Semi-Dedicated Plans Return
We are proud to announce the return of our Semi-Dedicated hosting plans. Long-time CrystalTech customers will remember these plans from the past and we’ve brought them back, bigger and better than before!

For those of you wondering what we mean by ‘Semi-Dedicated’ hosting, it is ideal plan type for customers seeking an advanced level of website performance but don’t want to handle the management requirements of their own dedicated server. While still residing on a shared server with the full automation offered by our WebControlCenter™, these plans provide a more robust environment with a low number of sites per server.

Features include:

• 6,000MB Website Disk Store
• 800GB of Bandwidth
• 600 POP3/IMAP Email Accounts
• 2,000MB SQL 2000/2005 Storage
• 2,000MB MySQL Storage

For more details and to order your own Semi-Dedicated plan, please visit http://www.crystaltech.com/semidedi20.aspx. Existing Semi-Dedicated customers can change to this new plan for no charge. We are also planning on releasing a more robust .NET Plan as well as a ColdFusion MX Semi-Dedicated option in the very near future, so stayed tuned for details regarding that plan.

Holiday Promotions Continue
Don’t forget about our Holiday Sale which offers new and existing customers some huge savings! For new shared plans, you can receive three months for free and no setup with a three month prepay by ordering online and using promotion code. Good on plans priced $7.95/month and up.

For new dedicated plans, you can also get three months for free with absolutely no setup costs with a three month prepay when you use promotion code DED2006.

Managed Services Free Trial
For our dedicated customers, we wanted to provide you one last opportunity to try our Managed Services option for free until the end of the year.

This valuable option is highly recommended for customers who are too busy or don't want to handle the mundane, day-to-day tasks associated with the upkeep and maintenance of a dedicated server. It includes patch and fix management for the OS and preinstalled software, 24/7/365 monitoring and more. Read more about the service at http://www.crystaltech.com/popups/dmanagedsvcs.htm.

To have this option added to your server for free with no setup fees, login into the WebControlCenter. Under menu option Customer, select Ticket Management and submit a ticket to Support with MANAGED SERVICE FREE TRIAL in the subject line. You won't pay for the option until 2007 if you elect to continue the service at $50/month.

CrystalTech Forums
If you ever run into a dead end with a script, couldn’t get an application to function properly or were just looking for design help, we’ve got just the place for you.

Our public forums are very active and cover many informative topics regarding ASP, .NET, ColdFusion, PHP, Perl and database programming, application development, website design and much more.

If you are looking for answers or resolutions that other customers have already found, it’s a great place to start. Many customers and CT representatives participate on a fairly regular basis and we’re very proud of the sense of community that has developed there over the years.
