Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 348 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the exceptional customer service, highlighting the staff's helpfulness, professionalism, and quick response times. Many appreciate the personalized approach and the ability to speak with real people who are patient, listen, and resolve problems efficiently. The service itself is frequently described as excellent, reliable, and offering great choices to suit various user needs, with many noting the smooth onboarding and migration processes. However, some customers also noted issues with the initial handling of calls, with one reviewer experiencing a dismissive and unhelpful advisor. Additionally, a few people were dissatisfied with the verification process for purchasing hosting, finding it overly intrusive and comparable to a mortgage application. A small number of reviewers also reported experiencing daily outages and unreliable service, which contradicted the company's advertised uptime.

Excellent Customer Service!

The main thing I love about Krystal is their excellent customer service - whenever I have an issue, getting through to one of their advisors is quick, and they are always polite, patient and sort out the issue with ease. I am very happy I switched over to Krystal and have been recommending them to all my clients.

5* Infrastructure

Having moved our infrastructure and reseller business to Krystal I have to say their support and infrastructure is brilliant.

Servers are very fast and well optimised and the support they offer is amazing very fast responses and helpful staff.

Highly recommended!

There was a mix up with the new owner of a domain name transferred away from Krystal.

I had auto renew set on my account. It was renewed and abolut the same time it was transferred. 11 days later the new owner paid a renewal fee via the new host. I did not know it was possible for 2 distinct hosting companies to be able to pay the renewal for the same domain name. After several emails between myself and the new owner it concluded with Krystal giving me a refund, even though they did not need to. For that I am very grateful.

I have been with Krystal for several years now and the main reason that I have remained loyal is because of the (free) online support that's provided.

They never fail to sort whatever problem that I have and always quickly and without fuss.

I have no idea if Krystal are the cheapest on the market but they're certainly the best that I have ever dealt with.

Above and beyond

I made an enquiry about the problems I was incurring on my website and whether by backing up from a previous backup would be likely to resolve the problem. The engineer went above and beyond what I had expected and gave me a better solution than I was expecting and even acted upon what he had told me and the problems with my website were sorted.

Great pricing, fantastic support

The package provided by Krystal is far better value for money than previous hosting company. I have two wesites and a dozen mailboxes but the support to transfer them all was superb. I'd recommend them whole heartedly.
