Phoenix, AZ, July 25, 2006 - CrystalTech Web Hosting Inc, a subsidiary of Newtek Business Services (NASDAQ: NEWT) and a leading provider of Windows and Linux based web hosting, announced the launch of two new sales promotions that provides customers significant savings on dedicated hosting.

Customers also receive up to $600 worth of software absolutely free with any dedicated plan purchase.

“With our industry-level hardware, competitive prices and pre-loaded with business ready free software, CrystalTech’s dedicated plans have always been one of the best values in the hosting industry,” said Robert Cichon, CrystalTech’s President. “And now when you utilize one of these prepayment options, you can have your own enterprise-level dedicated server with our renowned service and support at remarkable savings.”
