Our premium web hosting takes the same approach as all of our services; build the highest quality service you can, charge fairly for it, and you'll be successful. You don't need to chase profit, as it'll follow naturally from a popular product.
In that vein we decided we'd take the winning formula that is our shared web hosting and make two changes. Firstly, we restrict the number of sites that we'll put on the same specification server to 30. This results in a low contention ratio, which supports video streaming, more intensive database use and “flash” traffic. Secondly, out of hours mobile phone support is included in case of emergency.
The result? An incredibly fast and under-loaded service which gives you access to technicians in the event of an emergency.
Our premium web hosting plans are well suited to popular/high volume websites and businesses that desire the security of knowing they can get hold of someone should the need arise but for whatever reason can't yet make the move to their own dedicated servers.
Our hosting is fully featured out of the box, no need to pay for "extras"
When you join Krystal we provide you with all the tools you need to run a successful website from the get go, there are no "extras". We give you a blank, secure, stable & supported environment from which you can run your website. All the technicalities are taken care of for you, so you can focus your time and energy where it matters.
Control - you're in charge with cPanel
cPanel is the worlds most beloved control panel, and with good reason; it gives you unrivaled control over your hosting plan, simply.

On demand Video Streaming
If you're looking to stream video, then you'll need use one of our Premium Hosting Plans. The most common way of doing this is embedding your movie into a flash file, or using flash to stream your movie from your webspace. Our Premium Servers have 15k RPM SAS hard drives in a RAID 5 configuration which ensures that video will stream without delay.
Above is an example video streamed from our server. It is encoded at 700kb/sec - so if you have less than a 2mb internet connection you may have to wait for it to load!
