Nexcess, the premium hosting provider optimized for WordPress, WooCommerce, and Magento, and Liquid Web, a leading provider of cloud hosting for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), announced they have joined forces as one brand.

With over 50 years of combined hosting experience, the move supports Liquid Web’s mission to broaden its array of offerings from SMB to enterprise solutions, deepen its technical expertise and support, and elevate the hosting market with a commitment to continued innovation.

Scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2024, the strategic move promises to unify the sister brands while also delivering unparalleled hosting experiences to customers.

As a part of the Liquid Web family of brands, this move marks a new chapter in Nexcess’ two-decade long journey. Founded in 2000, Nexcess grew to offer industry-leading managed hosting optimized for top content and commerce platforms — WordPress, WooCommerce, and Magento — with an array of offerings spanning enterprise level to SMBs to starter markets.

Moving forward, Nexcess will continue to support eCommerce sites and stores around the world. The unified brand, however, will combine the deep eCommerce expertise of Nexcess with Liquid Web’s robust, secure, and highly performant hosting platforms. This strategic move promises a wider range of services, leveraging the combined knowledge and expertise of both teams for superior customer support and service — along with a commitment to continuous innovation in hosting technologies and services.

“At both Liquid Web and Nexcess, our mission has always been to help businesses grow and make money online. We pride ourselves on helping organizations of all sizes start, manage, and expand their online businesses — something we’ve done for over 25 years,” says Carrie Wheeler, President of Liquid Web.

“We’re thrilled for this next chapter of Nexcess and Liquid Web. Bringing our brands together will help us continue our dedication to high-quality service and best-in-class hosting. Enabling and empowering our customers’ digital success remains our top priority.”

Services, plans, and contacts at Nexcess and Liquid Web will continue on as usual, but with the added benefit of enhanced resources and capabilities. Existing customers can expect a smooth transition, with no disruption to the exceptional service they rely on.
