Is LiquidWeb Worth it?

Hi there!

I currently have 3 Proxmox servers in a cluster with OVH, but their customer service is shocking to say the least.

I've been trying to find a similar provider, but I can't find anything near as comparable for the price/spec I'm after.

The spec for each server is:

AMD Epyc 7351P - 16c/32t - 2.4 GHz/2.9 GHz
256 GB ECC 2400 MHz
2500 GB SSD NVMe
UK (This is a must)
Proxmox VE 6

I don't need any managed services, just access to the bare metal.

Can anyone recommend a provider who can provide me with a similar spec and price to these? I currently pay around £200/month per server.

Thanks!

Can you suggest me a web hosting company offer medium price managed server?

Hi Guys,

I guess they deserve to have this feedback, I've been using wholesaleinternet dedicated servers since 1st of January 2013 over 8 years damn! I am getting old

I used to have dedicated server with expensive providers before I met wholesaleinternet, believe or not I have less problem with wholesaleinternet after I changed from previous dedi provider. I have 0 problem last 5-6 years. These guys knows what they are doing from management to support, they have backup power, backup internet providers etc to maintain servers in good shape.

Price: I don't think you would find better pricing than wholesaleinternet I also have ovh budget dedicated servers close to wholesaleinternet prices they are also good after wholesaleinternet.

Support: When I had dedicated server with expensive service providers, response time of tickets around 2-12 hours. believe or not every time I create ticket with wholesaleinternet they response and make it happen solution nearly in an hour. My last interact was I need to have KVM and they installed within 30min. I have no words with these guys they are not only fast but also proactive.

I have been trying to find server admins for a Cpanel dedicated machine.

I find my experience has been the following in the last few years.

1) CHEAP -- great if nothing is needed. Low skills, low service. Outsourced to 3rd world countries. Only really available to do work during flip-flop hours (I am in USA). Never worth it in the end.

2) Affordable with either

a) GREAT service and low skills (still outsourcing to cheap freelancers?)
or
b) Poor service and low skills

3) Individual, who's pricing changes, availability changes, or business communications are not fully professional.

Is there anyone out there that has GREAT SERVICE and DECENT Pricing? or do I just need to bite it and pay $200 a month (twice the cost of the server lease) for decent administrative services?

My most recent and present experience is with a provider here from WHT. They are in the EU. Their reps log in from Germany and Greece. Usually in the US daytime, work is not done.

They told me they were UNABLE to repair the Kernel. Somehow, a previous admin had installed kernalcare and they claim it was removed and now causing errors in csf/lfd. (they didn't know how to fix it)
My only solution was to reinstall os or buy a New server from them.

Let me add, they were very pushy on how "old" my machine was and that was the reason support was slow.

they had problems backing up the system and couldn't guarantee it would work right again unless I bought anew server from them.

I didn't, they are in the EU and I am in the US, so not worth the GDPR compliance hassles.

So Did the reinstall with my DC.

Guess what, same problems...and more. For days. Their "pro-active" admin didn't catch these errors. I had to report them. eventually many of them got them fixed.

Except now, most sites are NOT working properly.

Basic things like .htaccess file and default.htm not recognized and working.

They told me because there are so many possibilities of php/configurations, we need to go through every site and test every function, then let them know, site by site, issue by issue.

Except they all worked fine before...

I have lost a LOT OF TIME and MONEY with this.

So, now, once again, looking for a company that can work with CPANEL and not blame the last admin or the server on their inability to manage it.

Anyone else have this issue?

how did you resolve it, just keep trying and trying, month after month with company after company?

Normally, I would just go with a dedicated machine that came with management. I didn't have these problems when I did. But the servers cost 3 times as much.

I guess I am asking, am I missing something or Is this just part of saving money on a dedi? No way around it except to just pay for the topline?

This current admin company is driving me insane! They are literally making my server worse...

I have lost so much money in production time of not being able to develop websites!

This sever is for basic business sites.

So I am moving this server from dedicated self-managed (with 3rd party admin) and now need a fully managed server.

This is just to host multiple websites. so we very rarely have issues on the server.

I need cpanel/whm

I am used to having multiple processors with multiple cores, but they are quite old, so maybe the more powerful processors can beat it?

It's an old server but has been a workhorse for development with no real issues.

i'd like the equivalent or better. Ideally under $200 month ($150 would be great!)

-- is this even possible?

who do you recommend? Any black friday/cyber Monday specials?

Hi there,

Can people recommend premium dedicated server providers who take uptime seriously and offer IPMI, redundant power, private networks, EPYC Rome configurations with NVMe, etc?

We don't need uncapped public network interfaces -- 25TB total between all our servers is fine, but the private network needs to be 10G+.

We used to use SoftLayer before IBM bought them. We're currently hosted with a very premium provider in Chicago but we're not getting the service we used to get there.

OVH's latest "enterprise" dedicated configurations (HG) look pretty good but... has anyone used them? Is OVH decent?

Thanks!

After 2 weeks working forth and back with Liquidwebs staff to secure our servers we have to give up.

The situation is that frustrating that we need to find a different hosting center for a managed dedicated server.

I was wondering if anyone know of companies reliable for a small ecommerce website?

If you can't suggest any here then maybe you can hint me what to look for?

We want the server to be located in Europe and has to be managed but with Plesk or cPanel.

Hello people i am working to make a vps service.

I allready started with 4 Xeon E3-1230/40 Servers with 16 gb ram and 500 gb ssd 5 ip usables - i am paying now 30$ month for each server ( 120$ total )

i was looking for another provider with better protection anti ddos , better network , better location...

I look for a new provider with this config Dual Xeon E5-2430 - 64 GB RAM - 3 x500 GB SSD... 100$ month. 20 IPs

I have a very tight budget because I have very low prices....

I just don't want to degrade the performance of the service to my clients, I don't oversell on any server.

I am using vmware esxi and proxmox .... and all my vps are using windows server

any recomendation o provider is welcome.

Thanks

We've been with Hetzner for years and, while satisfied with the hardware and technical support and infrastructure, quite unhappy with support/sales/abuse departments where it always feels like they're doing one a favor in even answering and often make little effort to actually help.

So my question is if there's any hosting provider to match what they offer? We want to upgrade from our current servers and one type of servers we looked into are https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax41 which you can get in Germany* for 39 EUR/month (plus 39EUR setup fee) (prices without VAT as we're outside EU). This is a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Hexa-Core which has a passmark > 17,000 and comes with 64GB RAM and 2 x 512 GB NVMe SSD. When I found something similar with OVH (slightly better CPU, 3600X instead of 3600), it 105 USD per month when committing to 24 months which is more than double.

Another type we were looking at is the https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax51

Anyway, any matching offers elsewhere? We can probably take some bandwidth limitation and cool with either EU or US locations.



*They have a center in Finland but when I did a bit of research it seemed it offers much worse network connectivity so while 5 EUR cheaper per server, doesn't seem to be worth the risk.
