About us
Krystal is an ethical web hosting and cloud services company supporting, businesses all over the world. We started Krystal in 2002 with a mission to disrupt the web hosting industry and become a force for positive change. Today, we’re the largest independent web host in the UK. We’ve achieved this by making a promise to our clients: To always be honest, reliable and personal. This simple promise has defined us since the very beginning. From our clear and fair billing policy and award-winning in-house support, to our dedication to using 100% renewable energy, our commitment to doing the right thing makes us unique in our industry. Whether startup or enterprise, you’ll find everything you need to run a fast, secure and successful online presence at Krystal. We’ve always made a point of having as much control over the quality of our client experiences as possible, writing our own software and demanding only the highest standards. Our home-grown solutions include Onyx, the UK’s fastest Wordpress Hosting and Katapult, the UK’s answer to Public Clouds like AWS. Today we operate out of multiple datacentres in the UK, USA and in Amsterdam giving us a truly global reach and further optimising our services for our clients. And as with all things Krystal, we’ve insisted on only best-in-class hardware, cutting-edge security, and 100% renewable energy for our global locations. To preserve these standards, we’ve chosen Iron Mountain's purpose-built datacentres in New York and Phoenix to complement our London presence. You’ll also find some of the brightest minds and most passionate technologists in the industry here. If you’re interested in working with (or becoming a part of!) our highly skilled team, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Should you still be paying for SSL certificates? We don’t think so. From its rocky start to becoming a cornerstone of online security, SSL has evolved dramatically. Our latest blog post uncovers this journey and explains why Krystal includes SSL in every hosting plan—no hidden costs, no setup fuss, just secure and reliable hosting as standard. Discover why SSL should be a given for any serious hosting provider, and why we’re committed to making it that way. https://lnkd.in/eWVYjnHW

As Krystal turns 22 years old today, we have an exciting announcement! Our Founder Simon Blackler is stepping down and our COO David Kimberley has been promoted to Krystal CEO! Congratulations to Dave on his well-deserved promotion, and a huge THANK YOU to Simon for the last 22 incredible years! Check out Simon’s personal note and blog post below!
Krystal's the UK's only B Corp public cloud/hosting provider | 100% renewably powered | 4,299,165 trees planted and counting! | Born @ 344ppm CO2
🎂 Krystal turns 22 years old today! 🎁 We have a new CEO in the incredible David Kimberley ⛔ We haven't sold to the competition! And won't. Ever. After 22 years I've decided to step down from day-to-day operations to make way for rising talent. I'm supremely fortunate to have had the privilege to work alongside someone as capable, ethical and trustworthy as Dave these last 7 years and we've become good friends as well as colleagues. I'm genuinely delighted to hand over the reins to him and know that he's the perfect choice to take Krystal to the next level. I'll be staying on as a Director, and remain the primary shareholder with 94% of the company, the remaining 6% is still owned by the Blackler family. I'm (re)making 3 promises to clients and staff; 1) We won't sell out 2) Our quality and values will endure 3) Krystal will continue to innovate and have beneficial impact I've written more on our blog for those interested - >>https://lnkd.in/eDKmQTnQ<< And as for me, I'm going to continue my lifelong mission "to leave the planet better than I found it" with a new venture, launching next year. If you'd like to be among the first to know about it please add your email to the form at >> https://lnkd.in/eCxhAikr << (I'll only email you ONCE when ready to share, you're not joining a mailing list.) Finally, I'd like to share a massive THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to the nearly 100k clients we've had over the years. Without your support and patronage Krystal wouldn't have become the largest independent hosting company in the UK and couldn't have had the positive impact we've had. And we're just getting started. An exciting new chapter begins...

We’ve designed it that way because we know it’s best for you. But not all web hosts offer cloud-based hosting.
