In short

How do I track Liquid Web server usage and costs every week?

WebRun checks every Liquid Web server each Monday, reading CPU, memory, and disk usage alongside the current billing amount. It exports the week's numbers as a new row in Google Sheets and emails you a summary flagging any server using noticeably more than usual, so a cost or resource spike gets noticed before the next invoice.

  • Every server gets a weekly usage and billing export
  • Cost spikes get flagged before the next invoice arrives
  • Usage trends become visible over time in one tracking sheet

Questions, answered

Will it resize or cancel a server on its own?

No. WebRun only reads usage and billing data. Resizing or canceling a server always stays a manual step in Liquid Web.

What counts as using noticeably more than usual?

A server's CPU, memory, or disk usage jumping clearly above its own recent pattern, called out so you notice it before the bill does.

Does it cover every server on the account?

Yes. It reviews every server under the account each week, not just your primary one.
