August 5, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – CrystalTech Web Hosting, the web hosting division of Newtek Technology Services, which is a Newtek Business Services, Inc. company (NASDAQ: NEWT), has announced that Virtual Private Servers (VPS), powered by Microsoft’s hypervisor-based virtualization platform, Hyper-V, are now available for purchase starting at $99.95. CrystalTech is a leading provider of Microsoft® Windows® web hosting.
In July, CrystalTech made Hyper-V powered VPS plans available for pre-order in anticipation of today’s official release, and is now one of the premier hosting providers to offer virtual private servers powered by Microsoft’s Hyper-V. Hyper-V is a key feature of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and provides a scalable, reliable, and tightly integrated virtualization platform within the Windows environment.
“Our virtual private servers not only offer an ideal environment for businesses and developers who require administrative control and a dedicated-like environment, but one of the most affordable hosting solutions available that features Microsoft’s highly acclaimed new server OS, Windows Server 2008,” said Robert Cichon, president and chief operating officer of Newtek Technology Services. “This is yet another example of our commitment to offering the very best and latest in hosting services to our customers.”
CrystalTech’s virtual private servers feature Windows Server 2008 and include large amounts of hard disk space, bandwidth, and guaranteed memory, with the ability to add additional managed options; including VPS managed services and nightly backups.
“We received a lot of interest after we announced our Hyper-V pre-release last month,” added Cichon. “This is due to the fact that our virtual private servers provide the ideal middle ground environment between shared and dedicated hosting, offering dedicated-like control without the dedicated price.”
