Liquid Web is on the list for developers who want a server without doing the server administration. Its VPS plans can be self-managed or fully managed: the 4 GB plan with 2 vCPUs, 80 GB of SSD and 3 TB of bandwidth costs $18 per month, the 8 GB plan $47.75 and the 16 GB plan $95.50. A separate cloud VPS table starts lower, at $11 per month or $0.015 per hour for 1 vCPU, 2 GB of memory, 60 GB of storage and 2 TB of bandwidth. Plans run Linux or Windows with InterWorx, cPanel or Plesk available, and include root access, a dedicated IP address and unmetered inbound DDoS protection on a 10 Gbps network. Liquid Web backs this with a 99.99% uptime guarantee. The cost is the trade-off: Liquid Web has the highest entry price here, and promotions apply only to new accounts, so developers who are happy to run their own server will pay less elsewhere.
