Limiting CPUs is bad news
CPUs power your website, handling everything from file requests to Google crawls to traffic spikes. SiteGround restricts them.
If your site exceeds its CPU limit, SiteGround may take it down. Unless, of course, you upgrade your plan … immediately.
Liquid Web doesn’t set hard resource limits or hold your site hostage. Your hosting auto-scales to keep costs low as you grow.
Costs accrue when you renew
SiteGround's discounts come at a high price: up to 600% more than your monthly fee. And a year-long commitment.
If you renew, full payment is due 15 days before your "one year" ends. Upgrading your plan cancels your discount altogether.
At Liquid Web, we value your loyalty. With competitive pricing and flexible contracts, you can expect stable billing for years to come.
SiteGround support falls short
Not only is it hard to reach SiteGround by phone, but there’s also a long list of what they won’t help you with.
Help with malicious code, databases, and plugin conflicts aren’t covered. They’ll tell you to hire a developer or pay them a fee to fix it.
Liquid Web surpasses SiteGround's support limitations. Our WordPress experts are available 24/7/365 to help with a wide range of issues.
SiteGround isn’t made for WooCommerce
It’s hard to turn a profit at SiteGround. Instead of including what WooCommerce needs to thrive, they upsell you … over and over.
There are no tailored resources, optimizations, or tools. Constant upsells on top of your plugin fees? Not ideal for a growing business.
Liquid Web can lower your WooCommerce costs by over $155/mo with premium plugins, monitoring tools, and optimized resources out of the box.
Wild-west plugin updates
At SiteGround, there’s no way to know how a plugin update will impact your WordPress site. If something goes wrong, you’re on your own.
You can’t preview visual changes or troubleshoot performance after an update. You can’t even stage your site for less than $24.99/mo.
At Liquid Web, every plan includes free staging, visual regression testing, and plugin monitoring to diagnose and solve problems fast.
Watch out - Pricing is not accurate
Company gets you in with a super sweet deal and does not disclose that they are going to put the price up 70% on your renewal. Not an honest way to do business.
It is also like a Maze trying to get to the live support. Yeah you know, go through 20 menus to find it.
IE they don't want you to contact them.
