How we look after your site
Managed services are included with every plan.
Updates checked before they go live
Visual Comparison checks your pages before and after each update, so a bad update gets caught before your visitors see it.
Automatic malware removal
Monarx scans every page, removes malware as soon as it finds it, and watches Google’s blocklist for you.
Private copies for testing changes
Every site gets its own staging site and development site.
Slow plugins flagged for you
Plugin Performance Monitor tells you when a plugin is dragging your site down.
Email on your own domain
Your email runs on the same plan as your site, with no separate bill to keep track of.
Caching and CDN on every plan
Every plan includes our Edge CDN and Object Cache Pro, plus EdgePress, which serves your pages from close to your visitors.

You request a migration in your Nexcess portal and tell us about your site.
Our team copies your site’s files and database into your Nexcess account.
You check the copy on a temporary domain while your current site stays live.
When you’re ready, you switch your domain over to Nexcess, with our team on hand to help with the DNS.

Why Nexcess managed hosting
People who know WordPress
You request a migration in your Nexcess portal and tell us about your site.
One site or 500
The same plan scales from one site to 500. Past that, we’ll build a custom plan with you.
We make the plugins, too
Kadence, LearnDash, The Events Calendar, and Give are all built in house. Pair the Nexcess Plugin Stack with managed hosting for WordPress for $350/yr.
Room to move up
When a site needs its own server, the same team can move it to managed VPS, dedicated, or managed cloud hosting.
Managed hosting for WordPress FAQ
Managed hosting makes sense when your website functions as a core business driver rather than a casual side project. Here are a few key signs it’s time to make the switch:
- You spend time managing servers, testing updates, and diagnosing issues instead of focusing on business.
- Downtime carries actual financial risk
- You need production-grade performance, resources, and monitoring without having to hire employees.
- You’ve hit resource ceilings on basic hosts.
