HostNexus - web hosting reviews
HostNexus is a very good web hosting company. Their small packages are not especially cost-effective, but their bigger packages are very interesting indeed. This is a serious company, not very big but not small either. I am seriously impressed by the knowledgeable posts that Laurence, the owner, posts at Webhostingtalk. That, and his sarcasm rarely fails to make me smile as well.
The service seems to be very good according to the users who have posted at WebHostingTalk.com:
Thread title: "hostnexus bad service"
Thread author: betqnet
My comments: That's what the thread title says.
Fortunately, things turn out to be quite different, or, as Esr Tek puts
it :
"I think hostnexus staff and Lawrence have handled this more than
professionally and was well within their rights."

My comments: This is not a customer's review, but it can be useful.
"I am currently looking into their services. I am not a
customer, but Ill explain my thought process.
1. Their servers are at Rackspace.com, the best dedicated server and
colo facility hands down. That means you're going to get virtually 100%
uptime. Major plus.
2. Their prices are extremely reasonable. Another great plus.
3. They allow 100 mySQL connections, that's twice as much as any other
hosting company I know. Another major plus
4. Their support forums seem busy, and I have found the staff to be
extremely responsive. Another great point.
And the ONLY negative I can think of, bandwidth overages are expensive.
This is not their fault though, they pay a lot for the bandwidth and
mark it just a bit. I'm just worried that I'm launching a service soon,
and bandwidth consumption could get large, I just don't want to get
stuck with a huge fee.
Oh, another tiny issue, they use the Plesk control panel, I'm not a
huge fan of it. It is extremely stable, which is a huge plus.
Would I go with them if? I definitely would if I knew my bandwidth
consumption would fit into one of their plans. Hope this helps a bit.
Good luck"

"I am a current customer with Hostnexus, have been since April 2002,
both as a client for my personal sites and as a reseller. (...)
Personal Touch - What made the decision a definite to stay with them,
and move all items there is the personal touch. I have seen them
install software for people, help them debug / tweak scripts, and stick
with them until they are happy. This is something I NEVER had happen at
other hosts. This is not standard policy for them, just a nice touch
they provide to help out clients."

"I've been with Host Nexus since March 2002, and couldn't be
happier. The prices are reasonable and, as Middleground said, their
uptime is great and support is excellent.
Laurence and Mike go the extra mile for clients and then some - I'm not
surprised that Middleground is moving the rest of his accounts over, as
I've seen other people do the same. I started with one domain, and I'm
up to three now, all hosted with them.
Best thing to do is visit the community forum (a great place to learn
and get support of all kinds) or talk to Laurence (NexDog) directly."

"is this a serious question being asked ?
no, it must be a joke thread... I'm hosted by Nexus, and I resell from
Nexus
if anyone can find anything wrong with host nexus then they can't be
hosted by them"

"I have been with HN for a good portion of a year now. And cant be happier. The customer service really is the best around. Whenever I have a problem which is rare I fill out a support ticket and usually get a reply within an hour.(...)"
