Also announces sweepstakes where customers who purchase CTssl certificates are eligible to win a 30GB Apple iPod.

CrystalTech Web Hosting, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newtek Business Services, Inc., and a provider of Windows-based web hosting, recently announced that it has released a new Certificate Management tool for its customers that automates the ordering and installation of SSL certificates.

The company says that customers can now use the Certificate Management tool, found within CrystalTech's proprietary Control Center to create and process Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs), place an order for a CTssl certificate, and install the certificates automatically once they are issued. Customers can also use the tool for installation of certificates other than CTssl.

As a part of the launch of the Certificate Management tool, CrystalTech is also running a sweepstakes until the end of the year. Any customer who buys a CTssl certificate before December 30th, 2005, will be entered in a draw to win a 30GB Video iPod.

Tim Uzzanti, President and CEO of CrystalTech says, "This will be the standard other companies will follow to provide their customers with an easy to use system for securing their websites. In addition, offering this tool to our customers once again proves that CrystalTech not only offers the best hosting in the industry, but the best features set as well."
