  • Krystal just do everything well

    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.

  • The gold standard in UK web hosting

    Over the past 5 years, their service has been nothing short of stellar. What really stands out, besides their unwavering tech support, is their commitment to being at the forefront of technology while holding strong to their eco principles.

  • 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.

  • 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.
