Krystal Hosting UK renewal prices: what it costs after the intro term
Krystal Hosting does not discount its first term on the Amethyst plan in the United Kingdom. The advertised £7.00 a month is also the renewal price, so what you see is what you keep paying.
That is unusual in this market and it is worth knowing before you compare it with a host advertising a lower first-term price.
What the host publishes in the United Kingdom
Prices on this page are the figures the host publishes. Where the host publishes them excluding VAT, that is marked on the row and the figure is kept ex-VAT rather than grossed up, because the rate that applies depends on the buyer. VAT is not added to any total here.

What it costs once the introductory term is over
A hosting price has three parts that are almost never shown together: the invoice charged at signup, the cost of the months inside the period you are comparing, and the invoice that arrives when the introductory term ends. These are different numbers and the two tables below keep them apart.

Service cost and cash paid are not the same number. A 48-month offer compared over three years has 36 months of service cost but a four-year invoice already paid. We show both and never call either one the total. No domain renewal, migration or overage charge is added to either. The full method is at Method.
