Phoenix, Arizona, May 7th, 2007 -- CrystalTech Web Hosting™, a Newtek Business Services™ company (NASDAQ: NEWT) and a leading provider of shared and dedicated Windows web hosting, recently launched a hosting plan based on Microsoft’s latest web server platform that offers integrated control panel management.

CrystalTech is one of a select few official beta participants for Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS7) and the only host offering control panel integration. By working closely with Microsoft IIS7 Product Team members, as well as other Microsoft industry partners, to integrate this new server technology into its infrastructure, CrystalTech is already able to offer end-users IIS7 management tools within its WebControlCenter®, the host’s proprietary control panel.

IIS7, Microsoft’s most powerful web server to date, delivers a unified platform for web publishing that tightly integrates IIS and ASP.NET and includes other new capabilities, such as a modular architecture, improved administration tools and powerful diagnostic capabilities, that offers a superior level of security, reliability and functionality.

“This IIS7 plan displays CrystalTech’s commitment in not only providing our customers with the newest technologies, but offering them with a level of quality and service that is unmatched in the hosting industry,” said Robert Cichon, CrystalTech’s President. “Since we have already integrated IIS7 into our infrastructure and made it accessible in our control panel, our customers can completely focus on developing new websites with this exciting next-generation technology.”

CrystalTech’s beta hosting plan, which is available for free to everyone at http://www.crystaltech.com/iisbeta.aspx, includes 200MB of disk space, 30MB SQL Server 2005 space and 5MB of monthly transfer. .
