CentOS WEB PANEL

Best freeware opensource hosting panel for CentOS/Redhat/CloudLinux.

Note:-

CWP only supports static IP.  It is best freeware opensource hosting panel for CentOS/Redhat/CloudLinux.

1. Setup Hostname
   This hostname cannot be the same as any domain that is on your server (for example, if linuxjust4u.com is a domain on your server, use hostname.example.com as your fully qualified hostname).

You can use the following command for hostname setup eg. host1.linuxjust4u.com

hostname host1.linuxjust4u.com

2. Software Requirements
   You must have a clean/fresh installation of supported operating systems:
   CentOS 6, RedHat 6 or CloudLinux 6, MINIMAL installation and English version only!
   CentOS 7 is also supported, we recommend minimal version.
3. Hardware Requirements
   32 bit operating systems require a minimum of 512 MB RAM
   64 bit operating systems require a minimum of 1024 MB RAM (recommended)
