Toxic support. Avoid for anything serious.
I had worst welcome at my 1st question to a support "Aaron Ro.." They have a pathological habit of gaslighting their customers—if the node goes down or the network lags, expect to be told the problem is entirely on your end. Instead of technical solutions, you get defensive arguments and a total lack of professionalism. It is fine for a $1 disposable playground, but never trust them with a production database or a client project. If you want a host that respects your technical literacy rather than trying to manipulate you, look elsewhere. Some updates as requested: It is disappointing, though not surprising, to see the support team label a verified customer's experience as 'false' instead of addressing the issue. I have clear documentation of Ticket #216046 (dated Sunday, March 29th, 2026 (09:24)), where 'Aaron' responded with immediate defensiveness and dismissiveness to a simple inquiry. My review isn't 'false'; it is a direct reflection of the unprofessional communication style I encountered. If anyone doubts the validity of this experience, I am more than happy to share the screenshots of the exchange where the 'Operator' was more interested in arguing about RAM prices and 'rock bottom prices' than providing actual support. This gaslighting response only proves my point about the lack of professional integrity at Shift Hosting. UPDATE (March 31, 2026): > After posting this review, I received a private message in my support ticket from the same operator (Aaron). Instead of professional conflict resolution, I was met with more insults and a direct threat: "we do not take kindly to people like you you will be banned from purchasing anything in the future." The company is now trying to silence a customer for sharing a negative experience. They claim to be "transparent" in public, but use threats and bans in private tickets. This confirms exactly what I said: they lack professional integrity and resort to gaslighting and intimidation when faced with honest feedback. If you value your business and your rights as a consumer, stay away.

Aaron, the owner here. Yep we are 100% transparent and i want the world to see this reply. For anyone who doubts this here is proof. https://i.gyazo.com/39a4eb9a84df762f35cf6dceec0ec3b6.png You opened a ticket not asking for support for asking for a discount. you have no active services with us, and the first thing you did was ask for a discount on our "budget" VPS plan. I would hope enterprise people would not put critical apps on a shared budget VPS node. We have High availability custom services for that.... anyways hope you end up finding a cheaper host to lie about. Meanwhile we will continue to provide a great product with a great experience. :) if anyone has any issues they can email or call me directly.
