What do you like best about Nexcess?

Customer support is always available and ready to help. Even in the dead of night. They are always helpful and engaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexcess?

The cost is a little higher than most of the other platforms available for hosting a magento site. But the support more than makes up for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Nexcess:

Don't wait. Do it. You will be happy with the support team alone. They are available 24/7 and will make sure that you are always happy with the results. The cloud is the best solution for anyone with a Magento website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexcess solving and how is that benefiting you?

Moved the company site to the cloud server that they have available and have seen increased performance. Not hindered by bandwidth issues anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their backup system takes forever to backup and sometimes freezes. They once told me it could take days for the backup to work. If it weren't for the backup system, I would recommend this hosting platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nexcess?

Nexcess was once an outstanding hosting company. I became a customer in 2017 and moved many of our agency client sites and owned/operated properties over to the hosting provider. In 2019, Nexcess was acquired by Liquid Web. I am not sure if that is when the changes began, but in recent months it has become tremendously apparent to me that the customer support is completely outsourced and the level of care offered to customers is minimal at best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexcess?

The customer support for Nexcess is terrible. There are many, many better web hosts that provide better support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexcess solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nexcess once hosted over 20 of our web properties. They were unable to provide even basic support and continued to leave us with the answer of "work with a developer" even when the issues were directly hosting-related. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nexcess?

Working with Nexcess has been excellent. If ever there is a problem, support is readily available and very knowledgeable. I've not run into any situation yet that they have not been of great assistance. We have switched from Magento to WordPress with no issues. We've grown via WordPress and had to change plans, and the transition went perfectly smooth. I have nothing but good things to say about Nexcess and their support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexcess?

I haven't had any issues with Nexcess. They have been helpful at every stage and every change we've made. The only dislike I have at all is the UI/UX of SiteWorx; I feel it could use some work, it's a little rough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Nexcess:

If you want excellent service and equally excellent support, look no further - give Nexcess a try. They are reasonably priced and well worth the money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexcess solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nexcess is the host for our eCommerce website, which currently carries over 100 items. We started with Nexcess hosting our site, which was Magento at the time. We have since switched to WordPress and stayed with Nexcess. Even then, we stayed with the same hosting plan for a while, and it worked well. We grew and had to change plans, but it was a breeze. Nexcess handled the bulk of the transition, and we had no issues. We currently are a semi-small website, as far as traffic and bandwidth needs, but we can grow knowing Nexcess can also grow with our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nexcess?

Good dashboard and lots of free premium plugins that you could choose from and add to your Wordpress site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexcess?

We are an agency, and we have specific needs and always in need of premium support. We came in contact with Nexcess to move our sites on Nexcess because we needed to scale our agency and to relieve some work from our support department.

We had a call with the sales team stated our needs we were pleased with the things we heard so we choose to do the leap of faith.

We aggreed to migrate to Nexcess 10 Wordpress sites and 15 Woocommerce sites. The time needed for that operation was told us from Nexcess was max 1 month... in theory...

The migration took 3 months and we did our own most of the work... We had book slots and do again and again sync with live sites... It was a nightmare.

Besides that we had tremendous problem with the support. We needed professional help and not some canned responses from chat.

And lastly the day that we finally had it all we had all of our sites completely down for several hours because there was an issue from Nexcess site, some update caused a major blackout and we were offline almost one day.

That incident damaged our reputation as an agency. What should we tell to our clients that are reliying on us their online businesses?

The experience we had was something i would not recommend even to our enemies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexcess solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems solved were way less than the problems we needed to solve afterwards.

Most of the problems we faced was fixed from our support department and not from Nexcess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
