Hi Steve.

cheers,

Mo.

Hi M o,

Never heard of them.  Is it shared hosting, or VPS they sell or both?

All the best

Hi.

That was probably a .htaccess issue. Configurations for .htaccess can vary from 
host to host. You also need to check the permissions of your files and folders. 
This can happen with any web host and has tripped me up a fair few times. 
Whenever i've double checked it's always turned out to be either permissions or 
the way .htaccess is configured. You would also need to check the settings file 
for your CMS/Website as sometimes cookie domains are generated and end up no 
longer being valid. I'm not saying Krystal were at fault, but it's unlikely. 
They are the only host I've come across who automatically update your software 
for you either to minor versions, or to any new version depending on your 
settings if you install the app first using installatron. SSL encryption which 
would normally cost a company loads comes as standard and SSH is also enabled.
finally, backups are included and you can schedule them as often as you like. 
You don't get the above with the smaller players. just a few reasons why I went 
with them.

cheers,

Mo.

Hello,

The client I was working with had a medium-sized website, which he was
able to successfully unpack onto his new directory following the
backup. Upon opening the new domaine however the website simply loaded
http403 forbidden warnings.

Hi James.

I'm curious, what aspects did you find difficult about migration from
Krystal? surely all you'd need to do is generate a full CPanel backup
if you wish to close your account? In my experience, web hosts don't
generally make it easy for customers. that's why I tend to use
scripts like xcloner or built in tools in CMS platforms to generate
my own backups and migrate to the new host manually. It may seem
cumbersome but i'd rather be sure I've not missed anything relying on
an automated migration tool. I do the same for mailboxes, recreate
them on the new host and migrate data manually where possible.
Obviously if there are hundreds of mailboxes it's not practical to migrate 
manually.

Thank you for that review and the offer, however I would prefer to
go with one of the larger companies out there, as Mo was saying.
I’m definitely not saying your services will, but I wouldn’t like
to find myself in the position, a few years down the line, where a
small hosting company just vanishes with no warning.

I've just tried to arrange migrations from their platform, and
let's just say that if you want to leave them at any point they

What sort of space/bandwidth does this charity need? I provide

Browser, screen reader etc. Because with NVDA and VO, I can’t

screen reader can’t see it.

Hi Luke.

The trick is to save your payment method to your account first.
After
doing that, click on checkout. then go to the top of the page
and tab in to the various edit boxes. You won't be able to
review your cart at this point, but if you tab to the confirm
order button and click it the order should process. It's a bit
tricky but is doable. Initial setup may require a small amount
of sighted help just to make sure everything's in the right
place. You may also be able to pay them via PayPal or bank
transfer.

cheers,

Mo.

Hi all

Has anybody used Krystal for their web hosting or domain
registrar?
If
so, was just wondering how you got around the tricky payments
part of their website.
