    I’ve had a great experience with Liquid Web. Their dedicated server plans don’t come with hidden fees or confusing upgrade paths. Every email lands on time and I’ve found their customer service helpful from the start, clear, quick and consistent. It’s refreshing to feel like a valued client.

FAQs

  • Nexcess

    How much does Nexcess cost?

    Nexcess hosting plans start at $17.60/month for Managed WordPress and WooCommerce, and $37.74/month for Magento, with promotional discounts and no renewal price hikes.

    Who owns Nexcess?

  • Liquid Web

    Why does Liquid Web use Nexcess for WordPress and WooCommerce hosting?

    Nexcess is Liquid Web’s specialized platform built specifically for WordPress, WooCommerce and Magento. You purchase through Liquid Web, but the actual hosting dashboard is Nexcess. It’s a structural decision: Liquid Web manages infrastructure and support, while Nexcess handles the application-level tools, staging, backups and ecommerce optimizations.

    Do Liquid Web plans really come with unlimited traffic?

    Yes. Managed WordPress and WooCommerce plans include no visit caps, no bandwidth throttling and no overage fees. This is valuable for sites that get seasonal spikes, viral traffic or heavy ad campaigns. Your plan isn’t punished for growth.

    How does Liquid Web handle website security?

    Security is built into the platform: automatic updates, daily malware scans, free SSL, Cloudflare Enterprise, DDoS protection and isolated staging updates. Higher-tier plans bring deeper protections, but even base plans offer more built-in security than many competing hosts.
