    You know that LiquidWeb is going downhill when their marketing guys like Ronald begin shilling for Litespeed servers, claiming that is "10x faster than Nginx" on their company blog... jesus, really? I remember when LW was like the most cutting edge web host around, like 15 years ago... they could have been a market leading cloud company or anything really, but instead just stayed in Michigan and never updated their approach and are just another cPanel shared hosting company these days. The benchmarks shared by Ronald are fake, they were published by Litespeed company and disabled caching in Nginx to make sure that Litespeed was the winner in the benchmark... pathetic Read More

    Matthew created one of the most trusted and transparent web hosting brands in history with Liquid Web... I was wondering what the hell was going on with their company lately with the horrible rebranding influenced by Chris Lema et al, and learned that he stepped down in 2015 after a hedge fund Madison Dearborn Partners bought out the company. Jesus, no wonder LW has gone to hell the past few years. Well if you gotta cash out, you gotta cash out I suppose. I hope Matthew gets involved in more web brands. Read More

    Chris seems like a personable guy, but instead of using his years of experience in the WordPress community to promote honesty and transparency, he is another typical "affiliate marketer" who seems to endorse and promote nearly any brand or product as long as they pay him or offer him an affiliate link program. You just can't believe anything these type of guys say, because their words are for sale. This insincere aggressive self-promotion is too common in the WordPress world; Chris seems to idolize grifters like Syed Balkhi. I was surprised that Liquid Web thought it was a good move to partner with Chris for these reasons. Their company is certainly in need of some rebranding, but Chris has turned their blog and social media into obnoxious "funnels" and hurt their long-standing reputation for being a straightforward and transparent web hosting company. Bad decisions all around IMO I mean seriously? ==> https://go.liquidweb.com/pathto1million/ ... how embarrassing. LW meets ClickBank. Read More

    I can't speak to Kira's web design services, but like many other affiliate marketers she illegally recommends and publishes affiliate links for services like JohnnyVPS, Siteground, and Liquid Web without the legally required FTC disclosure. Read More

    *The vast majority of people listed in this database are just “normal” business people, therefore no negative connotation is insinuated nor should misdeeds be assumed based on existing in our business directory. Our underlying goal is exposing misdeeds and fraud, but to accomplish this we often must first identity “honest” business people. This is because of things like similar names, impersonation, copyright infringement, and other reasons. Thus, the vast majority of people in our database are not being accused of anything shady. For this reason, profiles are now “noindexed” by default until comments exist on any given profile, since many of them are unnotable.
