Summary for those who don't want to read it all: A great hosting service, yet unknown to many.
I've been using Shifthosting for over a year now, and I discovered it through a banner ad on BuiltByBit (formerly MCMarket). At first, I was skeptical about the prices for their VMs, as they were much lower than other services. At that time, my company wasn't generating enough revenue to afford higher-end options, so I decided to give them a try.
Before Shifthosting, I used a well-known French host, but my experience was negative—sudden outages, network congestion, and so on. When I switched to Shift, I was initially doubtful about the quality they could offer at such a low price. However, they pleasantly surprised me: the quality was much better for a lower cost. Since then, my services haven't experienced any downtime or network issues.
Their support team is also excellent, always attentive and focused on customer satisfaction. Honestly, Shifthosting deserves more visibility. If it weren't for visiting MCM, I wouldn't have found them.

Fantastic
I purchased a dedicated server from them and it’s been perfect. It’s a really cheap price for what you get, it has perfect performance and no flaws. The only thing I’d wish for is more eastern locations, I got an Atlanta dedicated server and a New York location would be helpful. But that certainly doesn’t mean anything, this service and company has been flawless

Incredible hosting provider
I was offered one of their first dedicated servers to test out this upcoming service, and I have absolutely no regrets. I will be using this host for everything from now on.
I have had perfect uptime, no issues with connections / hardware.
They have replied swiftly to any requests or questions I had and have easily outdone any other host I've used in the last 5 years.
I'm extremely happy that I decided to go with them. I would recommend this to anyone in need of a host for whatever need.

Shifting From Less than Service to Amazing Service
## The Tale of "Server-Less" Glenn and the Quest for the Perfect Datacenter Partner
In the bustling world of the internet, where everything seems to be ephemeral and fleeting, there exists one unsung hero: the datacenter. For Glenn Kelley, the journey to find the perfect datacenter and dedicated server provider was akin to a knight's quest for the Holy Grail. Only instead of a chalice, Glenn was on a hunt for seamless server performance, and trust me, it was not all smooth sailing.
### Once Upon a Server Crash...
Imagine, if you will, a sunny day where our hero, Glenn, was sipping on his morning coffee, expecting another mundane day ahead. But no, the universe had different plans. His phone buzzed, and not in the gentle "your food delivery is arriving" way. It was more of the "your server has crashed, and all your clients are now cyber-orphans" kind.
Now, one would think, “Oh, it's just a one-time thing. Let’s do a chassis swap, and all will be well.” But alas! The vendor Glenn had chosen, let’s call them "NotSoStable Servers Inc.", seemed to have a policy more in line with "let's wait and see if it fixes itself". Continuous failures followed, making it seem like the servers had developed a personal vendetta against Glenn. Each crash echoed the dreadful cost of lost business and turned Glenn's once-dark hair a shade lighter.
### The Flight of Freedom
As the proverb goes, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” So, Glenn, having learned his lesson, began his search for the right vendor. With a magnifying glass and an uncanny sense of determination, he vetted through numerous providers. And then, as if the heavens themselves intervened, he found the one! Let’s name them, "AmazinglySmooth Servers Ltd."
Suddenly, everything clicked into place. Servers hummed in harmony, data flowed like poetic streams, and downtimes became tales of yore. The transformation was so stark that Glenn often pinched himself to ensure he wasn’t dreaming.
And then came the day of the ultimate test. Glenn, after eons, booked himself a flight. Not just any flight, but one without the constant anxiety of server failures and downtimes. He boarded the plane, took a deep breath, and for the first time in what felt like forever, Glenn enjoyed an uninterrupted in-flight movie, sipped on some bubbly, and drifted off to sleep.
By the time the plane touched down, Glenn realized he hadn't frantically checked his phone once. AmazinglySmooth Servers Ltd. had lived up to its name.
### In Conclusion
In the realm of digital ventures, where a simple glitch can cascade into an avalanche of problems, choosing the right datacenter and dedicated server provider is not just important – it's paramount. Glenn Kelley’s roller-coaster ride is a testament to this.
So, the next time you’re in the market for a datacenter partner, remember Glenn’s journey. Choose wisely, lest you want to be on a perpetual caffeine high, forever awaiting the next server meltdown.
And to Glenn, if you're reading this, here’s hoping your future flights are always as serene as the clouds you soar above! Cheers to being "server-less" in the best way possible!
