The cloud platform built for speed, security and control.

A public cloud hosting platform with powerful hardware, self-healing storage and a 100G backbone network with DDoS protection included as standard. Deploy Virtual Machines, attach GPUs, add storage and configure networking across multiple data centres. Pay by the second, only pay for what you use, cancel any time.

What you get from this cloud platform

Imagine an instantly loading and clean looking client area that makes the simple tasks simple. Not seen that before? Neither had we, so we built it.

Compute

Packages for every workload, with up to 960GB RAM and Nvidia T4 and L4 GPUs available on demand. Deploy the latest versions of Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Alma Linux and Fedora in under 60 seconds.

Storage

Self-healing Block Storage keeps three copies of your data across the cluster at all times. If a server fails, your data is already replicated and your VM recovers immediately. File Storage, S3-compatible Object Storage, Offsite Backups and a Container Registry are also available.

Networking

100G backbone with multiple redundant paths in and out of every data centre. Firewall rules protect incoming and outgoing traffic. DNS runs on a global anycast network. DDoS protection and inbound transfer are included. Each VM includes 1TB of external transfer.

The Krystal Cloud console

Designed to be easy to use and fast to work with. Deploy a VM, review real-time spend, check performance metrics or manage DNS zones from one place.

  • Billing by the second

    Compute resources are billed by the second. Storage is billed per gigabyte. You only pay for what you use, and you can cancel at any time. The console shows your current usage and real-time spend, with full cost breakdowns across every resource.

  • Performance and network metrics

    CPU, network and disk activity are displayed with up-to-the-minute graphs on every Virtual Machine.

  • Multi-user and multi-organisation support

    Manage access across multiple organisations from a single login, control permissions per team member and enforce two-factor authentication with YubiKey or OTP.

  • API and Terraform

    Automate deployments and manage infrastructure as code through the Krystal Cloud API or the Terraform provider.

What you can run on this cloud platform

Krystal Cloud runs Linux virtual machines. What you build on them is up to you. These are some of the ways small to medium-sized businesses use the platform.

Web applications and SaaS

Host your web applications, APIs and SaaS products on infrastructure you control. Scale compute up or down as your traffic changes and only pay for the seconds you use.

Ecommerce and CMS platforms

Run WooCommerce, Magento, Shopify headless storefronts or any custom CMS on high-performance VMs with fast storage and DDoS protection included.

Development, staging and CI/CD

Spin up dev and staging environments in seconds. Run automated build pipelines and tear them down when you’re done. Billing by the second means you’re not paying for idle VMs.

Databases and data processing

Run MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis or any database engine. Memory Optimised packages give you up to 960GB of RAM for large in-memory workloads.

Client hosting for agencies and resellers

Manage multiple client environments from one account. Private networks keep client infrastructure isolated, and per-second billing means you can pass on fair, usage-based pricing.

Machine learning and GPU workloads

Attach Nvidia T4 or L4 GPUs to any VM on demand. Train models, run inference or process media, then detach the GPU when the job is done.
