Two managed hosts, one priced for everyone.
Liquid Web is genuinely managed hosting with a strong reputation, but it is priced at a premium and bills backups and a mail gateway separately. RemarkableCloud is fully managed with a 500% SLA, flat all-in pricing, and backups and mail included on every plan. Choose Liquid Web if its premium positioning fits your budget. Choose RemarkableCloud if you want comparable management at a lower all-in price.
Liquid Web is a premium fully managed hosting provider.
Liquid Web has been in managed hosting since 1997 and has built a strong reputation for genuinely managed VPS, dedicated, and cloud servers aimed at agencies, businesses, and high-end workloads. Management is real and deep: OS administration, monitoring, security, and responsive support are all included, with compliance-ready and HIPAA-capable hosting available. For a team that wants premium managed hosting and an enterprise-grade product range, Liquid Web is a credible and well-regarded choice.
The differences with RemarkableCloud are price and what comes bundled. Liquid Web is positioned at a premium, with an entry tier priced well above RemarkableCloud's, and offsite backups and an enterprise mail relay are billed separately rather than included on every plan. Its uptime SLA is a 100% guarantee, but credits depend on filing a claim after the fact. Liquid Web is genuinely managed hosting. The question on this page is how its pricing and its SLA process compare to flat all-in pricing and a 500% SLA with automatic credits.
Reliable cloud, or a server with a team.
Linode and RemarkableCloud both give you a Linux server on solid hardware, but the service around it is very different. Two differences matter most.
Linode is self-managed cloud.
Linode gives you a reliable virtual machine and a clean dashboard, but OS patching, monitoring, security, incident response, the firewall, and mail are all your responsibility, indefinitely.
RemarkableCloud is a managed server with a team.
Our team handles OS patching, security hardening, monitoring, incident response, the firewall, the mail gateway, and backups proactively, before issues reach you. You deploy code, we run the server.
Linode's SLA is threshold-based.
Linode's uptime SLA pays credits only after downtime crosses a limit, and claiming them requires filing a request. Backups are an optional paid add-on rather than a default inclusion.
RemarkableCloud's 500% SLA.
1 hour down equals 5 hours credited. From minute one, automatically, with no threshold to cross and no claim to file. Daily snapshots and free S3 backup storage are included on every plan.
What you actually get for the same money.
Liquid Web is genuinely managed, but it is priced at a premium, and offsite backups and an enterprise mail relay are billed as separate add-ons on top of the plan. RemarkableCloud's Shared CPU 8 GB Cloud Cube is $36 per month with annual billing, a dedicated fully managed server with the control panel, daily snapshots, free S3 backup storage, the mail gateway, and a 500% SLA all included. Comparable management, one flat all-in price.

Performance, side by side.
Liquid Web runs genuinely managed servers on capable enterprise hardware in its own US data centers, a solid premium platform. Every RemarkableCloud Cloud Cube runs on current-generation enterprise Intel and AMD processors at 3 GHz or higher, with 100% NVMe storage, dedicated resources, full root access, and a 50 Gbps DDoS-protected network on every plan, including the $8/month Basic tier.
Liquid Web infrastructure
Enterprise hardware in owned data centers
Liquid Web runs its managed servers on capable enterprise hardware in data centers it operates itself. The infrastructure is genuinely solid, a real premium managed-hosting platform.
Genuine managed-hosting depth
Liquid Web includes real server management: OS administration, monitoring, security, and responsive support, with compliance-ready hosting available. This is a true managed service.
Storage type varies by tier
Liquid Web's standard managed VPS tiers use SSD storage, with NVMe available on higher or specific configurations. NVMe is not the flat baseline across every plan.
Network and protection scale with plan
Network throughput and DDoS protection on Liquid Web depend on the plan, with higher-end protection available as part of premium configurations rather than a single flat baseline.
RemarkableCloud infrastructure
Current-generation enterprise CPUs at 3 GHz+
Every Cloud Cube runs on modern Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC server-grade processors at 3 GHz or higher. Consistent clock speeds, the same caliber of hardware used in demanding data center workloads,

Three steps to leave Liquid Web.
RemarkableCloud handles the full migration from any Liquid Web server at no cost. Most migrations complete in 2 to 24 hours with no downtime planned. You stay on Liquid Web until we confirm the new server is verified and ready.
Order your Cloud Cube
Pick a Cloud Cube plan and complete the order. We provision the new server and send migration credentials within minutes. Your Liquid Web server stays running and serving traffic. No reconfiguration on the Liquid Web side.
We migrate your full stack
Our team copies files, databases, mail accounts, DNS records, and SSL certificates from your Liquid Web server to the new Cloud Cube. We test everything on a staging URL before cutover. You review and approve. No surprises, no rushed migrations.
Coordinated cutover, then go live
When you approve, we point your domain DNS to the Cloud Cube during a coordinated window. Final database sync, DNS propagation, post-migration verification, then you cancel the Liquid Web server. You are fully live on RemarkableCloud.
Four reasons teams move from Liquid Web to RemarkableCloud.
Teams running production workloads on Liquid Web move to RemarkableCloud for four consistent reasons: they want comparable management at a lower all-in price, they want a 500% SLA with automatic credits, they want backups and a mail gateway included rather than billed separately, and they want one predictable bill with no add-on creep.
Comparable management, lower all-in price.
Liquid Web is genuinely managed, and so is RemarkableCloud. The difference is the bill. Liquid Web is positioned at the premium end, with an entry tier priced well above a comparable Cloud Cube. RemarkableCloud delivers the same kind of proactive, fully managed service for a substantially lower flat monthly price, with a comparable tier far below Liquid Web's.
A 500% SLA with automatic credits.
Liquid Web backs its servers with a 100% uptime guarantee, but credits are not automatic, collecting them depends on noticing the downtime and filing a claim. RemarkableCloud's 500% SLA credits 5 hours for every hour of downtime, automatically, from the first minute, with no claim to file. The credit is calculated and applied to your next invoice for you.
Backups and mail included, not add-ons.
On Liquid Web, offsite backup storage and an enterprise mail relay are billed separately on top of the plan. RemarkableCloud includes daily snapshots with free offsite S3 storage, sized at twice the NVMe disk of the plan, plus the MailChannels SMTP relay with Rspamd antispam. A real recovery point and inbox-grade mail deliverability are part of the service from day one.
One predictable bill, no add-on creep.
With Liquid Web, the plan price is a starting point, and backups, a mail relay, and higher-end protection are extra line items. On RemarkableCloud, management, the control panel, daily backups, offsite S3 storage, the mail gateway, and the 500% SLA are all included on every Cloud Cube. The price you see is the bill you pay, this month and next year.
When Liquid Web is the right choice. When RemarkableCloud is.
Liquid Web is the wrong answer for some buyers and the right answer for others. Same for RemarkableCloud. The honest version of this page is which one matches the shape of your team and your workload. Here is the test.
Choose Liquid Web when
- You need compliance-ready hosting, including HIPAA-capable environments.
- You want a deep enterprise managed-services catalog beyond a single VPS.
- Your workload calls for a broad product range across VPS, dedicated, and cloud.
- A premium budget is in place and the higher price point is not a constraint.
- You want an established managed host with a long enterprise track record.
- You prefer to scope backups and protection tiers as separate, deliberate add-ons.
Choose RemarkableCloud when
- You want comparable fully managed service at a substantially lower all-in price.
- You want a 500% SLA with automatic credits, not a 100% guarantee with a claim form.
- You want offsite S3 backup storage and a mail gateway included free on every plan.
- You want NVMe storage on every plan, not SSD on the standard managed tier.
- You want a 50 Gbps DDoS-protected network as a baseline on every plan.
- You want one flat predictable bill with no add-ons to price up.
RemarkableCloud vs Liquid Web, your questions answered.
Is Liquid Web genuinely managed hosting?
Yes. Liquid Web has been in managed hosting since 1997, with real OS-level administration, monitoring, security, and responsive support included, plus compliance-ready and HIPAA-capable hosting available. It is a credible premium managed-hosting provider. RemarkableCloud is also genuinely fully managed, so the comparison is not about whether the management is real on either side. It is about pricing, whether the uptime guarantee pays out automatically, and whether features like offsite backups and the mail gateway are bundled or billed as add-ons.
How is RemarkableCloud's 500% SLA different from Liquid Web's guarantee?
Liquid Web backs its servers with a 100% uptime guarantee, but the credits are not automatic, collecting them depends on noticing the downtime and filing a claim. RemarkableCloud's 500% SLA credits you automatically from minute one of any downtime: one hour down means five hours of service credited back to your account. There is no claim form to file and no support ticket required. The credit is calculated and applied to your next invoice for you.
Why is RemarkableCloud less expensive than Liquid Web?
Liquid Web is positioned at the premium end of managed hosting, with an entry tier priced well above a comparable Cloud Cube, and offsite backups and a mail relay billed as separate add-ons. RemarkableCloud delivers the same kind of proactive, fully managed service at one flat all-in price, with the control panel, daily snapshots, free S3 backup storage, the mail gateway, and the 500% SLA all included. It is not a thinner service at a lower price, it is comparable management without the premium positioning and the add-on line items.
Can I migrate from Liquid Web to RemarkableCloud for free?
Yes. RemarkableCloud includes free migration from Liquid Web on every Cloud Cube plan, with no engineering work required on your side. Our team copies your files, databases, mail accounts, DNS records, and SSL certificates from your Liquid Web server to your new Cloud Cube, tests everything on a staging URL, then coordinates a cutover window with you. Most migrations complete in 2 to 24 hours with no planned downtime, and you stay on Liquid Web until we confirm the new server is verified.
When is Liquid Web the better choice?
If you need compliance-ready hosting, including HIPAA-capable environments, or a deep enterprise managed-services catalog spanning VPS, dedicated, and cloud, Liquid Web is a credible and well-established choice, and its premium positioning reflects that range. RemarkableCloud is built for teams that want comparable fully managed service for a standard production workload at a substantially lower all-in price, with a 500% SLA and backups and mail included. For most teams that do not have a specific compliance-certification requirement, RemarkableCloud is the lower total cost.
