CrystalTech Web Hosting™, a Newtek Business Services™ company (NASDAQ: NEWT) and a leading provider of Windows Web hosting, announced today the release of ColdFusion 8 hosting plans.

The upgrade to ColdFusion 8 not only expands the features of CFMX 7, but also builds on the strong relationship between CrystalTech and the Adobe community. This also continues CrystalTech's support of the ColdFusion development and gives CrystalTech customers an effective way to deploy a ColdFusion site.

"CrystalTech has a well-respected reputation within the ColdFusion developer community for our advanced infrastructure, fast adoption and affordability," said Robert Cichon, President of CrystalTech. "We are very proud to offer our renowned support to developers and look forward to continuing our commitment to bringing the latest technology to our new and existing customer base."

This new version of ColdFusion adds new features for developers including interactive debugger, multi-threaded processing, Adobe Flex™ integration, .NET integration, strong encryption libraries, and provides administrator and RDS account sandboxing.

CrystalTech offers quick and effective ways to build and deploy powerful applications with this new version of ColdFusion on both shared and semi-dedicated hosting plans. "As soon as ColdFusion 8 was released, CrystalTech was able to test and fully integrate this version with our WebControlCenter to offer more administration tools than any other control panel," added Cichon. "We look forward to continuing this relationship and building on our respected status as a highly reliable ColdFusion host."
