Says the speeds are still great but would not recommend it.

Has a dedicated server with Liquid Web bought in 2024 and was told it would rise about 51% on 17 days notice. The old price can only be kept by paying twelve months up front, which they find hard to afford as a self-employed customer.

Reddit · r/webhosting · 10 days ago

Was a Liquid Web customer for close to a decade and had several frustrating support experiences. When the renewal email threatened a 12% increase unless a one-year commitment was signed, it confirmed the decision to move to another host.

Reddit · r/webhosting · 10 days ago

Reddit · r/VPS · 60 days ago
