VPS Hosting · $17/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB SSD, 3000 GB transfer)
Liquid Web's $17/mo Compute 3 is significantly overpriced compared to stronger-spec alternatives at a fraction of the cost. Multiple providers offer 4GB RAM + 2 vCPU configurations for $5-7/mo with better or equal storage and bandwidth, though renewal pricing traps are common across the industry.
Doubles your RAM (8GB vs 4GB) and vCPU (4 vs 2) with 100GB SSD and unlimited traffic for one-third the price, though requires 24-month prepay to hit this rate.
Caveat: 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
Matches your 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU with 40GB NVMe, includes daily backups, and unlimited traffic for 73% less; strong SLA at 99.99%.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour surcharge; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
Offers 4GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 50GB NVMe SSD, 4TB transfer, and weekly backups for 62% less; AMD EPYC and 1 Gbps port included.
Caveat: Intro price requires 12-48 month prepay; renewal jumps to $11.99/mo (85% increase); only 1 vCPU vs Liquid Web's 2.
Delivers 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 40GB SSD, and 20TB transfer for 62% less; transparent pricing with no surprise renewal jumps.
Caveat: VAT excluded from listed price; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; recent price increases on other lines (CPX/CCX up 2.4-2.75x in June 2026).
Matches 2GB RAM and 2 vCPU with 80GB NVMe and unlimited traffic (up to 1 Gbit/s) for 75% less than Liquid Web.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal pricing 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance tiered at $0.036/GB.
