The support was always pleasant to work with; however, lately, they are not able to help with any problems. No positives at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Liquid Web has been more than unprofessional and is a rip-off scheme at this point. Let me quantify this statement by saying that I have been a loyal customer of LW for the better part of 10 years, and I always seek their guidance to make upgrades and give them more business.
However, their quality of service has greatly declined over the last couple of years, and I can no longer ignore it. I have faced days of outages, hacks, and being manipulated into faulty upgrades even when I'm specific with my requirements—all while paying a premium to them.
I have recently switched from LW paying $1500+ a month for constant downtime and outages, only for LW to tell me they have no idea what the problem is, to a new hosting platform paying $64.99 a month. We have had zero downtime in months. On top of zero downtime compared to LW's constant, almost daily outages, upon migrating websites to this $64.99 hosting platform, my loading speeds were nearly cut in half. So to summarize, for $64.99 a month, I have gotten a functional hosting platform for 80 websites that have had zero downtime and also cut my loading times in half compared to paying $1500+ a month for LiquidWeb lies to me, abuses my trust, takes my money, provides a sub-par hosting service with constant outages, provides little to no support, I have to threaten escalations to get a response, longer loadings times, and now threats because I've caught on to their game. I'm leaving them for a better option. It's a shame what was once an excellent hosting service has turned into such a dumpster fire. I should have stopped making excuses for them a long time ago and stopped accepting mediocrity, but hindsight is 20/20.
If you're looking for a good-quality hosting service that will have your back, I recommend you go ANYWHERE but to LiquidWeb or Nexcess, their other company, which is also a rip-off. $200 for two websites. Insane. Not even WPEngine is that expensive, and at least WPEngine works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
