Best Technical Support Team Ever!

I have never in my 20+ years of working online had any support as great as Liquid Web's. Their team is so knowledgeable and caring. When something is an emergency, they treat it with such respect and expediency and bring in specialists. BEST experience with technical support ever!

Thank you for saying this. I’m glad the team treated the situation with the urgency it deserved and got specialists involved when needed. – The Liquid Web Team

Liquid Web must take responsibility for LearnDash App’s unresolved critical issues

We are a company offering online courses in nautical education and certification. For several years, we have used LearnDash as our LMS, and until recently we had been very satisfied with the platform. However, our experience has changed completely after purchasing LearnDash App. Since LearnDash is owned by Liquid Web, we believe Liquid Web also has a responsibility for the quality, reliability and support of this product. During the spring, we invested a significant amount of time and money into preparing and launching our own apps. The launch was planned to take place during a major trade fair we attended in March. Unfortunately, LearnDash App has not delivered a functioning solution. At first, support responded quickly and helped resolve some bugs. But one major and business-critical issue remains unresolved: courses do not appear after opening the app. This makes the app essentially unusable for our students. We reported this issue on February 21, and at the time of writing it is still not solved. The case is now around 90 days old. What makes the situation even more disappointing is that we have had to chase support ourselves for updates, instead of being proactively informed. The answer has remained more or less the same: they are investigating and will get back to us. This is not a minor issue. It affects the core purpose of the app. Because of this, we cannot recommend LearnDash App, and we strongly urge Liquid Web to take ownership of the problem. Businesses that depend on their LMS for revenue and customer experience need stable products, reliable support and clear communication when critical issues occur. We have lost significant revenue due to these delays, and the situation has damaged both our business and our competitiveness. After several years as satisfied LearnDash customers, this has been a deeply disappointing experience.

Hi Marcus, We’re sorry to hear about this experience with LearnDash App. We understand how serious it is when courses do not appear in the app, especially after preparing for a launch tied to a major trade fair. We’d like to get this in front of the LearnDash team for review and escalation. We’ve requested more information through Trustpilot so we can identify the account and case. Please respond there with your ticket number, account email, or any related case details. Once we have that information, our team can review the issue, current status, and communication timeline so this can be followed up on appropriately. Sincerely, The Liquid Web Team

Left Without Support During a Critical Outage

Since they have expanded their customer support operations from the US to several other locations, the quality of their support has declined significantly. Chat support is now disabled, there are long queues for calls, and no one seems able to provide effective assistance. Since the recent cPanel vulnerability (CVE-2026-41940), everything has become inaccessible, and they have been unable to resolve the issue and not even communicating.

Hi Faraz, We’re sorry to hear about this experience, especially during an outage tied to the recent cPanel vulnerability. We understand how serious it is when services are inaccessible and communication is not clear during a critical issue. I’m having our team look into this now so we can review what happened, confirm the current status, and make sure the case is being followed up on appropriately. Sincerely, The Liquid Web Team

Shame on this company

I’ve been with them for 10 years, overpaying for their servers! Now that I actually needed to restore a backup, it failed and the server won't boot. Their chat support is completely useless...they have no idea what they are talking about, and my ticket has gone unanswered for over 24 hours! Luckily, I had an older backup saved locally and I have the technical skills to migrate my main website to another server, even though it was a complex job. These guys deserve to go out of business!!! I am absolutely furious!! [Case #: 46501740] MS-00306769 UPDATE: after 3 days, the server is still down. They ignore my messages. UPDATE 2: Following the massive downtime that left my website offline for over three days, this company reached a new low. Despite failing to resolve the issue and leaving me with non-functional backups, which forced me to restore an outdated local save migrating to a new hosting company, they actually had the nerve to send me another invoice for the backup service. On the exact day I terminated my server, I explicitly demanded the removal of my credit card and cut all ties with them. Not only have they offered zero compensation for the severe disruption to my business, but they are still actively trying to take my money. Unbelievable and completely unprofessional. I honestly hope this company goes out of business.

Reply from Liquid Web Inc.2026-05-05

Hi Fulmine, We’re sorry to see that this is still unresolved after three days. At this point, we want to get this in front of support leadership for immediate review. We’ve requested more information through Trustpilot so we can identify the account and case. Please respond there with your case number, account ID, or the primary domain tied to the account. Once we have that information, our team can review the restore attempt, server status, and communication timeline so this can be escalated appropriately.

Don't know what happend to Nexcess.

Don't know what happend to Nexcess. Very bad support experience, not even able to reach the Technical Support anymore. "They have too many requests" yeah, right. I am not able to restore backups from Nexcess itself due to error message: "Something went wrong restoring backup from May 4, 2026 1:52 AM." I can't wait to get this backup restored and to leave Nexcess. I can't count on Nexcess anymore. I'm done. Issue after issue with them.

Hi Justin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience. What you’ve described certainly isn’t the level of service we aim to provide, and we’d really like the opportunity to look into this further for you. Could you please provide additional details, such as a ticket number or account ID, so we can investigate? Once we have those details, we’ll be able to take a closer look and work to resolve the issues you’ve encountered. We appreciate your patience and the chance to make this right.

Two days of downtime, no urgency, no accountability

We have been hosting our online learning platform, for many year, with Liquid Web for some time at $243 per month. On 29 April 2026, a critical authentication vulnerability in cPanel and WHM took our platform down. Two days later, we are still not fully resolved. What has been most damaging is not the vulnerability itself - these things happen - it is the response. Cases were placed in a queue. We were told a high volume of security requests were being reviewed in order of receipt. For a business-critical platform serving a global community across 50+ countries, that is simply not acceptable at this price point. Their own support chat confirmed indicators of compromise on our server. That is a serious finding. The urgency with which it was treated did not match that seriousness at all. Two days of downtime means lost revenue, damaged member trust, and reputational harm that is very difficult to quantify. At $243 per month, the expectation is enterprise-grade response times and proactive communication. We received neither. We are now in the process of migrating away. I would strongly caution any business running a revenue-generating platform to think carefully before choosing Liquid Web as their hosting provider.

Hi Dr. Ahmed, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your recent experience. The delay and frustration you described are not the level of service we aim to provide, especially when it comes to supporting business-critical applications. We take feedback like this very seriously, and we would genuinely like the opportunity to review what happened and make it right. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to gather additional details so far. At your convenience, could you please reach out to us directly and reference this review? If you can provide your account information or ticket number, we’ll escalate the matter internally and ensure it’s thoroughly investigated. We appreciate the chance to address this properly and work toward a resolution.

Avoid Nexcess by Liquid Web

Nexcess by Liquid Web offers managed WordPress, which is not managed because when contacting managed support by phone you will experience: 1) More than 1 hour wait to speak with a representative and 2) An unqualified representative who does not have knowledge of the platform or WordPress, or 3) Phone disconnection resulting in the dial tone.

Reply from Liquid Web Inc.2026-04-17

Hello, We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. Long wait times, call disconnections, and not getting the level of support you expected is understandably frustrating, especially when you’re reaching out for help. We’re actively working to improve both the responsiveness and depth of our support through additional coaching and training across our teams. Your experience is not the standard we aim to provide, and we take it seriously. If you run into issues in the future, we recommend reaching out via live chat or support tickets, which often provide faster and more consistent assistance. That said, phone support remains available, and we’re continuing to improve that experience as well. We’d appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to our team so we can assist further. Sincerely, The Liquid Web Team

Long Term - Excellent Support!

Always a great experience working with technical support - no matter what the task is! I've partnered with LiquidWeb since 2007 and have never regretted my decision. They have offered excellent support throughout that time period and I hope to work with them for years to come! Thanks LiquidWeb/Nexcess!

Bad Support

Once great, their support is now awful. The support team has no understanding of issues, and has no willingness to help. They are offshore clock-punchers.

Reply from Liquid Web Inc.2026-04-17

Hi Brandon, We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing your feedback. This isn’t the level of support we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating it can feel when you’re not getting the help you need. We previously reached out to gather more details but haven’t heard back yet. If you’re open to it, we’d really appreciate any additional information you can share so we can look into your account and better understand what happened. Our support team is globally distributed, both within and outside the U.S., but every team member is trained and vetted to meet the same technical standards. That said, we recognize we don’t always get it right, and we’re continuously working to improve both the quality and consistency of our support. If you’re willing, please connect with us so we can take a closer look and work toward making this right. Sincerely, The Liquid Web Team

IPv6 broken since migration. Finally fixed by Aidan.

We had been experiencing issues with IPv6 since we migrated to this new server. We opened a ticket 44398538 on 03/13/2026 and although some progress was made, it was still not working. On 03/31/2026 I specifically asked about IPv6 pings failing. I was told on 04/01/2026 "The failure you are seeing on the DNS checker website is likely due to upstream network routing or the testing tool itself, but it will not affect your actual website traffic or IPv6 compatibility." This information was completely incorrect. Not satisfied, we did our own investigating and opened ticket 46408753 with information showing that IPv6 was not configured properly on our server. We received a prompt response with a proposed solution which we approved.....and then the ticket sat for two days without it being done. On Sunday afternoon, I had enough of waiting and called in. I spoke to Aiden. He understood my frustration and looked into the issue. He tried the proposed solution and it did not work. He then dug deeper and found the root issue. Our IPv6 was using a private IP, not a public one. This has been like this since our server migration. He fixed the IPv6 and updated our DNS to use it. By the end of the call, IPv6 was working. Aidan: 5 stars Liquid Web: 0 stars - this has been happening more and more over the last few months and we expect better for the $800/month we're paying. We are considering moving away from LW.

Reply from Liquid Web Inc.2026-04-17

Hi Alex, Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We are really sorry for the frustration you experienced, especially given the number of touchpoints and the time it took to fully resolve the IPv6 issue. You’re absolutely right to expect better, particularly after your recent migration. In this case, the root cause, a private IPv6 address being assigned during migration, should have been identified and corrected much earlier. We also missed opportunities along the way, including providing you with inaccurate guidance around the IPv6 testing results and delays in executing a confirmed fix. That’s not the level of service we aim to deliver. We want to thank you for calling out Aidan’s work. We’re glad he was able to step in, dig deeper, and resolve the issue properly by assigning a public IPv6 address and updating DNS. That said, it shouldn’t have required that level of escalation to get there. We’re reviewing this situation internally, both the migration process and the handling across multiple tickets, to ensure better continuity, faster root cause identification, and clearer communication moving forward. Your experience highlights gaps we need to address, and we’re taking that seriously. We truly value your business and the trust you place in us. We understand you’re considering other options, and while we can’t undo the experience you had, we would appreciate the opportunity to rebuild your confidence. A member of our team will be reaching out directly to follow up. Thank you again for your candid feedback. Sincerely, The Liquid Web Team

Reliable hosting and genuinely helpful support

We’ve had a very positive experience with Liquid Web. Their hosting has been reliable, and their support team has consistently been responsive, knowledgeable, and able to help with real technical issues without wasting time. That matters a lot when you are managing a business website and need things handled properly. What we’ve appreciated most is the level of competence on the support side. When server or infrastructure questions come up, it feels like you are dealing with people who actually understand the problem and can help move things forward. Overall, Liquid Web has been a dependable partner for our business, and we’ve been very satisfied with the service.

Hi Davide, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We know how critical it is to have both reliable hosting and a support team that can step in quickly with real solutions, especially when you’re managing a business website. It’s great to hear that our team has been able to provide that level of expertise and efficiency when it matters most. Your comments about our support team’s technical competence mean a lot to us. We work hard to ensure our customers are always connected with experienced professionals who can move issues forward without unnecessary delays. We’re grateful to be a trusted partner in your business and look forward to continuing to support your success. Sincerely, The Liquid Web Team

Hit and Miss Support

Over the past few years or so, support staff have been extremely hit and miss. Occasionally I've had some great ones that I feel genuinely want to help solve a problem. However, more often I get an agent that either doesn't have the technical knowledge to provide sometimes even the most basic support request or someone that just wants to get the ticket closed. I recently had a server migration and I'm extremely disappointed with the job done. Whatever SOP you have implemented for the migration team needs to be improved. There were so many issues. I'm still discovering issues. For instance, I found out this morning that the firewall was set up to block SMTP emails to some ports. This caused a MASSIVE backlog of emails, some of them two weeks old and time sensitive. It took 4 agents on the same ticket before I got a decent agent that actually put in some effort and discovered the cause. That's just one of many issues that came up with the migration. It's been a frustrating experience that when someone asks for a hosting recommendation, I'm not always confident to mention Liquid Web... and that means I don't get a commission if I recommend a different hosting service. Frankly, I'm not even sure if there's a point in writing this review because I'm not confident anything will be done. But at least I got this off my chest...

Reply from Liquid Web Inc.2026-04-10

Hi Clinton, Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We’re really sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced. You’re absolutely right to expect consistent, knowledgeable support and a smooth migration process, and in this case, we didn’t meet that standard. We’ve completed a full internal review of your recent migration and support interactions, and we want to acknowledge the issues you raised. During the migration, several critical configurations were missed, including mail-related settings like rDNS, DKIM alignment, and SSL, as well as a firewall rule that unintentionally blocked outbound SMTP traffic. This resulted in a backlog of undelivered emails, which we understand had a significant impact on your business. That’s on us. Since then, we’ve corrected these issues: mail authentication and SSL are properly configured, the server hostname and rDNS have been updated, and the SMTP blocking rule has been resolved so mail flow is functioning normally again. That said, resolving the technical issues doesn’t undo the experience you had. We also recognize your concern about inconsistent support quality. That’s something we take seriously, and your feedback is being used directly with our teams to improve both our migration processes and the consistency of our support. We understand your hesitation in recommending us right now, and we’d really like the opportunity to rebuild that confidence. A member of our team will be reaching out directly to continue the conversation and make sure everything is fully stable moving forward. We appreciate your honesty, as it helps us get better. Again, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Sincerely, The Liquid Web Team

Everyday is a new issue with liquid web - it's what happens when you save money and get people in developing countries to do the work of someone in America. Constant issues - where you can't even chat with someone, doesn't welcome you, just loads up and when you type something in there - nothing works you then have to send an email which can take hours to do. Well done Liquid web - for ruining absolutely everything you can ruin. I hope your greedy corporate executive team looses all their money Thank you for contacting Liquid Web! Connecting you now… That's the error and it sits on there. They must be trying to save even more money

Reply from Liquid Web Inc.2026-03-26

Hi Robert, We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration it caused. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide. We took a close look at your recent interaction and it appears the delay in connecting to a chat agent led to the session being closed before we could get you routed to someone. While our team typically responds very quickly, there are times when higher demand can cause delays, and we understand how frustrating that can be, especially when you need immediate help. We’re glad you were later able to connect with a member of our team and have your concerns addressed, but we know that doesn’t undo the earlier experience. We’ve followed up via your support ticket and also attempted to reach you by phone to continue the conversation and make sure everything is fully resolved. Your feedback is important to us, and we’d really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly. Please feel free to reply to your ticket or let us know a convenient time to connect. Sincerely, The Liquid Web Team
