Managed WordPress hosting FAQ
Fully managed means you can run your site without managing the technical details. Once you sign up, you won’t have to think about your WordPress hosting much — if at all. Our experts will migrate your site for free, or you can start building a new site with our page builder plugins in wp-admin. Simply point your site at our servers, connect your preferred services, and you’re hosted.
There are companies who provide a space where you can run PHP and MySQL code and call it “WordPress hosting.” But, it’s basic hosting with “WordPress” in the name. You’re responsible for administrative tasks and troubleshooting with lower quality of support. A managed host eliminates those hassles. They take care of security patches, plugin updates, backend maintenance, backups, and more. The best WordPress providers offer responsive, WordPress-specific guidance without making you pay extra.
Managed hosting costs more because your host maintains your system hardware and WordPress software for optimum performance. It also comes with features that help you build and manage a WordPress site: migrations, plugins, performance tools, SSLs, CDNs, virus and security protection, and more. While cheap hosting may save you money in the short term, managed hosting saves you money and stress in the long run. Managed WordPress hosting is worth the cost.
You get more for your money. We have the widest scope of support in the industry; we can help with a broad range of questions and concerns. We’ve optimized for what WordPress users need to run a successful, monetized websites. Performance, security, scalability, and flexibility are built into the platform.
We finely tune your hosting resources for maximum performance with application-specific optimizations, platform features, and PHP flexibility. With our global data centers, we make your WordPress website fast, no matter where your users are.
A staging site is a test site that allows you to see plugin updates, and website changes before deploying. Not all staging sites are created equal. At Nexcess, we provide free, secure staging sites that allow you to safely test changes.
Also known as visual regression testing, visual compare is a tool that shows how WordPress plugins will impact the look of your site. Nexcess includes visual compare in every WordPress hosting plan.
Absolutely, yes. Agencies and developers can purchase client plans individually, or purchase our agency-level WordPress plans with more site capacity. We also have an amazing agency partner program that comes with elevated support and referral payouts.
Yes, WordPress is by far the best CMS for building an online business. At Nexcess, we’ve optimized WordPress for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re a one-person shop or an enterprise using WordPress, our hosting scales alongside you so you can grow.
Key advantages of hosted managed WordPress include straightforward site launches, easy migrations, accessible backups, security you don’t have to think about, and WordPress experts that answer your questions quickly and accurately.

Nexcess grows with you. Built-in autoscaling allows you to break capacity limits for short amounts of time, so when your site grows, it won’t crash or slow down. It limits your need to upgrade to a different plan, without sacrificing performance.
If you’re interested in adding ecommerce to your website, we recommend our WordPress ecommerce plans. Performance is uniquely optimized for transactions and sales.

Been Loving Every Single Minute
We recently switched over to Nexcess for our WordPress hosting and have loved every minute! Our web speed has improved and their support team is ALWAYS helpful and friendly
- Carol
Patient Support, Excellent Service
When I started with Nexcess Hosting a few years ago, I was inexperienced. I utilize their Woo and WP optimized hosting and not only did I learn so much from their Knowledge Base, I also received excellent and patient replies when making direct inquiries- solutions to my issues were always addressed and rectified quickly
- Fredric
I've been with Nexcess 13 years and still a fan
They are always willing to go the extra mile. When we migrated to BigCommerce I was encouraged by an outside party to switch hosting, but because of how amazing Nexcess has been I decided to stay. Nexcess excels and shines at being
