Customer Feedback

Layershift came highly recommended by one of our design agencies last year. Like any new relationship we treaded very carefully at first, asking for several quotes over a long period, and after some time we decided to opt for a managed dedicated server for some blogs and micro-sites. Very quickly we unexpectedly had to host a new subscription-based shopping site on the server - as ever there were technical questions which were beyond us, but Layershift were always quick and professional to respond to our questions and to get everything running smoothly for us.

In a world where web hosting companies seem to be solely focussed on attracting as many clients as possible and offering pretty basic (at best) customer service, Layershift excel in being able to provide truly personable and fast customer service. When your business is your web site, like it is for us, knowing there are true experts on hand 24/7 to help when things go wrong is priceless. I have recommended Layershift so many times and will continue to do so.

We moved from Fasthosts as we needed good Customer Service and they weren't delivering. As a web design company we don't want to worry about any hosting problems. We need a managed server from a UK provider with a high level of expertise including fast, reliable support from people who know what they are talking about - Layershift provide the complete solution. Over a year hosting with them without any downtime at all.
Highly recommended.
Managing Director - Den Creative Ltd

Layershift is our most trusted supplier for one reason - reliability and going the extra mile. They are always there and respond in a considered and pro active way to every request whether its at 3am or 3pm, Sunday or Tuesday. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Rob SmithStrategy Director - Blueleaf

Since discovering Layershift through hosting forum recommendations I've been massively impressed with their always prompt, professional & pro-active customer support. I've hosted with Layershift since 2007. Prior to this date I'd used various hosts and ended up migrating my client sites each time at considerable time and expense mainly due to platform instability & poor customer support. During the honeymoon period with previous hosts things were typically fine and then over time the service deteriorated though not with Layershift who have consistently over-delivered these past 5 years and so I've built up my own hosting business as well as recommended a number of colleagues who are now enjoying the same level of professionalism.
We now have several highly stable and powerful Linux VPS servers in place that meet our needs for both staging and production environments for a multitude of Content Management Systems, custom applications and mobile websites.
Layershift have engineers at their data centre and in the past 5 years there has been one occasion when we've had a hardware failure and the faulty unit was physically replaced and the server running optimally again within 30 minutes.
I know Layershift have got mine and my clients' backs as I grow my business. I only have 2 thumbs though if I had a third I'd put that up for them too. Thanks again.

I would just like to express my gratitude and say a big thank you for all your efforts on the transfer of our domains from UKFast. The transfer was very smooth and all issues were resolved during the process. The users have reported no errors and no loss of service so it is a success.
Bruce TomalinWeb Developer - Excel Publishing Ltd

Layershift was recommended to us a few years ago when we were looking for fast, reliable servers and infrastructure and top rate support, and they have more than lived up to that reputation. Their engineers are knowledgeable, efficient and very helpful, and often go way beyond the call of duty to help us. It's hugely reassuring to be able to leave our server management in such expert hands, and Layershift's consistently exceptional service means we can rely on them with complete confidence.
Gary BakerFounder & CEO - Swagger & Swoon

We design, develop and manage websites for a number of high profile clients, whose web presences are crucial to their business. With Layershift we can be confident that we have the resources to host all types of websites for them. We originally started on a shared server and upgraded to our own dedicated server to give us more capacity. Layershift's managed hosting option lets us concentrate on the things we are good at without having to worry about our servers, maintenance, upgrades, firewalls, etc.
We've found Layershift to be very responsive compared to other web hosts, with technicians often going the extra mile to install the software required so that we can meet our clients' needs.

15th May 2012We inherited our relationship with Layershift after buying out another company and have been amazed at the level of service we have received. The support provided during what was a very hectic period for us was nothing short of exceptional. Our queries have always been picked up promptly and dealt with diligently. Working with Layershift has been breath of fresh air compared to the many other providers we have worked with previously.
Tim JarrettMD - Jarrett & Lam Consulting
I chose Layershift because I offer 24x7 service and need total support 24x7, in the knowledge that I am only as good as the support that I receive. I just wanted to thank you for the support that I have received to date, and I want to acknowledge the professional support and assistance that I have received recently.
A brilliant experience and confirmation of why I have chosen your good selves to host my services.
I've used many different hosting companies, but none compare to Layershift. Great product, great price and as a managed service it takes all the hassle out of hosting.
The technical support guys have been amazing, I've never experienced service like this and I rely on these guys to make my business run smoothly. First class all round, and I look forward to many years of doing business with them.
Owner - Warren Media
Apart from the usual teething problems, it's all gone really well and we would like to say a big thank you to you and the tech support guys who are brilliant.
The servers seem to be much faster and it's very re-assuring to know you're on hand to help.
Victor and the rest of the team always provide the best service whenever I put in a support request. Fast, efficient, and done properly.
Layershift offer by far the best support of any hosts I have used, which is why I always recommend them to clients. Thanks guys.
Web Developer - iamdash
Quite brilliant - thank you so much for simplifying a process that looked complex and in fact was very easy. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction - not sure what I would do without your support.
Your support and service is the tops!
Founder - in-syte
I have been a Layershift customer for over 6 years. During this time they've never let me down and I have come to learn that their fine staff are pretty darn smart. It's refreshing to communicate with a tech support staff that really understands computers.
Computers will always have issues, but in those rare instances their response has been quick and more importantly complete.
Owner - Walden Pond Design
I have used Layershift for our business hosting since 2008. I find their service reliable, their prices competitive and their support excellent.
I use a number of hosting services for various projects but have found none compare to the quality I receive from Layershift which is the reason I continue to use them day after day for my core business operations.
