Uptime Guarantee<\/strong><\/p>\n

Website uptime is very important as you could lose hundreds of dollars of service and business\u00a0thanks to\u00a0a few minutes of downtime. LiquidWeb provides a great way to avoid this by powering their customer servers with four world-class data centers which they personally run and manage. They, like other providers, guarantee 100% uptime for their clients, but they do it a little differently than the rest. LiquidWeb will credit your account 10x the times of the downtime you experience. If your website goes offline for 1 hour, your account will be credited with 100 free hours of web hosting. So even if on the small chance your servers go down, LiquidWeb compensates you generously.<\/p>\n

LiquidWeb\u2019s Sonar Monitoring team is a dedicated group of technicians whose sole purpose is to ensure service dependability and instant problem resolution. They key is immediate response, reduced downtime, and resolution of problems before the customer becomes aware of them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Pricing and Features<\/strong><\/p>\n

LiquidWeb\u2019s fully managed VPS service is managed through different pricing tiers that are divided into five options based on power features and flexibility that\u00a0clients need. They\u2019re divided between 1GB RAM, 2GB RAM, 4GB RAM, 8GB RAM, and Larger Plan VPS options. It\u2019s important to note that their pricing per tier doesn\u2019t have a fixed rate and are not bound by contracts.

LiquidWeb\u00a0SMB Hosting Review 2020 – Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

The adage, to see is to believe<\/em> certainly applies to LiquidWeb\u2019s hosting solutions. They’re kind of unbelievably good. They provide a powerhouse of features, software and hardware, matched with their own brand of Heroic Support team of engineers and technicians unrivaled in the industry. That said, the expensive prices mean that not a lot of small businesses may have the budget to enjoy their services. Plus, their starter VPS plans are not as robust as other providers’ offerings, despite the premium prices. But if you can spare the cash, then LiquidWeb is definitely a good choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
