    The Liquid Web Advantage:

    Managed Support
    - Liquid Web's highly trained staff monitors your system services 24/7 to ensure service consistency and availability. If a problem is detected, our experienced and trained technicians get paged and incident response is nearly instantaneous, mitigating the impact of any service or hardware failure to the highest possible degree. As we own and operate our entire data center directly, we are able to respond quickly and efficiently to issues of any impact level. From simple software service failures to catastrophic hardware failures our on-site level 3 technicians are able to react without delay, 24 hours per day.

    A large range of system software updates are handled for all clients. We update basic system software such as Apache and PHP upon request, perform security updates, as well as any other general system administration duties you may need. While a good working command line knowledge is useful, with Liquid Web, you may never need to log in through SSH again.

    On average, our helpdesk tickets are initially answered in under 20 minutes, and our phones are answered in under 30 seconds.

    Liquid Web Managed Support Definition

    Proactive Security Updates and Security Notifications
    - Vulnerability discovery, assessment and response can be a time
    consuming process. Liquid Web handles this responsibility on your behalf through an optimized assessment and upgrade process which allows us to continually evaluate and respond to the security of our managed servers.
    When a high-risk vulnerability is discovered, such as kernel or SSH vulnerability, we immediately patch your server as soon as an update is available, at no additional charge. If a vulnerability is discovered in a software package which may have a custom configuration or where an update could cause a conflict, we initiate contact with you immediately so you may advise us on to how you would like us to proceed.

    Quite simply, we employ intelligent proactive security, ensuring your server is secure and functional to the highest level possible. This way you get all the benefits of proactive security, but don't have to worry about unwanted service disruptions. Of course, you can always opt out of the proactive upgrade process if you would like.


    Intelligent Attack and TOS Resolution
    - Liquid Web will never simply "pull the plug" on your server in response to a denial of service attack, TOS violation, or billing issue. We believe in communicating with clients, and will always be sure to contact you via phone or email before any major action is taken if it is at all avoidable. We know your server is your business and uptime is crucial which is why we are proud to offer you the personal care you deserve.


    Liquid Web Datacenter
    - Our multi-homed network is powered by premium tier-1 bandwidth featuring diverse path OC-48 fiber connectivity with carriers MCI/UUNet and Savvis/Cable & Wireless. The implementation of premium tier-1 bandwidth as well as N+1 redundant routing hardware ensures enhanced stability and superior performance in reliability, throughput and latency. Coupled with BGP, network consistency is assured in the event of a provider network outage, low level line failure, fiber cut, or even a core routing hardware failure. Power systems are reliable and robust featuring a large centralized UPS system and massive backup generator, providing our datacenter with continual power even in the event of extended total electrical blackout. Environmental systems keep ambient temperatures at a constant and actively remove foreign particulates from the air to ensure the best ventilation possible for all servers. All network traffic is monitored by an Intrusion Detection System to alert us to any nefarious activity at any network layer before it can impact service consistency. Datacenter entry is limited to technician staff and security monitored throughout our entire facility utilizing an array of CCTV cameras running 24/7.

    Quite simply, our entire datacenter was engineered from the ground up for maximum performance, stability, and security.

    Awesome. I've been looking at getting another server and I think this just sealed the deal. My current server with LiquidWeb has had 100% network & power uptime for the past three months. They've been so close to perfect that it's scary.

    Can you confirm that if no control panel, it is self managed?

    And do you offer VPS license too if we buy your server as what theplanet offer?

    I can answer most of these questions being a current customer. No control panel is in fact self managed. Most servers are on 100mb ports, but are not guaranteed to be. BW is 800 in and 800 out, and adult content is allowed on dedicated servers.

    Furthermore, I would like to add that liquidweb has treated me like GOLD for the last 5 months. A+++ company in every aspect.

    LiquidWeb's customer portal keeps track of that 24/7 with numbers for the inbound & outbound traffic. Included are MRTG graphs.

    You can get 1500GB's total in+out with the Xeons & Opteron servers.

    That doesn't appear to be a stock option on their website. Their sales department however are excellent and can meet pretty much anyone's needs. You can call them at +1.800-580-4985. Hold times are usually less than a minute.

    Thanks for the feedback all!

    I think this will answer all of the questions posted so far in the thread:

    Most setups are completed within 24 hours.

    By default, our servers come on 100Mbit ports, although we reserve the right to set them down to 10Mbits in case of DOS or similiar activity.

    Our servers are fully managed with a control panel. Without a control panel they are self-managed.

    Legal adult content is allowed on our dedicated servers.

    The bandwidth ratio is set. Overage fees are $1.50/GB . You can contact us for a quote for additional transfer if you need it ahead of time.

    The offer will be available at least through this week - it may be extended, but we are unsure at the current time.

    Thumbs up Looking good so far!

    Things are looking real good with these guys at least as far as I'm concerned. I ordered one of their Professional series servers yesterday around noon, had my order confirmed over the phone within an hour, and received my welcome e-mail with server details at 9:30pm, despite their stating a 24 hour turnaround on new orders.

    Very quick service so far. Server appears to be very fast, although I'm still configuring it at the moment and have not gone live with it yet.

    They stay fast shackrat. My P4 servers with them have 200+ domains hosted on each, and still run as smooth as the day I started using them.

    Great!

    Bohica,

    I'm relieved to hear your say that. As we speak now, one of my other servers (not LiquidWeb) is down and waiting for a reboot (again). I plan to move off of it by the end of the day.

    Only hit one small bump in the road so far, the server is reporting 3.5GB of RAM instead of 4. I'm sure it'll be resolved soon though.

    With liquidweb, reboots are normally done within an hour maximum.

    You are probably using "non-client" support then, it's a bit slower than support that you get when you're a current customer.

    The reporting of 3.5GB of RAM rather than 4GB is due to how the Opteron architecture works - 3.5GB-4GB is reserved memory, and normal.

    Reserved memory? Exactly what is it reserved for? Sounds like a reiteration of the old 640k limit. ;-)

    Anyhow I must say that the issue was handled promptly despite my accidently closing the support ticket, twice. ;-)

    On another note, I'm still waiting for my old (unnamed) host to get the damned server up. It died about 4 hours ago and I haven't even received a response yet.
