Nexcess (Now Liquid Web)

Nexcess was a managed WordPress and WooCommerce hosting provider, acquired by Liquid Web in 2019. The Nexcess brand was fully absorbed into Liquid Web in October 2025. nexcess.net now redirects to liquidweb.com. Existing customers retain access via my.nexcess.net, but all new managed WordPress plans are sold under the Liquid Web brand.

This entity exists for reference. The managed WordPress product that was Nexcess continues as Liquid Web’s managed WordPress offering at equivalent pricing (from $19/month). Email accounts are included; A transactional email is the automated message a WordPress site sends in response to a single user action – a password reset, an order confirmation, a form receipt – addressed to the user who triggered it. Read full reference → routes through the platform’s mail infrastructure.

See the Liquid Web entity for the current assessment.

Migration notes

The Nexcess managed WordPress and WooCommerce product line was absorbed into Liquid Web in October 2025. The product itself did not change — it runs on the same infrastructure — but the brand, billing portal, and new-customer sales moved to the Liquid Web umbrella.

If you are a current Nexcess customer: your account dashboard remains at my.nexcess.net; your plan, email configuration, and billing are unchanged. The email infrastructure (platform relay, basic email accounts included) is the same product described as "Liquid Web Managed WordPress" in the current Liquid Web entry.

If you found this page looking for Nexcess email documentation: the platform relay behavior, SPF setup, and sending limits are covered in the Liquid Web entry under the "Managed WordPress" sections. The 2025 plan revamp added "basic email" as an explicitly bundled feature; if your account predates October 2025, your email features may differ.

New Managed WordPress plans are sold through liquidweb.com. The Spark plan entry price remains $19/month.
