WordPress Hosting

Every Krystal WordPress hosting plan allows you to apply a free SSL certificate to ALL websites you host with us. Your SSL can easily be activated via your cPanel control panel and enables your website to use https:// in the address bar; every SSL certificate issued is 100% individual and not shared with anyone else.

Benefits of an SSL certificate include:

• Allows the use of https:// in the address bar
• Ecommerce: Provide secure 256-bit transactions for customer data and credit card payments.
• SEO: Better search results as Google likes secure sites so an SSL certificate is essential for better search visibility.
• Conversions: Customers are more likely to trust & purchase from a secure site that uses HTTPS.

If you're a business you can also upgrade your SSL certificate to an Extended Verification (EV) SSL which comes with additional benefits and added protection.

Moving your WordPress website away from your existing host to our optimised cloud hosting platform is simple. Our WordPress migrations team will work with you to make the process as painless as possible and get your website moved over with minimum downtime.

Our migration process:

• Order a WordPress hosting plan.
• Let us know your existing cPanel/website login information.
