Free bandwidth upgrade on all Liquidweb servers

Well, what a surprise that I saw in my email this morning. Apparently, LiquidWeb is now giving out free bandwidth to all their clients.

See this image for more information

 

Nice, I know several members are with liquid web.

 

where you see that image, can't find it on their web site ?

 

It's probably a scam i'd say.

 

k found it at their blog http://www.liquidweb.com/blog/index.php/introducing-free-bandwidth/ looks like it isn't an upgrade but pricing policy change

upgrade would be like 10TB quota customers getting 15TB quota now

but it's just first 5TB free which I guess is still a big deal for customers using <5TB per month !

10TB looks expensive though.

wow configuring a server from liquidweb has sky high prices

• E3-1240
• 16GB
• 2x 1TB 7200RPM SATA raid 1
• 10TB
• Gigabit Uplink
• WHM/Cpanel
• US$639/month !!! or US$389/month with the free 5TB bandwidth

versus

my $99/month

• E3-1270
• 16GB 2x1TB 7200RPM SATA raid 1
• 10TB
• Gigabit Uplink
• US$99/month and US$32/month for WHM/Cpanel

 

OUCH! Where did you get your server?

 

from https://www.databasebydesignllc.com/ on special but even normal prices are < US$220/month

for US$639/month you can get much better and new Xeon E5-26xx series servers https://www.databasebydesignllc.com/premium_e5_sandy_bridge_dedicated_server_hosting.html

i.e. for US$504/month

Note, web host is unmanaged provider so need to know your way around a server

 

Liquidweb sounds like a complete scam to me.

Those prices are pretty high for 15TB's worth of space.
That includes a server that costs your rented house to configure.

Nah I'm better off with the plan that I am on over at http://www.cloudaccess.net which is $19.95 a month for unlimited usage of their services.

 

bandwidth not storage space

 

It came in through an email from [email protected]

 

Yeah but I am not talking storage space George. I am talking about bandwidth.
A forum that I used to post on who has recently moved from vBulletin to Xenforo had a hell of a lot of bandwidth issues. Everytime you posted up a youtube video or a gif the site would get error messages.
