Nexcess promises superior loading speeds and server performance, particularly for Magento or WordPress websites. They boast that they’re up to 13x faster than standard web hosting services – which, according to my tests, is a fairly accurate claim. They accomplish this by utilizing SSDs and RAID for their cloud storage, along with Apache 2.4, MySQL 5.7, and PHP 7.0/7.1. This power-packed trio offers much lower memory consumption, better load balancing, improved security, and greater performance gains.

One unique feature Nexcess offers is their auto-scaling platform for Nexcess Cloud. This means that even if your website experiences a surge in traffic or e-commerce transactions, the server’s resources will be automatically scaled up to handle up to double the increased load – thereby ensuring optimal speeds for your visitors even during crunch times.
