Dedicated Servers · $167.5/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1920 GB SSD (RAID-1), 10000 GB transfer)
Liquid Web's $167.50/mo entry dedicated server is competitively positioned but faces stiff competition from Contabo's dedicated and VPS tiers, which offer comparable or superior specs at lower monthly rates when accounting for renewal pricing and contract terms. Several VPS alternatives deliver 80-90% of the performance at 30-50% of the cost, though they trade bare-metal guarantees for virtualization.
Dedicated server with 64GB RAM, 12 cores, 1TB NVMe, and unlimited traffic at 38% less than Liquid Web; bare-metal performance without the premium markup.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay term; shorter terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic may throttle sustained high-bandwidth abuse.
Dedicated AMD Ryzen server with 64GB DDR5 RAM and 1.92TB NVMe at 71% discount; strong specs and European data center reliability.
Caveat: Setup fee raised to 79 EUR (approx $86) in 2026; traffic overages billed per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT not included in quoted price; renewal pricing subject to future increases.
VPS with 48GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 600GB NVMe, and unlimited traffic at 68% savings; excellent value for non-bare-metal workloads.
Caveat: 24-month prepay term required for quoted price; 12-month term costs more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 640GB NVMe SSD, and 1TB bandwidth at 67% less; self-managed flexibility with strong per-core performance.
Caveat: Renewal rates reported at 2-3x intro price; medium confidence sourcing; requires 12/24/36-month prepay for best pricing.
8 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and Docker/KVM support at 64% savings; strong feature set for developers.
Caveat: Steep renewal increases (280%+ reported on other tiers); monthly-only billing with no hourly option; free domain only first year.
