Krystal Hosting named UK’s Best Hosted Service

Joomla! Website Design Coaching Support Warrington Cheshire Manchester Merseyside UKIt was great to read in the latest monthly newsletter from our hosting provider that in late November they won the Internet Services Providers’ Association (ISPA) “Best Hosted Service” Award for the second time!

The ISPA Awards are the longest-running and perhaps the most prestigious awards in the industry.

Krystal Hosting stated "it’s great to achieve this recognition (again!) for both our quality and style of doing business. I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to colleagues who work hard year-round to make us the best at what we do."

We would like to second that.

Reason: we have received fantastic support from Krystal Technical and Sales Support Teams over the past few years.

Krystal Support is so good that we recently renewed our subscription for another three years!

Well done everyone at Krystal Hosting :)
