Setting up a VPS server with LiquidWeb

Using a Virtual Private Server (VPS) for your website has a number of benefits. Many of our customers have used a number of providers for web hosting, but we've found LiquidWeb to be one of the most consistent vendors for web hosting.

If you are experiencing a slow website, problems with website plugins, the inability to create a website backup easily, issues with viruses, permissions, or website security, then consider moving to a VPS on LiquidWeb.

We've chosen LiquidWeb for VPS server hosting because:

1. They have terrific technical support
2. They provide a managed service and will watch your server around the clock
3. Their live chat service will connect you (or us) to a real person, often instantly in the event of a major issue
4. The service is virtualized, meaning that the server resources can be scaled up and down as appropriate
5. Their servers come with WHM and Cpanel, which is a huge time saver for server management and configuration
