What is IceHrm?
IceHrm is a Human resource management system for small and medium sized organizations. It covers all the basic HRM needs of a company such as leave management, time management and handling employee information.
Speed starts with storage. We use enterprise NVMe SSD - highly available, fault-tolerant and far faster than legacy SATA or stand-alone SSD. Pair that with the LiteSpeed web server, PHP 8 and HTTP/3, and your site flies.

Plans & getting started
Can you move my existing website to Kualo for free?
Yes. If your current host is letting you down, our migration team will move your existing sites across for you free of charge, carefully and with zero downtime. Just open a ticket after signing up and we'll take care of the heavy lifting. For complex or e-commerce sites there's also a hands-on paid VIP managed migration. Learn more about migrations.
Which plan is right for me?
For most personal and small-business sites, Solo or Startup is plenty. If you run a busy site or an online store, or you want server-side Redis and Memcached caching and more frequent database backups, choose one of the Performance plans - they add up to five CPU cores and 8GB RAM. Not sure? Tell us about your site and we'll point you the right way.
How many websites can I host?
The Solo plan hosts a single website, while Startup and Performance let you host unlimited websites within one account using cPanel's addon domain feature. That's ideal if the sites are all your own. If you want to host sites for third-party clients, take a look at our reseller plans instead.
How quickly is my account set up?
Instantly. Your account is provisioned the moment your payment clears, and a welcome email with everything you need to get started lands within a few minutes.
Where are your servers based?
You choose at checkout between our UK facility in East London and our US facility in Tampa, Florida. Both deliver excellent speeds worldwide, but for the best performance pick the one closest to most of your visitors - and you can add a CDN to speed things up globally.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan later?
Yes, any time. You can move up or down between plans from your client area, and we'll pro-rata the difference. As your site grows you can also move on to a Cloud VPS or dedicated server without any downtime.
Building your site
Can I install WordPress and other apps easily?
Absolutely. Our free Softaculous installer lets you set up WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento and over 200 other apps in a single click, with no technical know-how needed. You can also back up, upgrade and clone installs from your control panel. Prefer to build by hand? The free ProSite drag-and-drop builder is included too.
Do you properly support WordPress?
WordPress is our speciality. Every account includes WP Toolkit - one-click installs, one-click staging, Smart Updates (which test plugin and theme updates on a clone before they go live), a vulnerability scanner and one-click hardening. You can even let our AI Starter Sites wizard build a complete WordPress site for you from a few quick questions.
Does it come with a control panel?
Yes - every plan includes cPanel, the world's most popular hosting control panel, so your sites, email, databases, backups and security are all a click away. Take the tour.
Which PHP versions can I run?
A wide range, switchable yourself with PHP Selector - and different sites in the same account can run different versions, with control over settings like memory limit and execution time. We also back-port security patches to older, end-of-life PHP versions, so legacy apps stay safe (something very few hosts do).
Can I run Node.js, Python or Ruby?
Yes. Run Node.js via the Node.js Selector in cPanel (or manage versions with NVM on the command line), alongside Perl, Python and Ruby. Free SSH access is included on every plan - just ask support to switch it on.
Can I create a staging site?
Yes. WordPress users get one-click staging from WP Toolkit, and Softaculous includes staging for most other supported apps. You can also spin up a subdomain as a manual test environment for anything.
Can I sell hosting to my own clients?
Our multi-site plans share a single cPanel login, so they're for hosting your own sites, not reselling to third parties. If you want to host for clients, our reseller plans are built for exactly that.
Can I get root access or Windows hosting?
Shared plans don't include root access - if you need it, a Cloud VPS or dedicated server is the way to go. We're Linux-only (no Windows hosting), but you can manage everything happily from a Windows, Mac or Linux computer.
Email
Do you offer email with my hosting?
Yes. Every plan includes mailboxes on your own domain (10 on Solo, 100 on Startup, unlimited on Performance), with enterprise spam and virus filtering, webmail, forwarders and auto-responders. You can also add our professional Zimbra email for advanced collaboration.
Are there email sending limits?
Yes - every plan has an hourly outbound limit (set out in our resource usage policy) to protect deliverability and the shared platform. For newsletters or high-volume transactional email we recommend pairing a dedicated SMTP service such as SendGrid, Mailgun or Postmark, which bypass the limit entirely.
Speed & performance
How fast is your hosting?
Very. We use enterprise NVMe SSD storage delivering over 150,000 IOPS, the LiteSpeed web server with LSCache, PHP 8 and HTTP/3. Our Performance plan adds Redis and Memcached caching for compatible apps, plus you can layer Cloudflare's free CDN on top to speed up visitors worldwide.
Can I use a CDN?
Absolutely. Cloudflare's free tier covers most sites and is set up by pointing your nameservers at them. We also partner with quic.cloud - purpose-built for LiteSpeed and WordPress - giving Kualo customers enhanced limits including 20GB a month free.
Do you support OpenSearch?
Yes, on Performance Plus and above. OpenSearch powers fast, faceted search for Magento, WordPress (via plugins) and custom apps - and very few shared hosts offer it.
What happens if I get a sudden traffic spike?
Use Resource Boost - free on every plan. Straight from cPanel you can scale up your CPU, RAM, I/O and inode capacity for up to 72 hours a month at no extra cost, perfect for a viral post, a flash sale or a big import.
Do you offer “unlimited” space?
No - and on purpose. “Unlimited” usually means cheap disks on overcrowded servers with hidden catches. We give you a clear, honest NVMe SSD allocation (in RAID for redundancy) with no surprises - and since over 95% of sites use under 10GB, our plans are usually more than enough.
What uptime can I expect?
We back our hosting with a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and our network is independently monitored around the clock. Our infrastructure uses redundant, fault-tolerant hardware across enterprise data centres so your site stays online.
Security & backups
Is SSL included, and how is my site kept secure?
Every site gets unlimited free SSL certificates via Let's Encrypt, auto-installed and auto-renewed. Security is layered: CageFS isolates your account from every other on the server, Imunify360 is an AI-powered firewall, Patchman automatically patches CMS vulnerabilities, and your files are scanned for malware in real time - with two-factor authentication on your account too. Read about our security.
What backups do you take?
We take a daily backup of your whole account and keep 30 days of history. Performance plans add more frequent database-only backups for very recent restore points. You can self-restore individual files, databases, email accounts or the whole account from your control panel, and our team is happy to help with restoration on Startup and Performance plans.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. You can cancel within the first 60 days for a full refund of your hosting, no questions asked. There's no lock-in and no long-term contract, so you can leave whenever you like. Domain registration and transfer fees are non-refundable, but you keep the domain to use elsewhere.
Support
What support do you offer, and when?
Real, human support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via live chat and tickets, with a median first response of around two minutes. Our team are UK-trained hosting engineers, not outsourced scripts.
What does your support actually cover?
More than most. We'll happily help debug a PHP error, troubleshoot a CMS, or dig into why something isn't working - going well beyond the “that's your problem” server admin many hosts stop at. It's best-effort and not a substitute for your own developer on custom code, but if something's genuinely outside our scope we'll tell you honestly and point you the right way.
Can you build or design my website for me?
We don't offer design services - we'd rather do hosting brilliantly than compete with designers - but we make doing it yourself easy with AI Starter Sites, the free ProSite builder, WP Toolkit and 200+ one-click apps. Want a pro instead? Ask us and we can point you to people we trust.
Billing & domains
What billing cycles and payment methods do you offer?
Pay monthly, or prepay for one, two or three years to save - that's two, four or 10 months free respectively. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and PayPal; for monthly billing we recommend a card, as PayPal can't auto-renew.
Will my price increase at renewal?
We don't play the surprise-renewal game. Your price is clear up front, and we give you 30 days' notice before any renewal so there are never any nasty shocks. Prepay annually or for three years to lock in your savings for longer.
Do I get a free domain name?
Yes. When you buy hosting on an annual (12 month or longer) plan you can register a brand new .com, .net, .org, .co.uk or .org.uk domain, or transfer an existing one, free for the first year. It then renews at our regular rates.
Do I have to move my domain to you?
Not at all - you can host with us and keep your domain wherever it is. Our domain prices are very competitive if you'd like to bring it over, and every plan also lets you point unlimited parked and alias domains at your account.
Do you offer discounts for charities?
We do. Eligible registered charities can get our Solo plan free or half-price depending on size and circumstances, with up to 50% off across the wider range for larger requirements. See charity hosting.
Is your hosting really green?
Yes - our data centres have run on 100% renewable energy since 2019, and we're climate positive: our partnership with Ecologi has funded 86,000+ trees and offset 2,400+ tonnes of CO₂. Reducing our impact on the planet is engrained in our core principles. See our green credentials.
