Fabulous tech support at a bargainWhen I started building a website for my Emeriti association, I wanted a completely separate account which would eventually be managed by others. The price was great and the Nexcess division of Liquid Web provides the same level of support with phone pickup generally less than a minute. For Wordpress sites, it's the best.

Nexcess is awesome!We grew and had to change plans, but it was a breeze. Nexcess handled the bulk of the transition, and we had no issues. We currently are a semi-small website, as far as traffic and bandwidth needs, but we can grow knowing Nexcess can also grow with our needs.

Nonprofit web hosting FAQ
A nonprofit web host makes your website available on the internet so users can find, interact with, and donate to your 501(c)(3) organization online.
There are free nonprofit hosting services, but they are more unreliable than paid solutions. Free options offer bare-minimum resources on shared servers, which can result in site crashes, slow load times, and security breaches. If an organization is extremely small, free hosting may be the initial solution, but most nonprofits will eventually upgrade to a paid plan to accommodate traffic and donations.
Yes! Managed hosting takes the headaches out of keeping your nonprofit website online and optimized. Because your hosting company is taking care of server maintenance, speed, security, and scalability, you can focus on making a difference. And unlike free hosting, a managed host provides a higher quality of support when you hit a snag.
Unlike website builders like Wix and Squarespace, WordPress has more customization options for nonprofit websites. More than a website builder, WordPress is a tool that can reach your community in the best possible way and it’s 100% free to use. You can do anything with your site, from blogging to webinars to online charity auctions to donation campaigns. It’s easy to build a nonprofit website with a huge variety of page-building plugins.
GiveWP is the most-downloaded and best-rated plugin for nonprofit websites. This is because it is highly customizable. GiveWP has a free version and add-ons that cost extra. GiveWP’s free version packs in more features and optimizations than any other WordPress donation plugin.
Absolutely! You can register a domain here. Simply use the dropdown menu to choose “.org,” select a domain name, and purchase.
501(c)(3) organizations serve people in need, so website uptime is critical. Your host should keep your website online at all times, with redundancies in place to mitigate downtime. Scalable resource limits and right-sized plans are also critical, this will help with cost control and limit overage fees. If a website is accepting donations or has members with login credentials, it is vital that the host is PCI compliant and maintains strong security measures. Nexcess maintains 99.99% uptime for nonprofit websites and includes more resources, more features, and more security to save you money.
We certainly are! Together with our Family of Brands, we do our part to create a better, stronger future for our communities. Our Dewy Awards donate $1,000 to an employee’s nonprofit of choice, along with a blog and a social media post. We have sponsored Big Orange Heart events, an organization that promotes positive well-being and mental health for remote workers. All proceeds from the Nexcess swag shop go to the Trevor Project. We regularly hold Extra Life gaming events to fundraise for hospitals. We are also part of No Kid Hungry, a campaign of Share Our Strength, which is an organization committed to ending hunger and poverty. Nexcess has helped connect kids with 376,300+ meals since March 2020.
Nexcess does not offer discounts for nonprofits at this time, but we do offer regular sales with discounted pricing. If you are currently with another host, we also offer a hosting buyout program.
