A company who is just merely concerned about earning money should go down. That sucks bigtime. A company who is just merely concerned about earning money should go down.

I registered, they sent an email saying phone verification was voluntary, I was in no hurry so I let it be, days and days go by, I email them and they tell me they screen people and require verification. Uh, thanks for telling me? No email, nothing! Basically, my order was pending the entire time so I was like, you know what, I'm outta here and within the next 15 minutes (yes that fast) I had a domain up and running on bluehost.com and saved 20% in the process! Site5 gets 2 thumbs down! I never actually got a chance to experience the hell that is Site5; I didn’t even make it that far.

We are now doing what you are doing with a dedicated server at Server Intellect. Having your own server is great NEVER get turned off for using up all the resources. We left LW for the same reasons.

They are horrible to work with and aren't reliable. I've been over changed a $100 USD for just changing a domain name, then I had everything setup on two websites and lost everything on both. I can keep going on.... Yes, I agree with the Surpass rant. They are horrible to work with and aren’t reliable.

We had a client site sit on a server with them, the server kept on crashing from small bursted loads, at the time I wasn't in-charge of the server so we submitted a ticket to have them adjust the child processes and they said they would "optimize" the server and it still kept on crashing out. Eventually we go so pissed off from all the money being lost by their administrators lack of ability that we moved to Serverbeach (I've used them before plenty of times), haven't had a problem since, even during heavy advertising campaigns. I'll never use LiquidWeb again and I'm sure my client won't either because she had a way worse time before I came around to help her. LiquidWeb sucks to be honest.

You need to have the database pretty much on the client side so it doesn't load their servers with a flood of queries. But that's no issue for a blogging soft.
