Speed, security and customer service. Working with AWS is a dream come true.

The support provided for Magento is the best out there. I have worked with a dozen or so hosts and none of them provide the in depth knowledge of the platform and how it interacts with the server.

Nexcess organizes their policies around getting more money out of you, not providing a good service.
