User Testimonials
	Liquid Web	Rackspace Managed Private Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend	Liquid Web Inc. Liquid Web is suitable for serious users who have high end web applications or critical business oriented websites. cPanel and WHM comes out of the box with almost every server you buy. And if you don't have time to manage your own server, Liquid Web will suit you well. Their support is awesome. They help beyond the scope of the support. I had to migrate almost 25 big sites to another Liquid Web server, the support guys made it so easy for me. Incentivized Kaushik Somaiya Owner Read full review	Rackspace I used gsuite so they have many feature where expensive too on the other hand rackspace email solution is cheaper with limited facility. Incentivized Rana Kayser Bibu Asst. Manager IT Read full review
Pros	Liquid Web Inc. Customer Service — Amazing support, if needed. Site Speed — Our website sped up by 50% just by moving our hosting to Liquid-Web. Knowledge — We've learned a lot as an organization by following the Liquid Web blog. Incentivized Lindsay Halsey Co-Founder Read full review	Rackspace Allies manipulation so that we can rename the email box easily. Microsoft Office support it's helps to use office 365 Chat support for any error Price is reasonable No need to worry about configuration all are easy to use. Incentivized Rana Kayser Bibu Asst. Manager IT Read full review
Cons	Liquid Web Inc. The tutorial area is excellent, but perhaps they could add video tutorial. Chat conversations should be added automatically to the client portal. Incentivized Francisco Mosse Director Read full review	Rackspace Need to be more cheaper Signature system improvement Spam protection should be more strong Custom url facility Storage Drive service Incentivized Rana Kayser Bibu Asst. Manager IT Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Liquid Web Inc. We evaluated Kinsta and WPEngine. Both offer great platforms but the lack of solid phone support and the substantial difference in server resource allocation made Liquid Web a clear winner. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Rackspace Their service is complex. Need more technical skills to establish the service where rackspace is cheaper and easier to deploy Incentivized Rana Kayser Bibu Asst. Manager IT Read full review
Return on Investment	Liquid Web Inc. Liquid-Web has made it easier for me to take my focus away from handling constant server issues to being able to focus on my actual job in managing our websites. While there may not be a concrete number for this scenario, being able to perform my tasks more efficiently definitely helps company growth in the long run. Incentivized Tim Sleeper Web Developer Search Engine Optimization Read full review	Rackspace Negative impact is nothing Positive support is no hardware required in office premises. Easily can manage any issues from control panel. Incentivized Rana Kayser Bibu Asst. Manager IT Read full review
