VPS Hosting · $22/mo (2 GB RAM, 3 vCPU, 60 GB SSD, 2000 GB transfer)
Liquid Web's $22/mo CPU 1 plan is significantly overpriced compared to feature-equivalent alternatives. Multiple providers offer 2-4x more RAM, equal or better storage, and comparable vCPU counts for $4-10/mo, though renewal pricing traps and bandwidth overages are common across the industry.
4GB RAM (2x Liquid Web), 2 vCPU, 100GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and $50 Amazon gift card promo for $4.18/mo intro rate.
Caveat: Renewal jumps to $9.99-15.99/mo after intro term; 36-month contract required for lowest price; domain and privacy add-ons become paid after year one.
2GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB NVMe, unlimited traffic (vs 2TB cap), and 99.99% SLA for $4.33/mo intro rate.
Caveat: Renewal pricing is 2-6x higher after 1-year promo contract; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance costs $0.036/GB; additional IPv4 addresses are $6/month each.
4GB RAM (2x Liquid Web), 2 vCPU, 40GB NVMe, unlimited traffic, daily backups, and 99.99% SLA for $4.54/mo.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour surcharge; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
4GB RAM (2x Liquid Web), 2 vCPU, 40GB SSD, 20TB transfer (10x Liquid Web), and 99.9% SLA for $6.49/mo.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines (2.4-2.75x); traffic overage billed per GB beyond regional pool; setup fees on dedicated servers increased in 2026.
4GB RAM (2x Liquid Web), 2 vCPU, 80GB NVMe SSD, 1TB transfer, 1 Gbps port, and 99.9% SLA for $9.99/mo.
Caveat: Renewal rates reported at 2-3x intro price; medium confidence sourcing; free domain and promo pricing require 12-36 month prepay commitments.
