Its performance, which eclipsed all other sites we tested on most benchmarks. It dominated the competition on all three database tests, including the very time consuming SUM and JOIN test, which has been known to take some competitors more than 20 minutes. Liquid Web’s was done in 8:42.(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)Liquid Web also aced the WordPress Benchmark, scoring 8.4 where most competitors are in the 7s. It did particularly well on the CPU operations portion of the test, scoring 9.21 out of a possible 10.(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)Liquid Web was also pretty quick to load our sample site, taking just 1.6 seconds(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)With 10TB per month of bandwidth, high-speed loading and high-speed data processing, Liquid Web’s VPS hosting plans are great for those expecting a lot of traffic.Read More: Liquid Web Review(Image credit: Shutterstock, Namecheap)Best Cheap Shared Web HostingSpecificationsPrice: $1.98 and upCPU: N/ARAM: N/AStorage: Up to 50GB of storageReasons to buy+Strong database performance+Good traffic handling+Incredibly low priceReasons to avoid-SSL only free for first yearFor 25 years, Arizona’s Namecheap has offered inexpensive domain registration services, which is where its name comes from.
