As of October 2026, Liquid Web’s managed WordPress and WooCommerce hosting starts at $19 a month, or $205.20 a year, for one site with up to 50,000 monthly visits, and that is the regular price, not a first-term discount. The cheaper $9 Essentials tier no longer appears on its plans page, so Pro is now the entry plan. Servers work differently: a self-managed VPS starts at $5 a month, managed VPS at $36 for the first two months and then $72, and managed dedicated servers at $77 for two months and then $154, in US dollars.
Our Web Hosting Price Index tracks intro vs renewal prices across 22 hosting plans, including Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways and Hostinger.

Managed WordPress and WooCommerce plans
On Liquid Web’s managed WordPress page you pick a tier (Pro or Elite), a site count (1, 3, 5, 10 or 25) and 50,000, 150,000 or 400,000 monthly visits for each site. Storage and bandwidth are labeled “shared” and don’t grow with site count: a 10-site Pro plan still shows 15GB and 2TB. Annual plans are paid up front, and the plan page shows Pro at $19 a month, or $17.10 a month billed annually. A $9 Essentials tier used to sit below Pro; it’s no longer offered.
One-site prices
| Plan | Monthly visits | Storage | Bandwidth | Monthly | Annual, per month |
|---|
| Pro | 50,000 | 15GB | 2TB | $19 | $17.10 |
| Pro | 150,000 | 40GB | 3TB | $39 | $35.10 |
| Pro | 400,000 | 100GB | 5TB | $79 | $71.10 |
| Elite | 50,000 | 15GB | 2TB | $29 | $26.10 |
| Elite | 150,000 | 40GB | 3TB | $59 | $53.10 |
| Elite | 400,000 | 100GB | 5TB | $119 | $107.10 |
Multisite prices, 50,000 visits per site, billed monthly
| Plan | 3 sites | 5 sites | 10 sites | 25 sites |
|---|
| Pro | $39 | $59 | $99 | $199 |
| Elite | $59 | $89 | $169 | $329 |
What each tier includes
Every plan lists DDoS protection, a web application firewall, a Cloudflare-powered edge CDN, Object Cache Pro and Kadence Security Pro; the page copy adds free SSL and daily malware scans. The two tiers differ in backups and a few Elite extras:
- Pro: daily backups kept 14 days, staging sites, visual comparison and a self-serve migration tool.
- Elite: daily backups kept 30 days, plus Patchstack virtual patching, Stencils and “migration by a human.” On WooCommerce, Elite is the only tier with PHP worker autoscaling.
Both tiers include staging sites and visual comparison. The plan cards mark done-for-you migration (“migration by a human”) as an Elite feature, and the WooCommerce page says “Elite plans include a white-glove migration by our specialists.”
WooCommerce
WooCommerce plans cost the same as WordPress plans and, per Liquid Web’s FAQ, “include the same resources and PHP workers,” with WooCommerce preinstalled. On Elite, PHP workers autoscale up to 40 on the largest plans, with the first 24 hours each month included. There are no transaction fees or order limits. Our PHP workers guide explains why workers matter at checkout.
VPS pricing
VPS plans are priced per server. These monthly prices come from the self-managed and managed VPS pages (the 24GB self-managed price from the all-plans pricing page). Every plan except the $5 server is half price for two months:
| RAM | vCPU | SSD | Bandwidth | Self-managed | Managed |
|---|
| 1GB | 1 | 30GB | 1TB | $5 | Not listed |
| 4GB | 2 | 80GB | 3TB | $8.50, then $17 | $36, then $72 |
| 8GB | 4 | 240GB | 5TB | $22.50, then $45 | $50, then $100 |
| 16GB | 6 | 440GB | 7TB | $45, then $90 | $72.50, then $145 |
| 24GB | 6 | 540GB | 8TB | $61.50, then $123 | $89, then $178 |
Every plan includes root access, a dedicated IP and DDoS protection. Windows is offered from 4GB up, and cPanel and Plesk are listed as “available” with no license price shown. Liquid Web’s pricing page also lists hourly rates, such as $0.007 an hour for the 1GB server.
At regular prices, managed 4GB costs $55 a month more than self-managed. That adds 24/7 help with setup, security patches and software updates, and the managed page lists Acronis backup storage and a team-run migration. One caution: the all-plans pricing page shows a different managed VPS table, from $14.75 for two months and then $59 for 2 vCPU and 2GB, that the managed VPS page doesn’t list. Check the cart.
Dedicated and Cloud Dedicated servers
The managed and self-managed dedicated pages list four servers, each with 10TB of bandwidth. The first price covers two months; the second is the regular rate:
| Server | Cores | RAM | Storage | Managed | Self-managed |
|---|
| Intel Xeon E-2134 | 4 @ 3.5GHz | 12GB | 383GB SSD RAID-1 | $77, then $154 | $55.50, then $111 |
| Intel Xeon E-2246G | 6 @ 3.6GHz | 32GB | 792GB SSD | $109.50, then $219 | $87.50, then $175 |
| Intel Xeon 6226R Single | 16 @ 2.9GHz | 64GB | 1.7TB SSD | $237.50, then $475 | $215.50, then $431 |
| Intel Xeon 6226R Dual | 32 @ 2.9GHz | 128GB | 3.2TB SSD | $293.50, then $587 | $271.50, then $543 |
At regular prices, full management adds $43 to $44 a month. Liquid Web’s dedicated hosting hub lists other managed configurations with term discounts of 15% for two years or 10% for one year.
Cloud Dedicated adds a virtualization layer to dedicated hardware, so you can add CPU and RAM without moving data. Its plan table runs from $87 for two months, then $174 (6-core Intel 2356G, 32GB), to $266, then $532 (dual 6226R, 128GB). A card on the same page prices a 32GB E-2356G at $106.50, then $213, so confirm the configuration.
- Usage. WordPress pages say “usage-based extras (autoscaling, CDN overage) are listed in plan details” but print no rates. Liquid Web’s help-docs address for Sites & Stores CDN billing redirects to a Nexcess page that allows 250GB of Nexcess CDN bandwidth a month free, then $0.10 per GB.
- Unpriced add-ons: Performance Shield, and Cloudflare Enterprise on WooCommerce plans.
- Email. WordPress plan cards don’t list it. The add-ons page sells premium email, Acronis backups, SSL certificates and control panels, without prices.
- Taxes. The checkout notes “Taxes and overages may apply.”
Renewals, billing and refunds
The WordPress plan page lists Pro at $19 a month with no promotional price or later rate. Server discounts last two months, and the pricing page says promotions “are valid for new accounts only and do not apply to upgrades of existing servers.” The Terms of Service, effective May 8, 2024, add:
- Orders renew automatically, month to month “at the then-current monthly rates” if no term is set.
- Fees can rise on 30 days’ notice, from your next renewal term.
- Non-renewal needs written notice 30 days before the term ends; ending a term early costs the remaining monthly fees or the full prepaid amount.
- Except where stated, “all Services are non-cancellable and all Fees are non-refundable.”
No current pricing or product page advertises a money-back guarantee. An older Liquid Web tariff, effective in 2016, limited its 30-day guarantee to shared hosting and excluded VPS and dedicated servers.
Where Nexcess and Servers.com come in
Liquid Web’s footer now reads “Liquid Web, LLC by Nexcess Corp.” The Bare Metal item in its menu goes to sister brand Servers.com, though a Liquid Web bare metal page still lists an Intel E-2134 at $44 for two months, then $88, in US-Central only. Help docs for Sites & Stores, Liquid Web’s WordPress and WooCommerce platform, redirect to docs.nexcess.com, and its status link goes to status.nexcess.net.
The WordPress and WooCommerce plans themselves are still sold by Liquid Web: the Buy buttons lead to a Liquid Web checkout at sites-portal.liquidweb.com. Nexcess’s own Sites & Stores page shows no self-serve prices.
Liquid Web vs Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways and Hostinger
| Plan | Price | Sites | Traffic | Storage | Later price |
|---|
| Liquid Web Pro | $19 a month or $205.20 a year | 1 | 50,000 visits | 15GB | Same |
| Kinsta Single 35k | $35 a month or $350 a year | 1 | 35,000 visits | 10GB | Same |
| WP Engine Essential | $35 a month, or $336 for the first year | 1 | 25,000 visits | 10GB | “Subject to change” |
| Hostinger Premium | $2.99 a month on a 48-month prepay | 3 | Not stated on the plan card | 20GB | $10.99 a month |
| Cloudways Flexible, DigitalOcean Premium 1GB | $14 a month, billed hourly | Unlimited | Unlimited visits, 1TB transfer | 25GB | Same |
For one managed site, Liquid Web’s $19 Pro plan undercuts Kinsta and WP Engine, which start at $35 a month on their pricing and plans pages, with more visits and storage. Kinsta offers a free first month on select plans and a 30-day money-back guarantee; WP Engine’s $336 is a first-year price for new customers. See our Liquid Web vs Kinsta comparison and WP Engine pricing guide.
Hostinger costs less up front: its WordPress hosting page charges $143.52 for 48 months of Premium, renewing at $10.99 a month, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Cloudways charges per server, and its pricing page allows unlimited sites on a $14 server. Read our Hostinger review and Cloudways pricing guide.
Who Liquid Web fits, and who it doesn’t
Liquid Web fits a small business that wants managed WordPress at a low price that doesn’t jump at renewal, and stores that expect sale-day spikes, since Elite autoscales PHP workers. Agencies get 25-site plans from $199 a month (see our agency hosting guide), and growing teams can move to VPS, Windows or dedicated servers without changing companies.
It fits less well if you want a refund window, since the terms call fees non-refundable, or if you run media-heavy sites on the 15GB shared storage of 50,000-visit plans. Budget for email separately, and check prices in the cart, since Liquid Web’s pages don’t always agree. Our best managed WordPress hosting roundup, small-store WooCommerce guide and is managed WordPress hosting worth it cover the wider choice.
Bottom line
For WordPress, Liquid Web is one of the cheaper managed options at $19 a month, and annual billing saves only 10%, so monthly billing costs little extra. Pick Elite for a busy store. For servers, budget on the regular price that follows the two-month promo, and note that ending service takes 30 days’ written notice. When you’re ready, see Liquid Web’s current plans.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Liquid Web cost per month?
As of October 2026, managed WordPress and WooCommerce start at $19 a month for one site with 50,000 monthly visits. A self-managed VPS starts at $5 a month, while managed VPS is $72 and managed dedicated $154 a month once the two-month discount ends.
What is Liquid Web’s renewal price?
WordPress and WooCommerce plans show no intro discount, so the listed price is the ongoing price. VPS, dedicated and Cloud Dedicated plans are half price for two months, then bill at the regular rate shown beside the promo. The terms allow fee increases on 30 days’ notice, from your next renewal term.
Does Liquid Web offer a money-back guarantee?
Its current pricing and product pages don’t mention one, and its Terms of Service say that, except as otherwise provided, fees are non-refundable. If a refund window matters, get one in writing from sales before you buy.
Is Liquid Web managed WordPress now sold by Nexcess?
Not at checkout. As of October 2026 they’re sold through a Liquid Web checkout, though the company operates as Liquid Web, LLC by Nexcess Corp. and its Sites & Stores help docs redirect to Nexcess. Bare metal is the product that sends buyers to a sister brand, Servers.com.
Last checked: October 2026. Prices and plans change; check the vendor’s page before you buy.
