Celebrating 25 Years of Helping Businesses Grow

In 2022, Liquid Web begins its twenty fifth 12 months of business. As we rejoice this milestone, we achieve this with a Family of Brands that represents 10 corporations purpose-built to deliver technology, services, and support for thriving businesses and nonprofits running mission-critical web sites, eCommerce stores, and applications. 

​​We start by thanking our employees, the Most Helpful Humans in Hosting®, who make us an industry leader known for fast, highly available, secure, and hassle-free hosting. We also extend our deep appreciation to our customers who trust us with their business. We take great pride in being a trusted technology partner for these small business owners and the designers, developers, and agencies who create for them globally. 

As a Family of Brands, we’ve three distinct but highly related product groups. Liquid Web (High Performance Managed Hosting), Nexcess (Digital Commerce Cloud), and StellarWP (WordPress Software and Tools) have greater than 500,000+ sites under management, supporting over 175,000 paying customers and a couple of.5 Million+ free version software users. We share a standard mission to enable small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) – and the creators who construct sites and stores for them – to earn cash online.

While you consider the pace of innovation and alter in technology, 25 years represents multiple lifetimes of learning, growth, and evolution. In 1997, when Liquid Web was founded as a shared hosting company in Holt, Michigan, only 18% of households in America had Web access. As well as, 56kbps modems were brand latest to the industry, and Netscape Navigator was the net browser of selection. In 2022, as we rejoice this milestone, WordPress is probably the most used content management system (CMS) on the earth, powering over 40% of the Web and an estimated 64 million web sites. And over the past 25 years, we modified too. We’ve built a broad portfolio of services that allow our customers to purchase and manage the best way they need and have the peace of mind that they’re backed by experts who’re here to assist 24/7/365. 

We consider that we are able to lead in providing simplified, highly performant, secure, curated solutions to speed up SMBs and creators getting, staying, and growing online. Our North Star, our strategic vision, is to proceed to simplify online commerce – in all its forms – for brand new and existing online merchants, leveraging open-source solutions riding on our infrastructure, our software assets, our industry expertise, and our world-class technical support.

As we rejoice this milestone, we do it with acknowledgment and gratitude to Matt Hill, the founding father of Liquid Web, who passed away unexpectedly on July thirteenth of this 12 months. He was in highschool when he founded Liquid Web. And for 18 years, before he sold in 2015, with the assistance of his family and friends, he built the inspiration for what we’re today. We’re grateful for his entrepreneurial vision and technological talent that began the chance and success that each one of us at Liquid Web enjoy today.

We now have a fantastic deal of pride in what we’ve completed together. We also proceed to grasp the responsibility that we own, knowing that our services are tied to the companies we support. All of us have a purpose here: to enable small businesses to earn cash online. And you’ve got our commitment that On this age of technology, we provides you with greater than just the most effective and widest selection of hosting products.
