Hosting the Christmas Holiday @Layershift

The Christmas holiday season is already kicking into gear, with people travelling across country, and even around the world, to spend precious time with their loved ones. For many, hosting servers and services are already far from their minds – but of course when you open up that website to spend a Christmas gift voucher, or play that new online game, you still expect it to work flawlessly.

Layershift Christmas opening times

Just like you, we try to give our hard working teams a nice relaxing Christmas so that they can spend quality time with their families and loved ones.

We all know that the internet never sleeps, and certainly server problems are not so kind as to respect any holiday season – so be assured that even though we will be running with a skeleton staff (to give our team as much of a well deserved break as possible) over the Christmas period, we remain ready to handle any issue and provide assistance 24×7: even on Christmas Day itself.

We’ll be here working hard throughout the Christmas period monitoring and pro-actively resolving any problems that arise to ensure that everything continues to run smoothly. Contact our support team as normal for any urgent technical assistance you may need and we’ll resolve any problem for you in our usual timely expert manner.

As expected, due to skeleton staff levels, non-urgent issues may be handled more slowly than usual during public holidays (Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day). We ask for your patience and understanding as our team recuperate with their own families during this period.

Our Sales and Billing team will also be available to assist as normal except for public holidays and weekends.

Enjoy the downtime whilst your server stays up this Christmas

If like many of our customers, you run your own ecommerce business, whilst recovering from the frantic Christmas shopping season, you’re probably also preparing for your post-Christmas sales drive; in the fast-paced world of online shopping, starting as soon as Christmas Day itself!

Combining quality family time with a peak sales period opportunity is not easy – you certainly don’t want to spend hours struggling to get your server to behave properly under this heavy load (that’s a disaster at any time, but even more so when you’d much rather be relaxing with the rest of the family in front of the latest Dr. Who special!).

During this beautiful but busy period, Layershift are here looking after your servers so you can simply enjoy your entire Christmas holiday season in peace – don’t worry about fixing server problems at 2 A.M. or missing the New Years Eve celebrations!

We hope next year is as big for you as it promises to be for us. We’re always happy to help you launch your next big venture or hear your thoughts, so drop us an email or catch us on twitter! We’ll be pleased to hear from you and happy to discuss how we can help to make your project a huge success.

Don’t forget that if you need some temporary extra server resources to handle your busy January sales period, our Cloud VPS servers feature Non-stop Upgrade™ technology enabling you to upgrade or downgrade instantly via the My Layershift control panel without any downtime or service disruption, whilst our Jelastic PaaS automatically resizes in real-time to suit your website’s resource needs.

We’re not just here to provide the best managed hosting services; we take care of every aspect of your server administration, so that you can fully enjoy the holidays!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Last but not least, team Layershift wishes you a very Merry Christmas, and a prosperous 2014 growing your business to the next level on our lightning fast, reliable hosting servers.

Don’t forget to enjoy these happy moments with your friends and family; let yourself relax for a few days safe in the knowledge that we’ve always got you covered. We’ll be here to drive your venture forwards in 2014!

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful customers for hosting and growing their businesses together with us here at Layershift. We look forward to working together again in the New Year, helping you to deliver lots of new and innovative projects for your clients, customers, and users.
