Nexcess Brings Dev Sites to WordPress and WooCommerce Cloud Hosting

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Sept. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nexcess has announced the introduction of Cloud Dev Sites to the Nexcess Cloud. The new Dev Sites allow WordPress and WooCommerce cloud hosting clients to instantly deploy secure development and staging sites on the Nexcess Cloud platform.

Development sites are used to develop and test code and design changes that could affect the performance and stability of a production site. A Nexcess Cloud Dev Site is a complete copy of a production WordPress site or WooCommerce store, with the same software versions, scrubbed data, and identical cloud infrastructure.

"The Nexcess Cloud was built with developers in mind. From release, we offered version control integration with support for Git, multi-user SSH access, and Composer support," commented Chris Wells, President and CEO of Nexcess. "The addition of secure development and staging sites makes it even easier for Nexcess clients to iterate quickly and safely on their websites and eCommerce stores."

Nexcess Cloud Dev Sites provide a secure environment for development and testing. All personally identifying data in the production database is replaced with placeholder information and unique encryption keys are used in each development site. This data scrubbing process means that Nexcess Cloud Dev Sites can be worked on by third-party agencies, developers, and testers without exposing sensitive data.

The Nexcess Cloud provides flexible, scalable hosting for WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, and CraftCMS sites of any size. Nexcess cloud users benefit from instant self-service upgrades and downgrades, and automatic scaling that dynamically increases resources to ensure that sites and eCommerce stores always have the resources they need.

In the Nexcess Cloud, each hosting environment is optimized to maximize the performance and stability of the application it hosts, including PHP, database, caching, operating system, and network optimizations.
