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.
