Offer an ideal solution for businesses and developers who require administrative control and a dedicated-like environment.

CrystalTech Web Hosting, a Newtek Business Services company and a provider of Windows Web hosting, today announced that Virtual Private Servers, powered by Microsoft's hypervisor-based virtualization platform, Hyper-V, are now available for purchase.

In July, the company had made Hyper-V powered VPS plans available for pre-order in anticipation of today's official release, and is now one of the hosting providers to offer virtual private servers powered by Microsoft's Hyper-V. Hyper-V is a key feature of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and provides a scalable, reliable, and tightly integrated virtualization platform within the Windows environment.

"Our virtual private servers not only offer an ideal environment for businesses and developers who require administrative control and a dedicated-like environment, but one of the most affordable hosting solutions available that features Microsoft's highly acclaimed new server OS, Windows Server 2008," said Robert Cichon, president and chief operating officer of Newtek Technology Services. "This is yet another example of our commitment to offering the very best and latest in hosting services to our customers."

"We received a lot of interest after we announced our Hyper-V pre-release last month," added Cichon. "This is due to the fact that our virtual private servers provide the ideal middle ground environment between shared and dedicated hosting, offering dedicated-like control without the dedicated price."
