Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 333 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the exceptional customer service, highlighting the helpfulness and responsiveness of the staff. Many people appreciate speaking to real humans who are patient, listen, and resolve problems quickly, often going above and beyond expectations. The service is frequently described as excellent, with fast response times for support tickets, sometimes within minutes, and efficient website migration processes. Reviewers also commend the company's website for being amazing and easy to use, with many plans and room for growth. However, some people were dissatisfied with specific aspects, such as reseller support not being suitable for WHM/WHMCS integration, leading to issues with automation. A few other people also felt that the customer verification process for buying hosting was overly intrusive, requiring personal documents like a selfie with a passport. There were also isolated instances of slow responses to tickets or unhelpful initial interactions with customer service, though these were often resolved promptly by other team members.

Outstanding Customer Service

I have been using Krystal for a few years now and I couldn't fault their service. Everything from the solutions they offer to the customer service and technical support is nothing short of outstanding.

I also want to give a shout-out to Jamie. On more than one occasion, he has has helped me to find solutions and gone beyond expectations. Very happy customer.

Krystal clear brilliance

I moved to Krystal after years with various other providers and I’m so glad I found them! Their offering is superb and I’m particularly impressed with the simplicity of Onyx for Managed Wordpress. Pricing may seem higher than other providers but you genuinely get what you pay and this is superior service.

The support team are phenomenal and the cherry on top. They’re friendly, informative and fast to respond which is all you can ask for! 10/10 would recommend time and time again.

Great support

Rapid support, really clear procedures and they do exactly what they say they do! It’s rare these days. I’ve moved all my website and domains here because the support is efficient and high quality. Highly recommend.

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.
