*📜 Plan description

Amethyst is the entry shared plan for a single site that still includes premium stack components: 10 GB NVMe storage, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited mailboxes and databases, daily snapshot backups, free 256-bit SSL, and standard phone support (weekdays 09:00–20:00). Platform resources are scoped for smaller sites (1 CPU core, 2 GB RAM, 25 processes). The plan runs on Krystal’s Dell cloud with dual CPUs, LiteSpeed caching and CloudLinux isolation; real-time malware/virus scanning, firewalls, 100 Gbps connectivity and 2,000 Gbps DDoS protection are included. Install 380+ apps (WordPress, Drupal, OpenCart etc.) from cPanel; SSH/SFTP/WebDAV and phpMyAdmin are available, with POP/IMAP/SMTP email and features like catch-all, aliases, mailing lists and 500 emails/hour send limit. Seamless migrations are offered from cPanel/Plesk/other hosts, and you can upgrade/downgrade at any time. Prices on the page show “Include VAT”, so the figure is VAT-inclusive; Amethyst does not include a free domain.

All Krystal shared/business hosting plans are UK-based and come with a 60-day money-back guarantee and a published 99.99% uptime commitment. Common features include enterprise NVMe storage, cPanel control, free SSL via Let’s Encrypt, daily or 4-hourly backups (higher tiers), PCI-scan compliance from Emerald upward, ISO 27001 accreditation from Emerald upward, and award-winning UK support via tickets, live chat, email and phone; larger tiers also add 24x7 emergency phone support. Billing can be monthly/annually/biennially, and accepted payments include credit/debit cards, PayPal and bank transfer. Source pages list the features and limits and explicitly show “Include VAT.” (Shared hosting page and tables).

📄 Editorial Review

Krystal Host (recently simple Krystal) is a UK hosting company founded in 2002 by CEO Simon Blackler. Over two decades they have cultivated a strong reputation for reliability and ethics, frequently highlighted as a top-rated UK host on Trustpilot. They position themselves as the UK’s largest independent hosting provider and a certified B Corp, with a clear sustainability mission: run infrastructure on 100% renewable energy, extend hardware lifecycles, and operate with minimal environmental impact. They also support charity initiatives and advocate for a more transparent, customer-first hosting market.

Their product line is broad and cohesive. Domains cover popular TLDs with straightforward management and privacy. Shared (cPanel) hosting targets personal and small business sites with a performance-first stack (LiteSpeed Web Server, HTTP/3/QUIC, CloudLinux isolation, PHP OPCache) plus automated malware scanning and backups. Business hosting builds on that foundation with PCI-DSS compliance and higher-touch support, suitable for e-commerce and heavier workloads.

Reseller hosting delivers white-label cPanel/WHM with private nameservers and granular account controls. Managed WordPress runs on Krystal’s Onyx platform, bundling edge/CDN and caching with a 30-day free trial to validate performance before committing. A no-code Website Builder provides drag-and-drop publishing with >190 responsive templates. For users needing raw control, VPS plans are backed by NVMe storage, multi-transit connectivity, DDoS protection, and daily backups; clusters and load balancers are supported. Dedicated servers add managed enterprise hardware for consistently high performance. Rounding out the portfolio, Managed cloud & consulting (including Krystal’s own Katapult, AWS, and Azure) cover migration, DevOps, hybrid architectures, and ongoing optimisation. A simple, low-cost CDN offers quick global acceleration.

Underpinning much of this is Katapult.io, Krystal’s in-house cloud platform engineered with distributed storage (multiple NVMe replicas), redundant components, and an emphasis on durability and performance. The platform ethos is "technology without compromise": over-engineered for resilience, renewable-powered, and designed to keep workloads online even during component failures.
