Will my hosting price change?
We will make every effort to match services at similar or improved pricing, though some customers may see a nominal price increase.
Will my existing services change?
We will aim to keep services on identical or enhanced platforms, depending on the current technology you use.
Customers with VPS or Dedicated servers will move to our Nexcess products. Feel free to review our complete list of Solutions and Services.
Customers with Shared hosting types will move to a shared platform with comparable features on Liquid Web. Check out the complete list of our Solutions and Services.
Will my IP addresses change?
Depending on the current technology in use, yes, IP addresses may need to be updated at your nameservers. We will guide you through the necessary changes if and when the time comes to do so. Most VPS and Dedicated customers will not need to make any DNS changes.
Whom do I contact for support?
You will soon be contacted with details on your specific upgrade to the new platform. Once your server is upgraded, you may contact Liquid Web or Nexcess 24/7/365 by telephone, live chat, or email. Before your upgrade, you will continue using the current Alpha Hosting support channels.
How do I pay my bill and manage my account?
You will soon be able to view your online billing and support account. You’ll be receiving more information on this, along with comprehensive instructions, in the very near future through an individualized ticket. Until the migration is complete, you will continue to pay for your server as you always have.
It will be important to confirm your payment information is correct after the migration is completed, to ensure it has transferred correctly.
What changes in Billing?
Liquid Web and Nexcess billing terms, payment options, and invoice dates will differ slightly from Alpha Hosting. However, you will find they are typically within the hosting industry. A few things to note:
Liquid Web does not offer biennial billing, so those on a biennial payment cycle will be moved to annual cycles at the same overall monthly rate.
The bill date for your next service period should be the same as it is today. However, if we do have to change your billing date, we will keep it as close to your original date as possible and prorate your bill.
Customers using PayPal subscriptions will need to sign up for PayPal recurring payments.
How do I order new or additional services?
We’ll be working with the Alpha Hosting team to choose the best solution for your sites when we begin the migration. If you need to upgrade or order new services beyond those you already have, please contact the Sales team for Liquid Web or Nexcess, and let our Solutions Advisors know that you are being migrated from Alpha Hosting.
Will my sites be migrated to a new location? If so, what are you doing to ensure a smooth transition?
Your data will be cloned from its existing location to one of our data centers here in Michigan by a trained and dedicated migration team. You may experience a small amount of downtime during a maintenance window we will provide you, and this will be communicated and scheduled well in advance.
