*📜 Plan description

Performance Max is the top tier semi dedicated hosting plan and is intended for mission critical websites and applications that demand very high resource allocations while remaining on a managed shared platform. Storage increases to 200 GB of SSD space and the plan continues to support an unlimited number of hosted sites and domains, unlimited email accounts and very large mailboxes so complex organisations or agencies can consolidate many projects. MySQL capacity scales to unlimited databases with up to about 4 GB per database, giving enough headroom for large transactional stores, forums or heavily used customer portals. This tier is rated for around 2000000 monthly dynamic page loads and is backed by 5 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, a 5x resource boost and the highest disk IO speeds in the range, providing the closest experience to a dedicated server while still using a shared infrastructure. As with the Pro tier you get LiteSpeed web server, Redis and Memcached object caches and ElasticSearch, which together can greatly improve search and filtering performance for compatible applications. Backup coverage is further enhanced with daily full backups and MySQL backups taken as often as every 4 hours, reducing potential data loss windows for busy databases. Unlimited bandwidth, free SSL for all domains, advanced spam and virus filtering, SSH and SFTP access, cron jobs, detailed statistics and the full cPanel management environment are standard, and you can still claim one free domain registration or transfer when committing annually or longer. The Plan Price of 72.22 represents the lowest effective monthly rate when paying for three years in advance excluding VAT, while you may also subscribe at 99.99 GBP per month, 999.90 GBP per year, 1999.80 GBP every two years or 2599.74 GBP every three years, with all published prices shown before VAT which is calculated based on your location.

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).
