*📜 Plan description
Ruby steps up for freelancers/pros with 5 hosted sites, 25 GB NVMe storage, unlimited bandwidth/mailboxes/databases, daily backups, and a free domain for the life of the plan. Account resources increase to 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, and 50 processes; email throughput rises to 1,000 msgs/hour. The stack matches Amethyst (LiteSpeed + CloudLinux on enterprise Dell cloud) with the same security hardening and DDoS capacity. One-click installers, SSH/SFTP/WebDAV, and remote MySQL access are included. Support channels remain tickets, live chat, email and weekday phone support. Ideal for portfolios, small client sites and staging+production splits without moving to a VPS.
Shared/business hosting common block: UK-based platforms with 60-day money-back and 99.99% uptime target; cPanel, free SSL, malware scanning, firewalls and CloudLinux isolation by default; 2,000 Gbps DDoS protection, daily snapshots (4-hourly from Emerald), and smooth migrations. PCI-scan compliance and ISO 27001 appear from Emerald upward. Emergency phone support becomes available on larger tiers. Prices are VAT-inclusive on the public cards; pay monthly/annually/biennially by card, PayPal or bank transfer.

📄 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.

😠 Avoid krystal like the plague
Moved my site from bestwebhosting (which is krystal owned) without my consent to a unserviceable / broken krystal account. Tried to move it back when I shouted (so they could then move it to the krystal account I opened and paid for) and made matters worse. Now site down, which they claimed was up around the globe until I provided evidence it was down. Bad attitude and incompetence combined.
Now it has gone back from being somehow suspended to a security risk (browser alerted). What a joke. Total amateurs.
Now it is suspended again.
Now it is a security risk again.
Now my support chat window was closed on me.
All of this no doubt ruining my Google and Bing rankings, as well as losing me business I can not afford to lose.
Mr. Blackler, get it working now, refund my £, pay me compensation, and give me a free month of working site please so I can move to someone else who knows what they are doing.
They have now moved me back to bestwebhosting but I continue to get issues with emails. Had to add forwarders for several active email addresses to ensure I get them.
This has all completely screwed up my day. LUCKILY I was around else krystal "support" would no doubt be patting themselves on their backs saying "what a great job we did again" "look it is working great" while my site, moved without my consent to a non working account, would be toast.
