I purchased a nexcess magento hosting service for deploying my B2C website. Nexcess's magento escrow performance is great and has great after-sales service. Great nexcess hosting service. I will recommend it to my friends and colleagues.

Terrible spam protections
If you want spam in your inbox. Use these guys. And they won't help you fix it. They will tell you "its how it is".

I plan to get a refund first thing in the morning. We shopped all around for decent hosting services for a software called e-Fiction. Nexcess claims to offer support, http://www.nexcess.net/software/efiction-web-hosting, but not one rep even knew what it was. Needless to say it wouldn't install so I tried for the wordpress plugin. After speaking with three reps, Charles refused to assist and hung up on me. Just don't do it.

Overview
Services: Web HostingDomain Registration Own datacenterAbout Nexcess
NEXCESS.NET was founded in 2000 as the proverbial "two guys in a garage" with aspirations of providing good, quality hosting services to the masses. The masses, in the beginning, were simply friends, family and any other people we could convince into using our fledgling service. It was very slow going in the beginning which gave us time to think...and write software. The InterWorx brand of web hosting control panel software was actually born, in part, out of our early days of tinkering. InterWorx™ was spun off in 2005 but we still take time to tinker during the slower days, even if they are fewer in number.As for our own growth we opened our own Data Center facility in late 2006 which allows us to provide an even higher level of customer service and support. Our data center is located in the Detroit metro area (Dearborn, MI), and we've recently begun working to make it a 100% "green" facility - beginning what will be a long committment to green web hosting. Additionally, we've released 3 new brands to further expand our web hosting offerings into virtual private servers, dedicated hosting and Michigan colocation. These new brands will round out our product offerings to provide a complete hosting growth cycle for our clients:
* MaxVPS - MaxVPS provides virtual private server (VPS or VDS) which give growing websites a cost effective upgrade path to a dedicated server. VPS systems provide the security and performance of a dedicated server but at shared hosting prices.
* EliteRAX - EliteRAX provides dedicated servers, clustered server setups such as load balanced clusters and high-availability clusters as well as colocation solutions at our facility. As clients outgrow shared and VPS hosting EliteRAX has a variety of offerings from the standard fare to the completely custom to handle this growth.
* LevelFX - LevelFX is your one stop shop for hosting accessories. Domain names, SSL certificates, website templates..you name it LevelFX has got it when it comes to getting started or accessorizing your site.
Our client base has grown since those early days and we can attribute this growth to our focus on old fashioned customer service. To this day our main source of new clients is via word-of-mouth and while many folks refer clients to us as a matter of course we do actually offer a reward for referrals. A large part of our success can be attributed to the relationships built with clients over the past years. Many of our clients have grown from very small businesses or tiny botique sites into large operations requiring complex hosting solutions over the years and we've had the pleasure of helping them grow.
Our Data Center Facility
We own and operate our own Data Center facility located in Dearborn, Michigan. This facility is the backbone of our web hosting operations and provides a well connected, redundant, secure and temperature controlled environment for all of our equipment and our customer hosted gear. Highlights of our facility include:
* Power · Full UPS and generator backup systems installed and tested weekly [more]
* Security · All facility entrances/exits card key controlled, and facilities are staffed 24/7 and monitored by camera
* Environmental · Redundant 22-ton Liebert HVAC systems [more]
* Support · Facility staffed 24x7x365 to serve you [more]
* Connectivity · Multiple gigabits of high quality bandwidth [more]

Managed vs. Unmanaged Servers for Magento Hosting - Dedicated server hosting is ideal for a busy Magento store, but should you choose a managed or unmanaged server? Managed vs. unmanaged Magento hosting, which is the right choice for an e-commerce store? Let's take a look at the pros and cons of each, and consider which is best for Magento retailers.
Author: Josh Ward, VP of Global Sales at managed hosting provider Nexcess.
eCommerce stores often start life on shared web hosting. Shared hosting is inexpensive. A well-engineered shared web hosting platform may provide excellent performance for a store that doesn't expect a large number of concurrent shoppers. But as your business grows, you might run into resource constraints and contention issues that impact performance and reliability.
At this point in the life of your ecommerce business, there are a couple of options: cloud hosting or dedicated server hosting. In this article, I will focus on dedicated server hosting and on choosing between a managed or unmanaged server.

Nexcess support is horrible
I switched to Nexcess sip-100 plan from Host Gator business plan thinking that I would get a server tuned for Magento and from what I could find in forums good support. Well the support has been horrible since the day the migration took place. It is going on 3 weeks now and I have yet to begin working on my site. The support team just does not seem to be able to take a problem and run with it. It gets delayed, they really seem like they have no idea how to fix your problems, you can't get a status from them and just try to get them to bounce it up to a higher level of support, it just doesn't happen. I guess I was spoiled at Host Gator and their extraordinary support team, but I really should have figured out when a company only has email support it was going to be problematic. Send an email in and wait and hope they actually answer it, no way to simply open a chat session if a problem is high priority or you simply need support now. I really have to consider moving off and finding [read more...]

Everything has been fine with nexcess.net (their customer service is excellent) until 6/18/10 when all their nameservers crashed! I have approximately 10 sites, including customer sites, hosted there on my recommendation. Imagine my dismay when all the sites suddenly disappeared!
The only place I could get any information was Twitter - all the other folks on nexcess posting there about the failure.
I guess anyone can get one screwup, but please nexcess, let us know what happened and what you are doing to ensure it doesn't happen again!

I switch almost a year ago from Host Gator. Gator's support was very hard to get a hold of. I was on hold all the time. Nexcess has great speed, always up and excellent support. Their on-line help manuals are top-notch. I would highly recommend Nexcess for any hosting needs. The price is not the lowest, but you get what you pay for. Its certainly worth it if your running E-Commerce.

The good.
I've been with Nexcess.net for a long time. There service is #1 Top notch. I cannot stress that enough. If you enter a ticket, a REAL human is on your case through email in a matter of minutes and it doesnt matter what time of day.
The service is also stable and can take peaks. They dont seem to over subscribe their servers at all.
The Bad
The cost is higher then most, the bandwidth limits are low. Thats it...

I switched to Nexcess from a shared host because I wanted a host that could withstand some of the surges and peaks in traffic my website experience.
I explained this to Nexcess and they put me on a dedicated server, dual xeon, 2.8ghz with 3 gigs of ram. At the first peak in traffic the site went down for several hours, costing me several thousands of dollars in business.
The sad part is, my website only experienced 1k visits over the course of the day, and their DEDICATED server still crapped out. My old host, Lunarpages.com could handle much more traffic on their shared servers.
Their email-only customer service was prompt but they couldn't tell me why their server crashed with so little traffic. Needless to say I canceled my service due to the poor performance, yet Nexcess still billed me for an extra month of hosting, even though I canceled literally minutes after my plan was renewed.

At the time the dell dual xeon line was the best we had. This was also before the SIP plans were created and when Magento itself was still very young and much more resource intensive than it is now. The server that they were on when they first signed up with us was a Celeron server for $49.95/month, lowest server we offered and when they learned of their upcoming traffic spike from being mentioned on the oprah show, they asked us if we could set them up with something higher to handle the spike. We provided them with a Dell 2850 with Dual Xeon processors. The server did indeed spike, I'm not sure exactly where they got the 1000 hits number from, but I have no way of knowing if that was accurate or not, but during the initial spike there was a hardware issue with the box. Within an hour the hardware issue was fixed and the server withstood the rest of the spikes that day that occurred from the show promotion. Once the day was over, they stayed on the box at no charge for several days [...]
