- Do I really need a VPS or is there something else out there that would fit me better?by /u/simtechonline on May 10, 2026 at 3:35 am
I’m currently hosting 8 websites, all have low traffic and are more informational and vanity sites. No databases, no ecommerce, not a lot of disk space needed. What I do need is the ability for lots of email addresses. I’ve always run Plesk, which allows me to make a main email address and then create hundreds of alias email addresses that I can send and receive from, but I would only need to set up the main email address in my Outlook. I like doing this because I track where spam and viruses come from. When one of my alias addresses starts getting junk emails I can complain to whatever company or person leaked my address out. If I had a netflix account I would create a [netflix@domain.com](mailto:netflix@domain.com) which would be used solely on that account. Same with my credit cards, stores, family and friends. 20ish years ago when I first started leasing, I was running things like forums and sites with shopping card software, but not anymore. I do really like the flexibility of a VPS… adding websites when i want and gobs of custom email addresses that can all go to one inbox. But is a VPS really needed for me now, or am I renting way too much server for what i really am doing? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/simtechonline [link] [comments]
- When did Liquid Web lose its way?by /u/OneDev42 on May 9, 2026 at 9:48 pm
I remember back in the day, Liquid Web always had your back when things went wrong. You got a real, energetic, capable person on the line, ready to solve your problems. I called them the other day and it sounded like I was talking to somebody who was an extremely bored person. No interest in really pursuing the issue or solving the problem. So I said maybe I should downsize. Turns out that was even going to be an adventure. I spent maybe half an hour in chat with a guy from the billing team in like text chat, none of which ended up in the ticket or recorded in any way. Never gave me a transcript. Spent a day before I got any reply to a ticket. I noticed they push everything off to a ticket these days. They take multiple days to solve basic issues but mostly the problem never really gets solved. They just tire you out until you give up. Such a shame as the company was literally a lifesaver back in the day. submitted by /u/OneDev42 [link] [comments]

- Need a new web hostby /u/Choice-Weekend-9771 on May 8, 2026 at 6:26 pm
I have a small travel agency and we have a WordPress site. I took over the agency a year ago and the website and host came with it. The current host has her own account on LiquidWeb and we are under her. I have tried for months to get in contact with her to make edits and manage issues that have come up and she has not responded. I emailed from every email account I have, reached out on social media, texted and called, and even had LiquidWeb reach out. Nothing. The website went down last weekend for the whole weekend and I can’t have that so it’s now imperative that I move the website somewhere else. But I’m very overwhelmed with the amount of hosting choices. I need somewhere that could move the WordPress site for me so I don’t lose any information and manage all of that, but it also can’t be too crazy expensive per month. Any suggestions? submitted by /u/Choice-Weekend-9771 [link] [comments]
