Dear <<First Name>>,

On the 10th of March 2020 we acquired aTech, a UK coding house that writes world-class (and world-famous!) software such as DeployHQ, Codebase & Sirportly Helpdesk as well as running business VoIP services via Dial 9.

At the time we were heading into uncharted COVID territory so we wrote that we’d celebrate this incredibly important union at a later date. Today marks one year since we welcomed aTech into the Krystal family, so we thought it would be the perfect date to commemorate!

aTech wrote Onyx & Katapult

For years before aTech joined Krystal we were working together on two novel software platforms; Onyx, the UK’s fastest Wordpress Hosting and Katapult, the UK’s home-grown answer to Public Clouds like AWS.

In an increasingly competitive market the only way to remain independent and continue growing is to provide a consistently world-class service. And the only way to do that is control as much of the experience as is possible. These days this means being able to write your own software.

Working together confirmed that aTech had that rare combination of excellence and ethics and were exactly what we needed to stay ahead of the field. After working with them for years it already felt like they were part of the team, so we asked them if they wanted to join officially. I’m delighted to report (obviously!) that they said YES!

Now “Krystal Labs” (k.io), we’ve grown the software team 50% in the last year (and we’re still hiring!) to allow us to develop Onyx, Katapult and a new service that I'd like to introduce today for the first time. It's called “Metritool”...


Meet “Metritool” - a new website performance tool

Originally conceived by aTech, Metritool is a powerful yet simple-to-use tool that monitors your website’s performance across key metrics.

From May this year, Google will take your website’s performance into account when ranking it for search terms. Metritool conducts regular checks on often-forgotten details like SSL certificates, domain name expiration, redirects and more. Automated email notifications help you stay on top of these important details to get your site performing at its best and ranking as high as possible.

As an existing client you can try Metritool today, free of charge, for an unlimited number of sites.
 

Just visit metritool.com/krystal to sign up.


This is currently a beta tool and more advanced features will be added in future in response to client feedback, so get testing today and let us know how you find it using the feedback tool in the left menu!

It’s been a tough year for many and we appreciate your continued custom and support. We have a number of open positions, if you’d like to join the team or know someone that might, please share the link with them.

Kind regards,

Simon Blacker, CEO
