Liquid Web Hosting Plans

Liquid Web Hosting tends to cater to a variety of business and other specific hosting needs, and not the basic blogging/beginner user, and as a result they no longer provide shared hosting plans. Liquid Web’s hosting plans include dedicated servers, VPS hosting, and cloud servers. Having said that, Liquid Web does now offer several managed cloud hosting offerings such as Managed WordPress, Managed WooCommerce, etc, as part of their partnership with Nexcess. As such, it’s still possible for new users / beginners to start blogging on WordPress for the first time on one of their Managed WordPress plans, getting the support they need along the way – something that’s not always available on budget shared hosting.
