VPS Hosting · $22/mo (6 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 120 GB SSD, 4000 GB transfer)
Liquid Web's $22/mo Compute 4 is significantly overpriced compared to feature-equivalent alternatives. Multiple providers offer 4GB-8GB RAM, 2-4 vCPU, and 100GB+ SSD storage for $4-13/mo, though most carry steep renewal penalties and require long-term prepay to hit advertised rates.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 100GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and includes $50 Amazon gift card promo for less than one-fifth Liquid Web's price.
Caveat: Renewal jumps to $9.99-15.99/mo after intro term; requires 36-month prepay for lowest rate; domain and privacy add-ons renew at full price after year one.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 40GB NVMe, unlimited traffic, daily backups, and 99.99% SLA for under $5/mo.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD, unlimited traffic for $5.94/mo - double the RAM and vCPU of Liquid Web at one-quarter the price.
Caveat: Price requires 24-month prepay; 1-12 month terms cost significantly more; subject to fair-usage throttling on sustained high bandwidth; ticket-only support.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 120GB NVMe, unlimited traffic, 99.99% SLA, and matches Liquid Web's storage for 70% less.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each; outbound data beyond 2TB is metered.
6GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 120GB SSD, 3TB transfer, unmanaged by default but closest spec match to Liquid Web at less than 60% of the price.
Caveat: Unmanaged (user-responsible) by default; managed options add $10-25/mo; renewal pricing substantially higher; no published SLA.
