Support that isn’t scripted
WP Engine support is available by chat, but you may reach someone who is just following a script. That’s called “tier 1” support, and it’s not helpful.
Nexcess support knows WordPress inside and out. Fast, friendly resolutions are only a phone call, email or live chat away. Speak to a real WordPress expert 24/7/365.
Every tech is motivated to get to the root of any situation. They go the extra mile so you don't have to scratch your head forever. They have the answer immediately.

Success shouldn’t cost extra
You throw a party. Tons of people show up. When the bill comes, you see you were charged for every single person that wasn’t on the guest list. Even though there was room for everyone.
That’s bogus, right?
Unlike WP Engine, Nexcess doesn’t cap the number of visitors to your site. You get unlimited traffic and free autoscaling for unexpected traffic surges.

FREE Plugin Performance Monitor
Never worry about a WordPress plugin crashing your site. Plugin Performance Monitor helps you fix performance issues before they start.
You’ll pay $10/month this functionality at WP Engine.
Don’t limit yourself to 10 themes
WP Engine gives you 10 WordPress themes free.
Nexcess knows you need more.

Security isn’t a “premium feature”
WP Engine charges you $45 a month for industry-standard website security. That’s more than you’ll pay for the WP Engine starter plan.
At Nexcess, enterprise-grade security is built-in. Proactive monitoring, robust firewalls, malware detection and DDoS prevention won’t cost you.
