*📜 Plan description

Performance Plus targets larger sites and online stores that outgrow basic shared hosting and require more CPU, memory and storage headroom together with database acceleration. Storage is increased to 100 GB of SSD space and you can still host an unlimited number of separate sites using addon domains, with unlimited email accounts and higher per mailbox limits around 15 GB so multiple departments or large teams can be accommodated. Database capacity is effectively unlimited, with individual MySQL databases allowed up to about 2 GB each, which is suitable for growing catalogues or busy membership sites. The plan is rated for roughly 1250000 monthly page loads and is provisioned with 3 CPU cores, 3 GB RAM, a 3x resource boost and higher disk IO than the entry offerings, meaning more concurrent visitors can be served without contention. Beyond LiteSpeed web server caching and Redis and Memcached object caches, Performance Plus also enables ElasticSearch, which allows compatible applications and plugins to deliver very fast search and filtering across large data sets. Daily full backups are standard and MySQL backups are taken twice per day to reduce the recovery point objective for transactional data. All core features such as unlimited bandwidth, SSL certificates for every hosted domain, enterprise spam filtering, SSH and SFTP access, cron jobs, detailed statistics and control of DNS and web configuration via cPanel are present. When ordered for a year or longer you still receive one free domain registration or transfer. The Plan Price entry of 25.27 reflects the lowest effective monthly price on the three year term excluding VAT, while other options include 34.99 GBP per month on a monthly contract, 349.90 GBP per year, 699.80 GBP every two years and 909.74 GBP every three years, with all listed rates shown before VAT which is added where applicable.

All Kualo shared and business hosting plans share the same core environment, built on Linux servers managed through cPanel in either a United Kingdom or United States data centre that are powered by renewable energy. Every account includes unlimited bandwidth, a drag and drop ProSite website builder with many templates, over 400 one click install applications via Softaculous, Cloudflare integration with the Railgun performance option, daily backup snapshots with up to 30 historic revisions, and an enterprise spam filtering cluster to keep inboxes clean. Performance is tuned with modern software such as PHP 8, HTTP 3 and the LiteSpeed web server, with optional Redis and Memcached object caches and ElasticSearch for higher tier plans so database driven sites and stores can scale without complex tuning. Security is enhanced by multiple firewalls, malware scanning, automatic patching of common applications and full account isolation so noisy neighbours cannot impact your site. Uptime is backed by a 99.9 percent service level and a sixty day money back guarantee on hosting fees, giving you a long evaluation window with minimal risk. You can choose to place your account in the London or Tampa facility, both of which have redundant power and network feeds and strict physical security, and you have access to support by email, ticket, live chat and telephone around the clock if you need help.

📄 Editorial Review

Kualo (est. 2000) is an independent, long-running hosting company with more than two decades of history in the industry. Jo Stonehouse is the Founder and Managing Director at Kualo. They host over 100,000 websites for customers in more than 90 countries and position themselves as a performance-oriented, environmentally conscious provider. The company’s mission is to deliver fast, secure hosting "with a green heartbeat", combining modern infrastructure with a strong emphasis on sustainability and social responsibility, including a dedicated charity-hosting initiative that offers lifetime free hosting to qualifying non-profits.

Product line is broad and tightly integrated. At the entry level, they offer shared hosting plans aimed at personal sites, blogs and small business projects. These plans run on SSD storage, include email accounts, free SSL certificates, a drag-and-drop site builder, a one-click app installer (Softaculous) and daily backups with retention for 30 days. Shared hosting can also be purchased as WordPress-optimized hosting, where the same Solo, Startup and Performance plan structure is tuned for WordPress, with automatic vulnerability patching, managed migrations and performance features such as LiteSpeed Cache, Redis and Memcached on higher tiers.

For busier or more demanding websites, Kualo promotes its Business Hosting range as a semi-dedicated platform. These Performance-branded plans allocate dedicated CPU and RAM per account, turbo SSD storage and caching layers (LiteSpeed Cache, Redis, Memcached, ElasticSearch on higher tiers), making them suitable for high-traffic sites and online stores that have outgrown basic shared hosting but do not yet justify a full server.

Developers, agencies and entrepreneurs are targeted with Reseller Hosting. Reseller plans allow customers to host and manage multiple sites under their own brand using branded nameservers and a white-label control panel. Features here include free SSL on all hosted domains, a site builder, reseller-level backups with self-restore options, LiteSpeed caching on mid and top tiers, WordPress Toolkit, Redis/Memcached support on the higher plan, and bundled billing software plus exclusive reseller discounts on the top Agency package.

Above shared and reseller tiers, Kualo offers Cloud VPS, dedicated servers and complex managed hosting. Cloud VPS servers are marketed as highly scalable, self-healing virtual machines whose resources are spread across multiple physical nodes, providing redundancy and "faster-than-SSD" underlying storage. They can be ordered unmanaged, basic managed or fully managed, and are available either as cPanel Cloud VPS or as generic Linux VPS (CentOS, Red Hat, Ubuntu and other distributions). Dedicated servers are described as bare-metal machines built to spec, intended for workloads that require very high CPU, RAM or disk resources, or strict hardware isolation. Complex managed hosting is Kualo’s bespoke enterprise solution, where multi-server architectures can be designed with load balancing, database replication, caching layers and hybrid cloud/dedicated stacks, all fully managed with an assigned account manager and enterprise SLAs.

Complementing hosting and servers, Kualo acts as a domain registrar, offering registration and transfer for hundreds of TLDs, along with domain privacy protection, DNS control and a domain discount club. They also provide email services via Zimbra Enterprise Email (with shared calendars, tasks and document features) and email marketing tools for sending newsletters. On the security and reliability side, the catalogue includes SSL certificates, CodeGuard cloud backups, SiteLock malware scanning, DDoS protection, and a global Content Delivery Network to accelerate websites and applications.

A key part of their identity is green hosting. Kualo operates entirely on renewable energy, invests in energy-efficient data-center designs, and partners with Ecologi to plant trees and fund Gold Standard certified carbon-offset projects. They position this not as a marketing add-on, but as a core value, highlighting concrete metrics such as Power Usage Effectiveness (PuE) in their UK facility and publishing details about their power, cooling and connectivity stack.

Overall, Kualo comes across as a mature, feature-rich provider that tries to balance technical depth (performance, redundancy, security) with accessible tooling (cPanel, Softaculous, site builder) and a well-defined ethical stance (green operations and charity support).
