Included free of charge.
Our web hosting is integrated with CloudFlare, which will dramatically increase the speed of your website for visitors worldwide. Since Kualo is an optimized CloudFlare partner, you also get their premium 'Railgun' acceleration technology free of charge - usually only available on their $200/mo plan!
Global CDN
Your static content, such as images, will be distributed across CloudFlare's network of over 100 datacenters worldwide. Wherever your visitors connect from - be it London, Sydney, L.A. or Johannesburg - your website will load with lightning speed.
Website Optimization
Visitors are impatient. Load times can't be slow. Performance is not just about moving static files closer to visitors, it is also about ensuring that every page renders as fast and efficiently as possible from whatever device a visitor is surfing from.
Security
The collective knowledge of 5 million websites powers a new kind of security. Online threats range from nuisances like comment spam and excessive bot crawling to malicious attacks like SQL injection and denial of service (DOS) attacks. Cloudflare provides protection against all of these types of threats and more to keep your website safe.

Our enterprise spam filter, powered by industry leaders SpamExperts, provides an average 99.98% email filtering accuracy with close to zero false positives. Time lost due to dealing with spam is reduced to an absolute minimum, allowing you to concentrate fully on your business tasks.
World's No.1 Control Panel
With cPanel, you can easily manage every aspect of your hosting account - add email accounts, manage your files, security, FTP, and control every aspect of your website.
Risk Free & Absolutely No Lock-In
60-Day Money Back Guarantee
If you change your mind and don't wish to continue your hosting contract, you may cancel at any time within the first 60 days and we'll give you your money back. If you transferred or registered a domain name, these fees are non-refundable, however you'll be able to continue to use them elsewhere if you wish.
No Lock-In. Leave any time.
We give some tasty discounts for those customers who want to pre-pay for longer periods. But we want you to stay because you love us, not because you're contracted to. If you decide you need to leave before your term expires, let us know and we'll simply deduct any discount originally applied and refund the balance.
Powered by 100% Renewable Energy
Green through and through.
As ephemeral as it all seems, it's easy to forget the real-world mechanics that go into keeping the Internet running. The equipment and servers behind the scenes make the internet a filthy, carbon emitting monster. With Kualo, you can rest assured that your slice of the net will be 100% powered by renewable energy.
What's more, we are committed to being a climate positive workforce. We plant trees and invest in certified carbon offsetting projects to ensure we remove more carbon than we consume. We are also committed to "paying back" the carbon we have consumed since we were founded, so that we may truly become carbon negative.
Unmatched Security & Stability
Full Account Isolation
Accounts are isolated with a caged file system that prevents privelege escalation and information disclosure attacks.
No Noisy Neighbors
Each customer is allocated it's own resource pool, meaning other users can't cause downtime or slow performance for your website.
Machine Learning Firewall
Multiple firewall layers featuring machine learning and collective intelligence keeps bots and hackers at bay.
Vulnerability & Malware Defense
We automatically patch vulnerabilities in a wide range of web applications and quarantine known malware, keeping your site and visitors safe.
Expert Support. 24 Hours A Day.
Dedicated Support Superheroes.
Our dedicated professionals work 24x7 to ensure that all our systems work seamlessly. When you need help, you can rely on our team of patient hosting gurus to go the extra mile to ensure you have every assistance you need. We call it 'support with love'.
