Year-In-Review
Welcome to the first CrystalTech newsletter for 2007, and we hope everyone had a great holiday season. With the New Year begun, we wanted to take a look back at some of the newsworthy events of ’06:

• February - Linux Dedicated Servers
  We launched our Linux Dedicated Servers, ideal for the core Linux user. Along with the ability to install any software, each server comes with a wide range of preinstalled software, including CentOS, Apache, PHP, MySQL and more.
• February - Memory Increases
  We also began offering dedicated customers the ability to increase the amount of RAM in their servers early in the year thereby allowing the server to grow with the business needs of the customer.
• February - SmarterMail Upgrades
  We started updating our shared mail servers to SmarterMail 3.0. Version 4.0, which includes an added emphasis on anti-spam measures, has been officially released, and we will begin the process of upgrading our mail servers in the near future.
• March - Website Redesign
  We launched new user-friendlier versions of the CrystalTech website – two major revisions of the website has to be some kind of CrystalTech record.
• June - Microsoft Partnership
  We achieved Certified Partner status and Advanced Infrastructure Competency with Microsoft due to our high degree of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies.
• July - 80,000+ Milestone
  We reached another important milestone in our company’s history as CrystalTech passed the 80,000 hosted domain mark.
• July - ColdFusion Update
  We also updated our shared ColdFusion servers to version 7.0.2 which added Adobe Flex 2, a framework for easily building rich internet applications.
• August - SAS 70 Completion
  Through a comprehensive third-party audit of the various control activities we utilize for our hosting and related processes, we passed a SAS 70 Type I audit in late summer. We plan on receiving, and passing, a SAS 70 Type II certification in 2007.
• September - Integral Partnership
  We formed a new partnership with Intergral to utilize FusionReactor™, advanced software that has helped us increase application availability and reduce response times on our shared ColdFusion servers. An added benefit of that partnership is that customers can purchase Intergral ColdFusion management applications at a discounted rate.
• September - Open Source Sponsorships
  We started official sponsorships with DotNetNuke and CentOS, displaying our continuous support to the open source community. We plan on achieving Platinum Level sponsorship with DotNetNuke early next month.
• WebControlCenter: Past, Present and Beyond
  Throughout the year, we added new tools to our WebControlCenter, including the ability to transfer existing domains names to our registrar. As the WebControlCenter was created, developed and is managed in-house, we have many other exciting changes in store for ’07, including the ability to backup and restore your Microsoft SQL 2000 and/or SQL 2005 databases – stay tuned!

And peering into the crystal ball, CrystalTech has some impressive new offerings planned for 2007 as we strive to match all of your hosting needs. Along with more Semi-Dedicated plans, including larger allocations and plans for ColdFusion MX users, we will be offering VPS hosting along with other enhancements and additions throughout the year as well.

As always, stay tuned for product announcements right here in this newsletter, and we hope 2007 is a successful year for all of our customers!
