I've chosen to host with Nexcess for nearly 8 years, after operating significant hosting companies of my own for 7 years before that. My company currently runs a managed dedicated server at Nexcess using InterWorx. This company has grown by leaps in that time. They've had growing pains, but comparing "how the sausage is made" between Nexcess and others, I'm very happy with our choice. Nexcess is one of few providers that genuinely optimize the server environment to your advantage. Their support isn't outsourced and has historically been stellar in spite of a rough patch a few years ago. I continue to recommend Nexcess to anybody that needs every last ounce of performance. Full disclosure: Nexcess currently engages with our digital agency for SEO and inbound marketing. This review was not motivated as a part of that engagement. read more

I've used virtual hosting since the beginning. I moved all my sites to Nexcess. For Wordpress it's one of the best. http://greaterdiversity.com scores an A. read more

Absolutely the worst systems, service and support. I have 50+ websites hosted from Wordpress to Magento. The service has cost me hundreds of man hours and has almost lost me several large customers. RUN, don't look back. Service tickets take hours and now I am starting to see days. Ghost in the machine. I have never in my 18 years of technology seen sites go down, code magically changing, DBs erasing. It Nuts. read more

I would not recommend Nexcess to anyone after having used them for many years. Their customer service is poor, and they make it impossible to cancel your services and continue billing you even after you request cancellation. read more

Customer service is the worst. The only thing that made it better was addressing it with them. We did, it improved. So why the 1 star? The irresponsible billing department. We were originally on an annual plan. (Clearly, they prey on those not tech savvy but that's a separate issue.) on the day of our billing cycle end, we changed to a more much lower cost and monthly plan. We verified multiple times the cost and the billing as monthly, in writing. Then we get an invoice that they billed us for another year on the old plan. We immediately contacted them. And then, they wrote they would not be giving us a refund. They would credit our account. When we informed them this was unacceptable, we received a flippant email from Regan. Then we called and spoke to Jackie. She's supposedly a manager. Well, it's no wonder that Regan feels it's appropriate to send out emails without doing any research into the matters involved. When your manager is unprofessional, you'll be unprofessional and ill equipped to do your job. And, according to Jackie, research on the matter of a ticketed history, is not part of Regan's job. So there it is: when leadership is a failure, offers excuses, and behaves unprofessionally while trying to argue with the client, what else but this can you expect from their subordinates? Watch your billing! Or, better still, don't use this company. read more

Nexcess Support has been terrific. They are helpful and professional over the phone. We are using Nexcess to host over 11 sites and we've been with them over 5 years. Great Company. read more

Our company recently launched a Magento 2.0 site using Nexcess SIP 300 Plan in November. Everything went smoothly. The past host we used was U.S. based but switched to offshore support which turned into a real issue. I have piece of mind that Nexcess is totally U.S. based, a Magento specialist, very professional, and reasonably priced. I also liked that one of their server centers and support team was where our company was located--in the Midwest. I've had several questions submitted through admin tickets and they are always fast and on point with getting me the right answers. Thanks Nexcess. Keep up the good work! read more

Horrible hosting service. Avoid like the plague. Support tickets would take upwards of 4 days for a response. Numerous times I waited on hold for over 50 minutes for a phone call to be answered. Support does not assist with anything and gets tripped up by basic requests and issues that our new host takes less than 5 seconds to know what the problem is. If you want to continue your web host search to last longer, I recommend you signup with Nexcess, then wait till you have the experience I had and then move again less than 90 days later. read more

Nexcess support has been getting worse and worse. But the last straw was when I get a message at midnight 'sorry we deleted your site, how would you like to proceed?' so then I'm up late on the phone with them losing sleep and then two hours later at 2am I get the message 'oops, we found the files'. Unbelievable. I have several websites hosted with Nexcess. And recently there are problems with their systems and almost every support request. At this point I'm having up to three Nexcess problems in one day. A few examples off the top of my head 1. Called them on the phone and asked them to restore a backup. They just didn't do it didn't make a support ticket, nothing. 2. Ftp times out for no reason on one website and they don't know why (still not fixed) 3. Passwords suddenly stop working for no apparent reason. 4 mod security rules block simple actions like uploading a theme in Wordpress (even after I've whitelisted my ip address). I could go on. Nexcess problems have cost me a lot of time and money. It's hard to get work done as a web designer when you're constantly interrupted with problems from your web host. I'm in the process of moving all my sites to a dedicated server on a different host and they are making that difficult as well. They won't provide root access to the migration team at my new host. That's understandable I guess but then their crazy mod security rules are blocking the migration team even when they have the correct passwords! Several of my clients' projects are behind schedule now and this has taken an emotional toll as well. Never again. read more
