SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Aug. 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nexcess, a provider of high-performance WordPress, ExpressionEngine, and Magento hosting and a Magento Platinum Hosting Partner, has been included in the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing businesses in the US for the fifth consecutive year. Nexcess is ranked 1,837 in the 2014 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private businesses.
Inclusion in the Inc. 5000 requires sustained and consistent growth over the preceding 4 fiscal years. The hosting industry is highly competitive, and appearing in the Inc. 5000 for five consecutive years is a strong validation of Nexcess's commitment to excellence in providing reliable, high-performance hosting and unbeatable support.
"Constant innovation and iteration are at the heart of our company culture," commented Chris Wells, President and CEO of Nexcess, "We build the strong and lasting relationships that are key to continued growth by constantly and transparently working to provide the best Magento, WordPress, and ExpressionEngine hosting environments available."
Since its founding a little over a decade ago, Nexcess has become one of the most trusted web hosting and eCommerce hosting companies in the nation, with clients ranging from solo entrepreneurs and bloggers to the largest enterprise eCommerce stores. Nexcess's consistent growth is a testament to the company's ongoing investment in building an optimized platform that provides the security, reliability, and performance required by businesses who rely on their web presence to generate revenue.
Nexcess's revenue grew by 224% percent over the last three years to $11.7 million. Since its inclusion in last year's Inc. 5000 list, Nexcess has expanded its operations and redoubled its investment in the web hosting and eCommerce communities. Earlier this year, the company opened a new state-of-the-art 16,000-square-foot data center in Southfield, Michigan, augmenting its existing facilities in Dearborn, Michigan. Nexcess also continued to expand its international presence in Australia and the UK, as well as investing in a new facility in Miami, Florida, which is perfectly placed for eCommerce clients requiring low-latency access to Central and American markets.
Other highlights from Nexcess's year include sponsorship of Magento Live conferences in the UK, Australia, and Las Vegas; the introduction of Enterprise Support Groups to facilitate enhanced levels of support for large clients with demanding hosting requirements; the publication of comprehensive optimization guides for Magento and ExpressionEngine; and a significant upgrade to the company's high-performance Magento cluster hosting.
