July 23, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web host CrystalTech (http://www.crystaltech.com) has entered the Virtual Private Server (VPS) market by offering Microsoft’s Hyper-V, it was announced recently. The company, a component of Newtek Technology Services (a Newtek Business Services, Inc. company - http://www.newtekbusinessservices.com) will utilize Microsoft’s latest virtualization platform to a “scalable, reliable, and tightly integrated virtualization platform within the Microsoft Windows environment”. CrystalTech is currently taking pre-orders for its new option.
“As one of the first web hosts to offer Microsoft Windows Server 2008 earlier this year, CrystalTech has had the opportunity to test Hyper-V in a dedicated environment for several months now,” explained Newtek Technology Services’ President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Robert Cichon. “The fact that we are able to provide a VPS solution so quickly after Hyper-V was released to the market illustrates our commitment to offering the latest cutting-edge technologies to our customer base.”
“As a middle ground between shared and dedicated services, the appeal and demand for virtual private servers is growing among businesses and developers who require more control over their web environments, but don’t necessarily need the entire resources of a dedicated server,” added Mr. Cichon.
Established in 1997, CrystalTech provides shared and dedicated hosting options alongside its new VPS hosting options. The company has customers in over 100 countries, ranging from small businesses to Fortune 100 corporations. Its other services include off-site data backup, storage and retrieval solutions.
Newtek Business Services, Inc. is a direct distributor of a wide range of business services and financial products to the small- to medium-sized business market under the Newtek™ brand.
