Krystal

Premium web hosting that’s fair to you and the planet.

In 2002, frustrated by poor service and bad business practices, I created Krystal. The aim was to provide an honest, reliable and personal alternative to the large faceless hosting corporations, and we've been doing things differently ever since. Join Krystal today and enjoy web hosting that's conscious without compromising on the quality of performance or the health of our planet.

  • Even the more technical of us need help!

    Despite having a background in tech, setting up websites still isn’t second nature to me. This is where Krystal and their great support team come in. I didn’t need to pull out my hair, because the chat feature came up, and a super-helpful real human helped me immediately and without stress.

  • Excellent provider

    As someone who isn’t web tech savvy, the team here helped me navigate designing my own website, even with all the technical glitches that happened along the way. By far, the most supportive and knowledgeable team I have worked with.

  • Fast and reliable

    It’s so easy to turn to a review site when you have a bad experience with a company. Thankfully, my experience with Krystal has been the opposite. Been a customer for four years, never had a problem. This week, I needed support. They answered promptly and did everything I need to get my site working again quickly.

  • Unusually good!

    I just realised that I’ve been with Krystal for the last 5 years! That’s pretty unusual indeed for me. On reflection, I’ve run through similar companies every 1-3 years over the last 25 years. What's kept me with Krystal is the following: good performance in what they do, good update information, everything is transparent, they treat me as a person, and they'll go the extra mile.

  • 10/10 every time

    Yet again Krystal came to our rescue in helping to resolve a technical problem way beyond our understanding. Tristan took as much time as was necessary to resolve the issue. 10/10 every time, no matter how big or small the problem is.

    A massive support network and outstanding service. Anyone who is complaining about Krystal has never used any of the other ‘giants’. Second to none - will be here for the long run

  • By far the best hosting service provider

    Krystal is the best hosting service provider I have come across. My website is always up and running smoothly, and I have received nothing but positive feedback about the speed and performance of my website, which I attribute to Krystal’s top-of-the-line hosting services.

  • Consistently wonderful

    They’ve been unbelievably consistent with their service and an absolute joy to work with. I’ve never dealt with a company that has kept its very high standards consistently. 5 stars doesn’t do this place justice!

  • Excellent customer service

    I had a few small business websites that I needed to migrate from from another host (which was slow and more expensive), and they helped me with step-by-step instructions after I struggled with it, and then helped me to troubleshoot errors on the other migrations I tried by myself. Absolutely great customer service!

  • Excellent customer service as always

    I’ve been a Krystal customer for many years, and on the rare occasions I needed help with something, I’ve always had a prompt and satisfactory answer to my questions. Krystal set the bar when it comes to customer service and I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone that requires hosting solutions.

  • Excellent customer support

    I rang Krystal after encountering an email issue with my iPhone. I was put through in a matter of moments to Steven, who was incredibly helpful in assisting my problem, which I could have spent hours on if not for his support. I was very grateful for the quick investigation!

    As an agency owner, you have hundreds of hosting companies to choose from, and we couldn’t be happier with Krystal. We’ve been with them for five years and the support - when needed - is first class. Very happy to recommend!

  • I honestly can’t recommend Krystal enough

    I spoke to Steven in Support, who was helpful beyond my expectations, exploring various options with me and talking me through every step to upgrade my IT to make it as easy as possible. I honestly can't recommend Krystal enough if all their employees are as helpful as he has been!

    Very well. Outstandingly well. Whether it be hosting, tech support, or domain-related, they are responsive and extremely competent. I have no intention of moving any of my domains or sites anywhere else.

  • Massive help!

    Having spent years of pain with another host, I have moved to Krystal and thank the Lord! I worked with Matthew today, and he issued an SSL and moved root folders of a domain for me in minutes. All sorted, and now I can get on with my day. I can’t recommend them enough!

  • Shine on, Krystal Hosting

    Been with this hosting company for a number of years, and always found them caring and professional. And, of course, they provide a great service. Well done, Krystal. You are a shining example of something we had back in the day, but sadly seem to have lost in the here and now.

    Everything about the Krystal platform is fantastic, but their support in particular is just outstanding. There's always little issues here and there when you host websites, and knowing you've got such a great support team at your fingertips just takes all the pressure off.

  • Well worth the money!

    I’ve been with Krystal since 2015, and have always been very impressed by the quality of their technical support. I’ve just had a problem with my email system, which they tracked down in a few hours, and at no extra charge, to an obscure fault in my Thunderbird email software.
