IN THIS ISSUE:
- Linux Dedicated Hosting

Linux Dedicated Hosting
The need to look outside of CrystalTech for Linux hosting no longer exists. The
CrystalTech Linux Dedicated Plan is ideal for the core Linux user. You can use the
included SSH interface to configure a strong Linux online presence by plugging in
your favorite applications.
Starting on February 1st, we will begin offering our Linux Dedicated Hosting Plan.
This plan will feature a base price of $69.95 per month and include:
- 2.26GHz Celeron processor
- 80GB IDE hard drive
- 512MB of PC2100 DDR memory
- 250GB of bandwidth each month.
Along with the ability to install any software, the server will come with a wide
range of software preinstalled, including:
- Linux CentOS-4 level 3 (Shell Interface)
- Apache 2.0.52
- PHP 4.3.9-3.9
- MySQL 4.1.12
- PostgreSQL 7.4.8
- Cryus Mail Server (POP3, IMAP)
- Sendmail (SMTP) and IMP (IMAP Based web mail)
The size and stability of our network has allowed us to integrate these Linux servers
on their own segments having no effect on our Windows-based customers. While we
are not moving away from our core Windows competency, the Linux Dedicated Plan is
another step in our continuous efforts to provide hosting for almost any environment
possible.
Upgraded RAM for Dedicated Plans
All dedicated customers will soon have the ability to increase the amount of memory
in your server. This additional RAM option can be added to any existing or new Dedicated
Plan at the competitive cost of $25 per gigabyte per month.
While our Dedicated Plans remain competitive in the industry, we have added this
additional RAM option to better match our customers’ current and future needs. Dedicated
customers will receive an email with details on ordering as soon as we make this
option available.
SQL Server Workgroup
For our dedicated customers utilizing our shared SQL servers, we wanted to remind
you that we offer economical-priced monthly licenses for SQL Server Workgroup Edition
2000 and 2005. This option provides an ideal solution for those wanting to avoid
paying for storage overages, remove the limitations that are required in a shared
environment or utilize SQL directly on their server for a higher level of performance.
SQL Workgroup includes all of the core database features found in the Standard Edition,
allowing you to manage any number of databases with no limits on size or number
of users. For a complete list of features provided in SQL Workgroup, please see
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx.
SQL Workgroup is only $75 per month for customers on single CPU servers or $150
per month for those on Dual Xeon servers. The software can be added by emailing
support@crystaltech.com with your Customer ID and the name of your server.
