out there, but in my experience, those often come with mediocre support and periodic server issues.

  • Sites can be slow if you're on a shared server environment as they may be crowded servers.
  • Sometimes tech support doesn't know how to solve the problem - but I've only experienced this with one issue and that is site speed. likely the best solution is to upgrade to better hosting.

If there's a fix for the problem I'm having, they typically find it and help me implement it. In addition to that, they are available 24/7 to help so I know that they've got my back if I run into any problems whatsoever. Sometimes, wait times can be a little bit long, but honestly, the longest I've waiting was maybe 15 mins, so it's not too bad. Usually, I get through to them within 2-5 mins of calling.

The organization backend is strong. Servers are costly but good.

Web Hosting Hub is my preferred go-to when selecting hosting for a small business or freelance operation and it is also one of the lowest cost solutions that I have seen. This paired with their really excellent and always-available tech support (which I have called on holidays, weekends, and in the middle of the night) makes them a great option in my book.
In addition, they give you all the tools and access you need to manage your site no matter what you're trying to do. cPanel is a familiar environment and I have not noticed any bugs while logged in.
