Great hosting company

Moved all our hosting to Krystal several years ago and it's been a great experience. Support is always quick and helpful. By far one of the best hosting co's around.

The Best UK Hosting Company!

By far the best hosting company I've used over the past 15 years. The customer support is prompt, and they are always extremely helpful & knowledgeable about any issues.

I also found the interface in the admin section straightforward and easy to use, along with the cpanel access which gives you complete control over your websites and hosting.

This is why I stick with Krystal

I've been using Krystal as a hosting platform for several years. The customer service has always been excellent. I'm just setting up a new website with a new url and there were a couple of wee glitches (I'm not techie so probably something I did or didn't do). Sorted almost immediately by the customer support team. Worth every penny!

As a charity

As a charity, Krystal provides us with free hosting so I did not expect much support but they replied quickly and not only told me what I needed to do but did it for me. I was very impressed.

Not good if your wanting to automate your hosting business

I signed up to Krystal because they promote themselves as a premium UK host with good support, but my experience using their reseller hosting with WHMCS (a paid add-on) has been very disappointing.

I ran into a problem where WHMCS was not pulling the correct WHM reseller package names from the WHM API. This is a basic, essential part of running a hosting business — WHMCS automation depends on it. Instead of investigating the issue properly, support kept repeating the same workaround: “Just type the package name manually.”

This is not a real solution. WHMCS is not free — it is an add-on that Krystal charges extra for, so I expect the integration to actually work, not require manual hacks. When you’re paying for an automation system, being told to bypass the automation isn’t acceptable.

What frustrated me most was the lack of proper technical investigation. They didn’t check:
• The reseller ACL permissions
• The WHM API token permissions
• Whether WHMCS could access the API endpoint
• Whether the API was returning the correct package list
• Whether my account was configured as a proper reseller

Instead, I was given the fastest possible answer to get the ticket closed, even though the issue affects my ability to run a hosting business.

Krystal might be fine for basic shared hosting, but in my experience their reseller support is not suitable for anyone who needs reliable WHM/WHMCS integration. When a company charges extra for WHMCS, the support should match the product — not rely on quick fixes.

Unless their reseller support improves, I’ll be moving to another provider that understands reseller hosting and WHMCS properly.

Ticks all the boxes

We've been using Krystal since 2017 and haven't seriously looked at alternatives because there's no need to. Excellent support, efficient, quick and polite. Great packages and very flexible but with superb prices.

The best host you've probably never heard of.

Based in the UK and locally owned. It doesn't get better than that. The best service, the best support, the best experience. I have gone through many hosts before I landed on Krystal, and it feels like I have finally found my digital home.

Hello Leonidas,

We looked into this for you, and we saw that you raised a ticket during the night, asking for the FTP password for your account.

Your ticket was answered right away the next morning, giving you the details for logging into your account through FTP, and where to find your FTP password.

It appears that you did not see this, as our next conversation was you asking to cancel your account. We're sorry to see you go, and we hope that you find a web host that meets your needs.

Excellent service

I’ve been a customer for about 2 years and the experience has been amazing. They helped me during the migration and made sure everything worked. And the platform itself is very intuitive and easy to use.
