  • Simply a great service!

    Been with Krystal for years at this point for web hosting but never had my domains with them until now. Transferred the majority of my domains in so far so their systems can mange those too as the old registrar was getting way to pricy compared to Krystal at nearly double the price.

  • Krystal - clearly the best.

    If you are migrating and find yourself up in the air without a trusty pilot, the Krystal help team are your air traffic control and will bring you to a safe landing. Why can't every company do it this way? You may have an issue to resolve. If you choose to pick up the 'phone (yes, you can speak with a human being at Krystal) : 1. You get an immediate response - that's every time you need to call, or email. 2. There is an articulate, intelligible, intelligent, knowledgeable, patient person who will see clearly through your digital fog. Thank you Alex, Jack, Jack F., Jordan.

  • I was hesitant about changing host but…

    I was hesitant about changing host but the team were extremely friendly and helpful and made the migration process very straightforward. I came back from work and the website had been moved over for me, all without me having to do anything! The performance boost my website has gained is massive - Google PageSpeed Insights now shows my website to be a 99/100! To anyone thinking about going with Krystal, please do! You won't regret it. Thank you to Jordan, Bradley, Jack and Kris at Krystal for making the migration process pain-free.

  • Krystal are amazing!

    Krystal's cloud based infrastructure and hosting are fantastic. Since we have been using them, all of our websites perform faster than they have done with any previous host. The best part about Krystal, is their support who is always there at a drop of a hat, and are super friendly! Also Olesia today went above and beyond to help with a large domain transfer :)

  • Don't even look elsewhere!

    I've probably used 10 or 12 hosting providers over my career but none have even come close to the quality of service and support that I've had the pleasure of experiencing with Krystal.
