While CrystalTech is well regarded for its Windows-based hosting, the company also realizes the need to offer some diversity in environment to accommodate the varied needs of its customer base.

PHOENIX, April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — CrystalTech Web Hosting Inc., a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: NKBS) and a leading provider of shared and dedicated web hosting, is pleased to announce the availability of its Linux Dedicated Hosting Plans.

While CrystalTech is well regarded for its Windows-based hosting, the company also realizes the need to offer some diversity in environment to accommodate the varied needs of its customer base. Additionally, the size
and stability of CrystalTech’s internal network has allowed the company to integrate the dedicated Linux servers on their own segments entirely, having no effect on current and future Windows-based customers.

“These Linux plans are an extension of the premier hosting CrystalTech is known for and displays the furthering of our scope of expertise,” said CrystalTech Chief Operating Officer Robert Cichon. “While our concentration
in the shared hosting market will remain strictly Windows only, moving into the Linux dedicated market is not a stretch for us. In fact, we have been working with Linux supporting some of our back-end systems for years.”

CrystalTech offers two Linux dedicated plans to meet a wide range of performance needs and budgetary requirements. Ideal for the core Linux user, each server comes with a wide range of software preinstalled
including the latest, most stable versions of CentOS, Apache, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Webmin along with Cyrus Mail Server, Sendmail and IMP.

Customers can use the included SSH interface to configure a strong Linux online presence by plugging in their favorite applications.

“I’m confident in this offering,” said Cichon. “We have invested our years of collective knowledge along with months of testing to ensure a high quality dedicated service. Along with our continued support of the Windows
environment, we are now able to offer well configured and reasonably priced plans to anyone seeking a stable Linux server.”
