Both are real savings, but only if you know what is included, so ask a few specific questions before you sign. - [WordPress Hosting for Agencies: 7 Proven Criteria](https://liberationtek.com/web-development/wordpress-hosting-for-agencies/): The best WordPress hosting for agencies gives each client an isolated account, a safe place to stage changes, white label branding, automated billing and support that answers fast, all at a per-site cost that leaves you a margin.

A host that fails on isolation or support will cost you more in lost clients than it saves on the invoice. - [WooCommerce Subscription Hosting: 10 Essential Settings](https://liberationtek.com/web-development/woocommerce-subscription-hosting/): WooCommerce subscription hosting has to handle a spike that ordinary stores never see: hundreds or thousands of renewals firing at the same minute, each needing a background job, a gateway call and an order.

Start with the error log, because it names the cause far faster than guessing does. - [How to Set Up WooCommerce Hosting: 9 Essential Steps](https://liberationtek.com/web-development/set-up-woocommerce-hosting/): How to set up WooCommerce hosting: choose a plan that meets the WooCommerce server requirements, point your domain, turn on SSL, install WordPress and then WooCommerce, set caching rules that skip the cart and checkout, test payments in test mode on a staging copy, and run a go-live checklist.

The deciding factor is who you want to do the server work: a reseller plan comes with account tools already built, while a VPS hands you a blank server and the responsibility that goes with it. - [Secure WordPress Hosting: 9 Essential Protections Against Hacks](https://liberationtek.com/web-development/secure-wordpress-hosting/): Secure WordPress hosting protects your site at the server level, before an attack ever reaches your plugins or theme.

Measure first, then work through hosting limits, caching, database clutter, plugins and background jobs in that order. - [How Much Does WooCommerce Cost? 7 Real Costs for 2026](https://liberationtek.com/web-development/how-much-does-woocommerce-cost/): How much does WooCommerce cost?

Some WordPress hosting is basic server space, and some, called managed WordPress hosting, also handles updates, backups, caching and security for you. - [Cheapest WordPress Hosting: 7 Costly Traps Behind Low Prices](https://liberationtek.com/web-development/cheapest-wordpress-hosting/): The cheapest WordPress hosting is usually a shared plan from a large host, or a free plan from WordPress.com, and either can cost you less than $5 per month on paper.

If the site runs WordPress, note your plugins and theme versions so the new copy can be checked against the old one. Keep the OVHcloud account active until the new site and email have been running cleanly for a few days, and lower your DNS TTL ahead of the cutover. - [Move From DreamHost To Liberation: Export Steps And Migration Help](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-dreamhost/): To move from DreamHost, gather your site files, a database export, your DNS records and a list of every email address and alias before you start. If the site runs WordPress, note your plugins and theme versions so the new copy can be checked against the old one. Keep the DreamHost account active until the new site and email have been running cleanly for a few days, and lower your DNS TTL ahead of the cutover. - [Auto Repair Shop Website Hosting, Email And Local SEO](https://liberationtek.com/industries/auto-repair-shop-website-hosting/): When a warning light comes on, the search that follows is urgent and local, and it ends at whichever shop looks open, close and credible. Auto repair shop website hosting is really about being that shop. - [Salon, Barbershop And Spa Website Hosting With Email And SEO](https://liberationtek.com/industries/personal-care-website-hosting/): The first thing anybody wants from a salon website is the price list, and the second is a button that books. Salon website hosting that buries either one sends the client to the shop down the road. - [Cleaning And Landscaping Website Hosting, Email And Local SEO](https://liberationtek.com/industries/cleaning-landscaping-website-hosting/): A cleaning or landscaping company rarely needs a bigger website. It needs to appear when somebody two towns over searches, and to actually receive the enquiry when it arrives — which is what landscaping website hosting should be judged on. - [Restaurant Website Hosting, Email And Local SEO](https://liberationtek.com/industries/restaurant-website-hosting/): Most restaurant websites fail at the only moment that matters: somebody standing on the pavement with a phone, deciding where to eat in the next ten minutes. Everything restaurant website hosting has to do follows from that. - [Website Hosting And Email For Independent Insurance Agencies](https://liberationtek.com/industries/insurance-agency-website-hosting/): An independent agency is a financial institution in the regulator’s eyes, which means the website and the mailboxes sit inside the same security program as the client files. So the real question about insurance agency website hosting is a narrow one: can your provider tell you in writing how it is configured, when a carrier asks? - [Website Malware Protection for Small Business Sites](https://liberationtek.com/website-malware-protection/): Website malware protection is a set of layers that find, remove and block malicious code on your site. It combines scheduled scanning, malware removal, a web application firewall, patching and monitoring. No single tool covers everything, so the best setup pairs automatic defenses with tested backups and a person who can step in when something slips through. - [Automated Website Backup That Actually Restores](https://liberationtek.com/automated-website-backup/): An automated website backup copies your site files, database and email on a schedule, without anyone remembering to click a button. A good setup runs daily, stores encrypted copies offsite, keeps several versions, and lets you restore one file or the whole site quickly. The part most people skip is testing the restore. - [Real Estate Website Hosting Built for Brokerage Owners](https://liberationtek.com/real-estate-website-hosting/): Good real estate website hosting for a brokerage means the company, not an individual agent, owns the domain, the site, and every mailbox. Put agents on addresses at your domain, publish authentication records so outsiders cannot spoof you, keep daily off-site backups, and write down a short offboarding checklist. Liberation Email starts at $1.95 per user per month, and WordPress hosting starts at $29 per month on an annual plan. - [Church Web Hosting Your Ministry Controls](https://liberationtek.com/church-web-hosting/): Good church web hosting puts four things under your church's control: the website on your own domain, email addresses that match it, an online giving page you own, and backups that someone has tested. Hosting alone is the cheap part. The real value is who can log in, who can leave, and who holds your donor list. This page walks through each piece, in plain terms, for pastors and church administrators. - [Business Email Hosting for Small Teams That Own Their Data](https://liberationtek.com/business-email-hosting/): Business email hosting is a service that runs mailboxes on your own domain, so your team uses addresses like you@yourcompany.com instead of a free Gmail account. A good host stores your mail, filters spam, protects logins and keeps your messages deliverable. Liberation Email offers this from $1.95 per user per month, on servers in the United States, with migration from your current provider included. - [Web Hosting for Small Business](https://liberationtek.com/small-business-web-hosting/): Web hosting for small business costs about $7.99 to $13.99 a month on a shared plan, and $59 to $239 a month on a managed cloud VPS. The jump buys reserved resources, a 99.9% or 99.99% uptime SLA, daily automated backups and someone else maintaining the server. We publish the renewal price beside the introductory price on every plan — the number most hosts leave you to discover in year two. Those are the things worth comparing when you price web hosting for small business — not the headline rate on its own. - [Jira Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/jira-alternative/): If you want a Jira alternative that a non-technical team can pick up without training, the Hub Project Manager inside Hub for Teams is worth a look. It tracks tasks, owners and due dates, and it sits next to team chat, files and email. Plans start at $7.49 per user per month, with a 30-day free trial. - [Drip Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/drip-alternative/): A Drip alternative should cost less to run, keep your subscriber data in the United States, and still send the automated emails your shop depends on. Liberation Campaign, hosted by Liberation Technology Services, bills by emails sent instead of contacts stored. Here is an honest look at both options. - [Monday.com Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/monday-alternative/): If you are looking for a monday alternative (Monday.com), you probably want project management software that is simple to set up, priced per person fairly, and does not need a consultant to configure. Hub for Teams is a Monday.com alternative from Liberation Technology Services, with a Project Manager, team chat and custom workflows from $9.75 per user per month and a 30-day free trial. - [Asana Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/asana-alternative/): If you are looking for an Asana alternative, you probably want project management software your team will actually open every day, without paying for features you do not use. Hub for Teams is an Asana alternative from Liberation Technology Services, with a Project Manager, team chat and custom workflows from $9.75 per user per month and a 30-day free trial. - [Weebly Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/weebly-alternative/): If you are looking for a Weebly alternative, you probably want a simple drag-and-drop website builder with hosting included and a company that will still be supporting it in five years. Liberation Site Builder is a Weebly alternative from Liberation Technology Services, with 200+ templates, e-commerce, and hosting, SSL and a free domain included in annual plans. - [Webflow Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/webflow-alternative/): If you are looking for a Webflow alternative, you probably want a website you can build visually without managing separate hosting and a steep learning curve. Liberation Site Builder is a Webflow alternative from Liberation Technology Services, with 200+ templates, a drag-and-drop editor, and hosting, SSL and a free domain included in annual plans. - [OVH Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/ovh-alternative/): If you are looking for an OVH alternative, you probably want a VPS or dedicated server that is managed for you, on infrastructure you can trust, with a US-based team to call. Liberation VPS hosting is an OVH alternative from Liberation Technology Services, fully managed with cPanel and WHM, free migration and 24/7 support included. - [DreamHost Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/dreamhost-alternative/): If you are looking for a DreamHost alternative, you probably want reliable web hosting with a control panel you already know and a company you can call. Liberation shared web hosting is a DreamHost alternative from Liberation Technology Services, with cPanel, NVMe storage and SSL included from $7.99 a month, on servers we own in the United States. - [Namecheap Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/namecheap-alternative/): If you are looking for a Namecheap alternative, you probably want a domain registrar with clear renewal pricing and a company you can reach when something goes wrong. Liberation domain registration is a Namecheap alternative from Liberation Technology Services, a US-based company, with .com from $20.99 a year and the same price to register, transfer or renew. - [Google Analytics Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/google-analytics-alternative/): If you are looking for a Google Analytics alternative, you probably want to know who visits your website without handing that data to an advertising company. Liberation Analytics is a privacy-focused Google Analytics alternative from Liberation Technology Services. It runs on our own US infrastructure, and your data is not scanned, sold or shared with a third party. - [Homepage B (Option H draft)](https://liberationtek.com/ab-b-home/): US owned and operated, on servers we own in the United States. Clear prices, a migration team that moves your site and email, and a real US team behind them. - [Remote Access Service](https://liberationtek.com/remote-access-software/): When people search for remote access software, they usually have a practical problem. Staff need remote access to files and systems from home or on the road, or someone needs to help fix a computer without driving across town. LiberationTek offers remote access and remote support as a done-for-you professional service: we plan it, build it and manage it, so you are not left assembling tools on your own. - [Help Desk Support Service](https://liberationtek.com/help-desk-software/) - [Local SEO Services](https://liberationtek.com/local-seo-services/): SEO services near me usually means optimizing your Google Business Profile, your local pages and your reviews so you appear in the map pack when people search nearby. - [SMTP Relay](https://liberationtek.com/smtp-relay/): An SMTP relay is the server that takes your outgoing email and delivers it to the recipient's mailbox provider. If you send from your own domain, the relay you use decides your sending reputation, whether your authentication is set up properly, and what happens to bounces and spam complaints. At LiberationTek, our SMTP relay service runs through Liberation Campaign, our independent sending platform on infrastructure we own and operate in the United States. - [MailerLite Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/mailerlite-alternative/): If you are looking for a MailerLite alternative, the main question is usually who controls the platform and how you are billed. Liberation Campaign is an independent email marketing platform and CRM, run on infrastructure Liberation owns in the United States, and priced by emails sent per month rather than by contacts stored. - [Semrush Alternative](https://liberationtek.com/compare/semrush-alternative/): If you are looking for a Semrush alternative, you probably want to improve your website's search traffic without learning a professional marketing platform. The LiberationTek SEO tool, powered by marketgoo, is a Semrush alternative aimed at small businesses, with plans from $9.99 per month. - [Email Deliverability](https://liberationtek.com/email-deliverability/): Email deliverability is the share of your messages that actually reach the inbox, as opposed to the spam folder or nowhere at all. It is mostly configuration, list quality and sending reputation, and most of it is under your control. This page explains how email deliverability works, what usually goes wrong, and which tools in Liberation Campaign, our email marketing platform, give you control over it. - [Payment Gateway](https://liberationtek.com/payment-gateway/): A payment gateway is the software that securely passes a customer's payment details from your website or register to the network that approves the charge. LiberationTek offers a modern payment gateway through our U.S. partner PayHarmony, with a documented API, hosted checkout, tokenized card storage, recurring billing and ACH. It sits on top of one merchant account, so you do not need separate arrangements for each way you sell. - [Merchant Account](https://liberationtek.com/merchant-account/): Merchant services is the umbrella term for the whole stack: the account, the gateway, the terminals and the support behind them. When someone says they are shopping for merchant services, they usually mean all of it together. - [Ecommerce Website Builder](https://liberationtek.com/ecommerce-website-builder/): Many hosted ecommerce platforms charge extra transaction fees on top of payment processing, and leaving them often means rebuilding from scratch. With our ecommerce website builder, your site files are yours and you can download them over FTP at any time. We do not track your visitors, sell your data or share it with third parties. To measure traffic without Google, see Liberation Analytics. - [Landing Page Builder](https://liberationtek.com/landing-page-builder/) - [Website Templates](https://liberationtek.com/website-templates/): The second question is what happens on the second edit — six months in, when you want a page the template never anticipated. Some WordPress themes let you move anything. Others look editable until you try to change the part you actually want to change, and then it is a developer or nothing. Ask specifically whether you can add a section, reorder it and delete it yourself. - [WordPress Development](https://liberationtek.com/wordpress-development/): WordPress development at LiberationTek covers three things: building your site, hosting it, and keeping it healthy after launch. WordPress runs a large share of small business sites because it is flexible and easy to edit, but it needs care. Plugins go stale, updates break things and a neglected site becomes a target. We build the site, run it on our own U.S. infrastructure and offer plans to look after it. - [Custom Web Design](https://liberationtek.com/web-design/): Small business web design comes down to who does the building. Liberation Site Builder is drag and drop from $10.99 a month, with hosting, SSL and a free domain on annual plans. Launch is $697 one-time: we build up to five pages for you and it goes live in ten business days, then runs from $22.93 a month. Custom design is quoted on the work and built by our development team when the site needs integrations, e-commerce, memberships or anything out of the ordinary. All three run on hardware we own in the United States, and the domain is registered in your name on every one. - [SEO For Small Business](https://liberationtek.com/seo-services/): Our SEO services are built in two parts: a do-it-yourself SEO tool that costs from $9.99 a month, and optional consulting from our marketing team when you want a person involved. We are a small U.S. company, not a large SEO agency, and that shapes how we work. You get plain advice, a short list of what to fix, and no long contract for reports you will not read. - [Cyber Security Services](https://liberationtek.com/cyber-security-services/): Cyber security services should protect the things small businesses actually lose: the website, the email account, the files and the logins that open them. Most breaches are not clever. A password gets reused, a plugin is never updated, or someone clicks a convincing phishing email. Our cyber security services cover those everyday gaps, in plain language, with a person you can call. - [Secure File Sharing](https://liberationtek.com/secure-file-sharing/): Secure file sharing should not mean emailing attachments and hoping for the best. Hub for Teams gives your team shared file storage with AES-256 encryption, two-step authorization and hosting on a US-based network, starting at $7.49 per user per month. This page explains what each plan includes, how to judge secure file sharing from any provider, and the habits that keep shared files safe in a small business. - [Secure Video Meetings](https://liberationtek.com/video-conferencing/): Video conferencing works best when it is part of the tools your team already uses, not one more subscription and login. Hub for Teams Talk puts video conferencing, screen sharing and group chat in the same workspace as your mailbox, calendar and files for $14.95 per user per month, run by a US-based company on its own network. This page explains what is included, how to judge video conferencing services for a small team, and how to roll it out without friction. Most video conferencing services are sold as a separate subscription with its own account list; this one is not. - [Project Management Software](https://liberationtek.com/project-management-software/): Good project management software answers three questions without a meeting: who owns this, when is it due, and where did we talk about it? Hub for Teams includes a Project Manager in the Teams+ plan, alongside team chat and custom workflows, for $9.75 per user per month. This page explains what that covers, how to judge any project management software for a small team, and how to roll one out so it actually gets used. - [Move From InMotion Hosting To Liberation: cPanel Migration Without The Renewal Jump](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-inmotion/): If you want to move from InMotion, the process is simpler than most people expect. A cPanel migration keeps the control panel you already know, so your team does not have to learn a new dashboard. We copy your files, databases and mailboxes to a new Liberation account, test everything on the new server, and only then change DNS. - [Move From Liquid Web To Liberation: Server Migration Without The Renewal Shock](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-liquid-web/): If you plan to move from Liquid Web, the job is a server migration, not just a website copy. Your new Liberation dedicated server needs the same sites, databases, users, cron jobs, SSL certificates and mail as the old one. We move each piece in a planned order, test the result, and only then switch DNS. - [Move From Brevo To Liberation Campaign](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-brevo/): Move from brevo is the topic of this page, explained in plain terms before you choose a provider. - [Move From Constant Contact To Liberation Campaign](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-constant-contact/): Move from constant contact is the topic of this page, explained in plain terms before you choose a provider. - [Move From Mailchimp To Liberation Campaign](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-mailchimp/): If you plan to move from Mailchimp, start by exporting your subscriber lists and confirming that each contact has a record of how and when they opted in. That record matters for deliverability and for compliance with rules such as the FTC CAN-SPAM guidance. This is general information and not legal advice. - [Move From Fastmail To Liberation Email](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-fastmail/): Before you move from Fastmail, list every address, alias and shared mailbox you use, and note any rules or forwarding set up on the account. Export your contacts and calendar as well as the mail itself, so nothing is left behind when you close the old account. Keep the old account active until the new one has received mail for a few days. - [Move From Proton Mail To Liberation Email](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-proton-mail/): Before you move from Proton Mail, export your mail and contacts, and check which of your messages are end-to-end encrypted, since those may need extra steps to migrate. List every address and alias you use so that none of them stop receiving mail during the switch. Keep the old account open until the new one has been receiving mail reliably for a few days. - [Move From Dropbox To Hub for Teams](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-dropbox/): When you move from Dropbox, the main thing to plan is your folder structure and who can see what. Take a snapshot of your shared folders and their permissions before you start, so you can recreate access for the right people on day one. Large files and old version history take the longest to transfer, so schedule those early and keep the old account active until everyone has confirmed they can open their files. - [Move From Zoho Workplace To Liberation](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-zoho/): To move from Zoho Workplace cleanly, inventory what your team actually uses: mail, calendars, documents, chat and any connected apps. Decide which of those move on day one and which can follow later, and tell people the date in advance. Export mail, contacts and files from the old account, and keep it active until everyone has confirmed they can work in the new one. - [Move From Asana / monday.com To Hub for Teams](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-asana-monday/): When you move from Asana or monday.com, decide before you start which projects are still active and which can be archived. Moving dead projects adds clutter, and a fresh start is often the best part of a migration. For the active ones, export tasks, due dates and assignees, and note any automations so you can rebuild the ones that still earn their keep. - [Move From SharePoint To Hub for Teams](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-sharepoint/): If you plan to move from SharePoint, start by mapping your sites and document libraries to who actually uses them. Old sites with no recent activity can be archived instead of migrated. For the ones you keep, record the folder structure, permissions and any version history you need, since those are the parts that are hardest to rebuild from memory later. - [Move From Trello To Hub for Teams](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-trello/): To move from Trello, look at how your boards are really used. Some work as simple to-do lists, others track a pipeline with labels, due dates and checklists. Write down the columns, labels and recurring cards on each active board, then rebuild that structure in the new tool rather than copying it card by card. Archive boards nobody has touched in months. - [Move From Slack To Hub for Teams](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-slack/): When you move from Slack, decide how much history needs to come with you. Active channels and pinned reference material usually do. Old social channels and one-off project rooms often do not. Export what you want to keep, list the integrations and bots your team relies on, and pick a cutover day so people are not posting in two places at once. - [Move From Vultr To Liberation: Fully Managed VPS Migration](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-vultr/): Move your self-managed Vultr instance to a fully managed VPS with cPanel/WHM, daily backups and U.S.-based support already included.

Free migration, U.S.-owned, no lock-in. - [Move From Rackspace To Liberation: Website & Email Migration](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-rackspace/): When you move from Rackspace to Liberation, the goal is a Rackspace migration you never have to think about twice: the same mail history, the same site if you have one, just running on infrastructure you own instead of Rackspace's per-mailbox pricing that runs higher than most alternatives. A move from Rackspace is handled by a person, not an automated plugin — every mailbox and page is copied over, tested against the live Rackspace setup, and verified before anything is switched. - [Move From Network Solutions To Liberation: Website & Email Migration](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-network-solutions/): When you move from Network Solutions to Liberation, the goal is a Network Solutions migration you never have to think about twice: the same pages, the same design, the same functionality, just running on infrastructure you own instead of Network Solutions' renewal pricing that isn't published anywhere upfront.

A move from IONOS is handled by a person, not an automated plugin — every page is copied over, tested against the live IONOS site, and verified before your domain is switched. - [Move From Kinsta To Liberation: Website & Email Migration](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-kinsta/): When you move from Kinsta to Liberation, the goal is a Kinsta migration you never have to think about twice: the same pages, the same design, the same functionality, just running on infrastructure you own instead of Kinsta's per-visit pricing tiers and overage fees. A move from Kinsta is handled by a person, not an automated plugin — every page is copied over, tested against the live Kinsta site, and verified before your domain is switched. - [Move From Cloudways To Liberation: Website & Email Migration](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-cloudways/): When you move from Cloudways to Liberation, the goal is a Cloudways migration you never have to think about twice: the same pages, the same design, the same functionality, just running on infrastructure you own instead of Cloudways' hourly server billing and markup fees.

A move from Namecheap is handled by a person, not an automated plugin — every page is copied over, tested against the live Namecheap site, and verified before your domain is switched. - [Move From SiteGround To Liberation: Website & Email Migration](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-siteground/): When you move from SiteGround to Liberation, the goal is a SiteGround migration you never have to think about twice: the same pages, the same design, the same functionality, just running on infrastructure you own instead of SiteGround's steep 12-month renewal price jump. A move from SiteGround is handled by a person, not an automated plugin — every page is copied over, tested against the live SiteGround site, and verified before your domain is switched. - [Wix Alternative: A Site Builder You Can Take With You](https://liberationtek.com/compare/wix-alternative/): Looking for a Wix alternative that does not lock your site to one platform? Wix is a polished builder, and we are not going to argue otherwise. What its pricing page does not emphasize is how steep the climb is: Light starts at $17.77/mo with 2 GB of storage, and reaching Business Elite's unlimited storage and advanced e-commerce means $159.77/mo — about 9 times the entry price. - [Squarespace Alternative: A Site Builder Without The Store Fee](https://liberationtek.com/compare/squarespace-alternative/): Looking for a Squarespace alternative? Squarespace is a capable builder, and we are not going to argue otherwise. What the $19-a-month Basic plan does not say up front is that it still takes a 2% cut of every online store sale, and a separate 7% fee on digital content and memberships. Getting the store fee to 0% means moving to the $29/mo Core plan; getting the digital-content fee to 0% means the $99/mo Advanced plan. - [Asana & Monday.com Alternative: One App, Not One More Subscription](https://liberationtek.com/compare/asana-monday-alternative/): Switching to this Asana Monday alternative does not mean losing your existing boards. Most teams import their tasks, projects and assignees in a matter of days, and nothing goes live until you have reviewed it against your current Asana or monday.com setup. - [Rackspace Alternative: Small-Business Pricing, No Sales Call](https://liberationtek.com/compare/rackspace-alternative/): As a Rackspace alternative built specifically for small business, we skip the custom-quote sales process entirely — every plan's price is published on this page, no call required. Moving to LiberationTek from Rackspace typically takes just a few business days: our team migrates your site, email, and DNS while your current setup stays live and untouched until the new one is tested and ready. - [Network Solutions Alternative: Prices Published Up Front](https://liberationtek.com/compare/network-solutions-alternative/): Looking for a Network Solutions alternative? Network Solutions is one of the oldest domain registrars and hosts on the internet, and one of the least transparent about what its plans actually cost. Its hosting page advertises plans "starting at just $2.99/month" but does not show the renewal price for Starter, Essential or Premium anywhere on the pricing page itself — you find out at checkout or on your first renewal invoice. That alone is worth knowing before you sign up. - [IONOS Alternative: The $1 Plan Renews At $14](https://liberationtek.com/compare/ionos-alternative/): As an IONOS alternative built for small business, we publish the same price you pay in year one and year two, right on this page — no waiting for a renewal invoice to find out what a plan actually costs.

Moving to this Kinsta alternative typically takes just a few business days: our team migrates your site, email, and DNS while your current Kinsta hosting stays live and untouched until the new one is tested and ready. - [Cloudways Alternative: Real cPanel, One Flat Price](https://liberationtek.com/compare/cloudways-alternative/): Cloudways starts at $11/mo but has no cPanel and no phone support.

Free migration. - [SiteGround Alternative: Real cPanel Hosting Without The 6x Renewal](https://liberationtek.com/compare/siteground-alternative/): SiteGround's $2.99/mo StartUp plan renews at $17.99/mo. Liberation WordPress hosting is $29/mo flat, every month, no renewal jump. Free migration. - [Move From Shopify To Liberation: Website Migration](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-shopify/): When you move from Shopify to Liberation, the goal is a Shopify migration you never have to think about twice: the same pages, the same design, the same functionality, just running on infrastructure you own instead of Shopify's per-order fees and app subscriptions. A move from Shopify is different from a plugin-based import — there is no export tool, so our team rebuilds every page and product listing by hand, tests every form, cart, and checkout flow against the live Shopify site, and only points your domain over once everything checks out. - [Move From Squarespace To Liberation: Website Migration](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-squarespace/): If you’re ready to move from Squarespace, our Squarespace migration team handles the entire rebuild for you — free, with no downtime and no lost content — so you can move from Squarespace without touching a single setting yourself. - [Move From HostGator To Liberation: Website & Email Migration](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-hostgator/): When you move from HostGator to Liberation, the goal is a HostGator migration you never have to think about twice: the same pages, the same design, the same functionality, just running on infrastructure that isn't tied to HostGator's renewal pricing or upsell-heavy checkout flow. A move from HostGator is different from a plugin-based import — we rebuild the hosting environment properly, test every form, plugin, and email account against the live HostGator site, and only point your domain over once everything checks out. - [Move From Bluehost To Liberation: Website & Email Migration](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-bluehost/): When you move from Bluehost to Liberation, the goal is a Bluehost migration you never have to think about twice: the same pages, the same design, the same functionality, just running on infrastructure that isn't tied to Bluehost's renewal pricing or upsell-heavy checkout flow. Business owners who move from Bluehost often ask how long the Bluehost migration takes and whether anything will break — in most cases a single-site Bluehost migration wraps up within a few business days, and because your original Bluehost site stays live and untouched throughout, there's no window where your business is offline. - [Move From Wix To Liberation: Website Migration](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-wix/): Free, done-for-you migration from Wix to a WordPress site on Liberation. A person rebuilds your site, tests it, and schedules the cutover. - [Move From Microsoft 365 To Liberation Email](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/move-from-microsoft-365/): Free, done-for-you migration from Microsoft 365 to Liberation Email.

Count the people who actually use email today, note the plan you pay for, and include any add-ons you would keep. Accurate inputs give you an estimate you can take to your team. - [HIPAA Email Vendor Checklist](https://liberationtek.com/hipaa-email-vendor-checklist/): This HIPAA email vendor checklist covers what actually matters: if your practice or organization sends or receives Protected Health Information (PHI) by email, your email vendor needs to be part of your HHS HIPAA Security Rule compliance picture — not an afterthought. This checklist is vendor-neutral. Use it to evaluate your current provider or any provider you're considering. - [ADA Title II Compliance Checklist](https://liberationtek.com/ada-title-ii-compliance-checklist/): This ADA Title II compliance checklist covers what applies to your website: Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to state and local government services — and as of the Department of Justice's 2024 rule, that explicitly includes websites and mobile apps, measured against the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard, with compliance deadlines phased by population size. If you run a website for a city, county, fire district, school, or other public entity, this isn't optional and it isn't just a "nice to have" accessibility gesture — it's a legal requirement with a real deadline attached. - [Email Retention Schedule](https://liberationtek.com/email-retention-schedule/): This email retention schedule primer covers what most public agencies get wrong: they don't get to decide how long an email lives — a records retention schedule does, and it's usually set by your state archives or records management division, not by IT. Most agencies default to "keep everything forever" because nobody wants to be the one who deleted the wrong thing. That's expensive, it's not compliant either, and it's avoidable once you know which category a message falls into. - [Website Migration Checklist](https://liberationtek.com/website-migration-checklist-tool/): This website migration checklist covers what actually goes wrong in a hosting move — not the website itself, but everything connected to it that people forget about until it breaks: email stops arriving, a DNS record gets dropped, an SSL certificate doesn't renew, a form stops sending leads to your inbox. - [360 Monitoring B (Option H draft)](https://liberationtek.com/ab-b-360-monitoring/): 360 Monitoring checks your websites and servers as often as every 60 seconds and alerts you the moment something breaks – uptime, performance, SSL, and server resources, all from one dashboard. No agent to babysit, no dashboards to decode. - [360 Monitoring](https://liberationtek.com/360-monitoring/): 360 Monitoring checks your websites and servers as often as every 60 seconds and alerts you the moment something breaks – uptime, performance, SSL, and server resources, all from one dashboard. No agent to babysit, no dashboards to decode. - [WordPress Care Plans](https://liberationtek.com/wordpress-care-plans/): Ongoing WordPress maintenance from $79 a month: updates applied with a restore point taken first, uptime monitoring, malware scanning and a monthly report. Or $125 an hour if you would rather pay as you go. - [Contractor IT And Websites: Get Found And Answer First](https://liberationtek.com/industries/contractor-website-hosting/): Contractor website hosting is the cheap part.

The honest order is the opposite. - [Resources: Guides On Hosting, Email, Security And Business Online](https://liberationtek.com/resources/): Gated resources work. Put a checklist behind a form and you collect addresses. The trade is that the person who needed the checklist at eleven at night, mid-outage, does not get it — and that is exactly the person whose problem we are best placed to solve. - [Backup And Disaster Recovery For Small Business Websites](https://liberationtek.com/backup-and-disaster-recovery/): Backups run on two levels here. CodeGuard is included on most plans and keeps encrypted daily copies of your files and databases off-site, with one-click restores you run yourself. Underneath that, the data center is backed up daily with seven days of retention. - [Migration Services: Website And Email Migration, Done For You](https://liberationtek.com/migration-services/): When you compare migration services options, ask for a written scope, a fixed price, and a clear timeline before any work starts. Good migration services providers explain each step in plain language and tell you what could go wrong before it does. A reliable migration services plan includes testing, a rollback option, and a named person you can call. - [InMotion Hosting Alternative: cPanel Hosting Without The Renewal Jump](https://liberationtek.com/compare/inmotion-hosting-alternative/): InMotion is a long-running American host and a reasonable one. Most people searching for an InMotion Hosting alternative are not leaving over the servers — they are leaving because the renewal invoice was two to three times the price that won the sale. - [Liquid Web Alternative: Managed U.S. Dedicated Cloud Hosting](https://liberationtek.com/compare/liquid-web-alternative/): Liquid Web is a capable host with real engineers behind it. Most people looking for a Liquid Web alternative are not unhappy with the servers — they are unhappy with what happened at renewal, or they want a smaller, independent American company holding the whole stack. - [Brevo Alternative: Liberation Campaign vs. Brevo](https://liberationtek.com/compare/brevo-alternative/): The differences that matter are where the company sits, whose law governs your account, how much of the delivery layer you can actually see, and whether you can reach a person by phone on the plan you are on. If you are weighing a Brevo alternative for an American business, those four are the decision. - [Fastmail Alternative: Liberation Email vs. Fastmail](https://liberationtek.com/compare/fastmail-alternative/): End-to-end encrypted, ad-free email hosted in the United States on servers we own, with your own domain, Outlook and Apple Mail on every plan, and a support team you can call on the phone. The American Fastmail alternative, from $1.95 per mailbox per month. - [WooCommerce Hosting B (Option H draft)](https://liberationtek.com/ab-b-woocommerce-hosting/): Managed WooCommerce hosting from $109 a month: PHP workers reserved for checkout, Redis object cache for carts and sessions, 30-day daily backups and a staging store, on hardware we own and operate in the United States. Migration is free, there is no setup fee, and we do not bill you per thousand visitors when a sale goes well. - [WooCommerce Hosting](https://liberationtek.com/woocommerce-hosting/): Managed WooCommerce hosting from $109 a month: PHP workers reserved for checkout, Redis object cache for carts and sessions, 30-day daily backups and a staging store, on hardware we own and operate in the United States. Migration is free, there is no setup fee, and we do not bill you per thousand visitors when a sale goes well. - [WordPress Hosting B (Option H draft)](https://liberationtek.com/ab-b-wordpress-hosting/): Managed WordPress hosting from $29 a month: staging, daily backups, a CDN, a firewall and automatic updates included on every plan, with free migration and no setup fee. Your site runs on hardware we own and operate in the United States, and cPanel comes with it — which the big managed WordPress hosts will not sell you at any price. - [WordPress Hosting](https://liberationtek.com/wordpress-hosting/): Managed WordPress hosting from $29 a month: staging, daily backups, a CDN, a firewall and automatic updates included on every plan, with free migration and no setup fee. Your site runs on hardware we own and operate in the United States, and cPanel comes with it — which the big managed WordPress hosts will not sell you at any price. - [Sovereign Cloud](https://liberationtek.com/sovereign-cloud/): A sovereign cloud is infrastructure where you know which country your data sits in, which company controls the hardware and whose law applies to it. Ours runs on servers LiberationTek owns and operates in the United States — not rented capacity resold from a hyperscaler — starting at $59 a month on annual billing for a managed VPS, with email from $1.95 per user a month on the same infrastructure. - [Domain Registration](https://liberationtek.com/domain-registration/): Domain registration with us is $20.99 a year for a .com, $21.99 for .org and $25.99 for .net, and the price to register, transfer in or renew is the same number — no teaser rate that triples in year two. The registration goes in your organisation’s name, with your contact details as registrant, so the domain is an asset you own rather than one your designer or agency holds for you. - [SSL Certificates](https://liberationtek.com/ssl-certificates/): An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between your visitor’s browser and your site, and it is what puts the padlock in the address bar. Domain validation starts at $18.66 a year, organization validation at $92.40 and extended validation at $167.07. If your site is hosted with us on cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin, we generate the renewal order, validate it and install it for you, so nobody has to remember a date. - [Trello Alternative: Hub for Teams vs. Trello](https://liberationtek.com/compare/trello-alternative/): A Trello alternative with the boards, tasks and workflows your team already uses, plus the business email, files, office apps and video Trello leaves to other subscriptions. One workspace, on U.S. servers we own — compare the plans below. - [SharePoint Alternative: Hub for Teams vs. SharePoint](https://liberationtek.com/compare/sharepoint-alternative/): A SharePoint alternative for teams that want shared document libraries without a Microsoft 365 tenant to administer — files, business email, an office suite, chat and projects in one workspace on U.S. servers we own. Compare the plans below. - [Dropbox Alternative: Hub for Teams vs. Dropbox](https://liberationtek.com/compare/dropbox-alternative/): A Dropbox alternative that adds the business email, office suite, chat, video and project tools Dropbox leaves to other subscriptions — in one workspace, on U.S. servers we own. Compare the plans below. - [ADA Title II Website Compliance](https://liberationtek.com/ada-title-ii-website-compliance/): The Department of Justice’s Title II web rule sets one technical standard for public entities: WCAG 2.1 Level AA for web content and mobile applications. ADA Title II website compliance means your site, your PDFs, your agendas and minutes, your video and your online forms all meet it, and that you can show your work if someone asks. We audit what you have, fix the template and the content, retrain whoever posts the agendas, and host the result. Quotes are written so they can go straight into a council or board packet. - [HIPAA Compliant Email](https://liberationtek.com/hipaa-compliant-email/): HIPAA compliant email is not a product you buy off a shelf. It is a mailbox whose provider will sign a Business Associate Agreement, encrypt the message in transit and at rest, control and log administrative access, and restore your mail when something goes wrong. Ours starts at $7.95 a mailbox a month on Mail Pro, with the agreement signed during onboarding rather than sold as an upgrade. Your EHR, practice management system and billing service stay exactly where they are. - [Marketing for Small Business](https://liberationtek.com/small-business-marketing/): Everything on this page is about small business marketing, from first principles to specific tools and providers. - [Protecting Your Business Online](https://liberationtek.com/protecting-your-business-online/): Everything on this page is about protecting your business online, from first principles to specific tools and providers. - [Building a Business Website](https://liberationtek.com/building-a-business-website/): Building a business website starts with a simple question: what should a visitor do next? A good business website answers that in seconds, whether the goal is a phone call, a booking or a purchase. The guides below walk through each decision in order, from choosing a website builder to working with a developer. - [Team Collaboration and Productivity](https://liberationtek.com/team-messaging-platform/): A team messaging platform is the place where day-to-day conversation lives, so it sets the shape of every other tool around it. Before comparing vendors, decide what the team messaging platform must replace: email threads, a separate video app, a shared drive, or all three. The fewer jobs left to other apps, the less the team has to remember about where a conversation happened. - [AI and Emerging Tech](https://liberationtek.com/ai-and-emerging-tech/): Everything on this page is about AI and emerging tech, from first principles to specific tools and providers. - [Cloud Computing for Business](https://liberationtek.com/cloud-computing-for-business/): Cloud computing for business comes down to a few practical choices. How much capacity do you need? Should it be public, private or hybrid? And how will you control cost and data as you grow? The guides below explain each choice in plain language so you can decide without a technical background. - [Ecommerce for Small Business](https://liberationtek.com/ecommerce-for-small-business/): Everything on this page is about ecommerce for small business, from first principles to specific tools and providers. - [Business Email](https://liberationtek.com/business-email/): Business email is the account with the most to lose and the longest rebuild time. A website can be recreated in a fortnight; eight years of correspondence and a contact list cannot. That makes two questions worth more than any feature comparison: who controls the mailbox, and does the mail arrive. - [How to Choose a Web Host](https://liberationtek.com/choosing-a-web-host/): Choosing a web host well starts with knowing what your site actually needs. - [Switching Providers](https://liberationtek.com/switching-providers/): Switching providers does not have to mean downtime or lost email. The safest way to handle switching providers is to treat it as a short project with a clear order of work: - [WordPress for Business](https://liberationtek.com/wordpress-for-business/): WordPress for business works best when someone owns the routine work. That means WordPress hosting that stays fast, regular WordPress maintenance such as updates and backups, and a plan for what happens if something breaks. This page collects our guides so you can find the right starting point for your site. - [Big Tech Alternatives for Small Business](https://liberationtek.com/big-tech-alternatives/): Everything on this page is about big tech alternatives, from first principles to specific tools and providers. - [2027 Campaign & PAC Web Hosting](https://liberationtek.com/industries/campaign-web-hosting/): Hosting, email and donation pages for the 2027 municipal cycle — councils, school boards, county races and three governor’s races. Built for spikes. - [Website Hosting for Trade & CDL Schools](https://liberationtek.com/industries/cdl-school-website/): Enrollment websites, staff and instructor email, and managed IT for CDL, trade and vocational schools.
