Hi.

I don't use the reseller hosting personally as it's often more convenient for customers to have their own accounts.

cheers,

Mo.

Hi Mo,

Yes, found it, thanks.

Looking at the TrustPilot reviews, it seems that they are highly rated.

Do you use their reseller hosting Mo, and if so, is the reseller control panel 
accessible?

Thanks again, much appreciated.

All the best

Steve

the plans are a few headings down.

Just looked but I can't find pricing for their reseller package.  Looks good 
though, thanks.

Hi Steve.

They sell both as well as reseller. take a look at krystal.co.uk.

cheers,

Mo.

Hi M o,

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

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.

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.

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.

If
so, was just wondering how you got around the tricky
