Liquid Web vs Nexcess: 2021 Review
Last year, on 30th June 2020, I was working with a client who wanted to revise his entire website as he was so fed up with slower loading time and bad customer service(the thing we all hate).
I had few hosting providers in mind but wasn’t sure which hosting services to recommend, then Gmail my savior notified me about a mail that was sent by someone who was recommending me Liquid Web.
Yes, you heard it right a recommendation email.
At first, I thought of ignoring it but then I opened it and it went like:
Okay, I kinda exaggerated. It read and I quote Liquid Web is a hosting provider for VPS and dedicated server hosting.
It offers various hosting services like:
- Cloud-based hosting
- Dedicated hosting
- Reseller hosting
- Cloud WordPress hosting VPS
- Hybrid hosting
While maintaining website uptime of 99.99%. The main thing is they do not provide shared hosting.
I was like okay, got it.
So, I stopped halfway and googled Liquid Web and I was amazed by its interesting facts:
Liquid web has catered more than 50k customers from more than 150 countries, while successfully managing over 5 lakhs+ sites all around the the world, with amazing A Team of around 500 specialists to serve customers (it seemed very helpful for my client).
Apart from all this, they provide facility of email, phone calls, and live chat for 24hours a day, 7 days a week(a dream of every website owner).
Isn’t it worth trying — that’s the first thought which came to my mind after reading all this.
So, finally, I tried and hosted my client’s website using Liquid Web and the results were really amazing.
Website loading time got faster, its rocking customer staff solved all the problems, and the client ended up paying me more than we agreed on. (Did happen though)
One thing I really liked about the Liquid Web is they offer site migration for free and their starting plans are of just $15/month(kinda affordable).
But the story doesn’t end here. After getting to know Liquid Web closely, I came across Nexcess — a Liquid Web brand primarily focused on WordPress & Content Management System (CMS) for content sites and eCommerce.
It provides various services like:
- Managed Magento Hosting
- A fully managed Woocommerce Solution
- Nexcess Store Builder
- WordPress Hosting
- Drupal
- Nexcess membership sites with WP Quick Start
And, all the services related to WordPress and eCommerce.
I did found Nexcess more costly than Liquid Web as its starting plans are of $19/month. Though it ensures double protection security for your site and provides amazing customer service.
But now the main question is which would be useful for you.
Don’t worry, I did seek that out too. Just go through this infographic for a quick comparison, it explains everything.
Lastly, if I want to sum up both Liquid Web & Nexcess with an ad then it would go like:
If you get it you get it.
