In addition to our fan favorite cPanel-on-CentOS, we now offer a few non-Linux solutions. FreeBSD and OpenIndiana (essentially Solaris) are both now available. Please note that these systems are set up with developers in mind and offer little in the way of a control panel (meaning you won’t find cPanel there). You’ll need to be comfortable with doing most or all of your work via SSH.

For any developers who wish to move or create accounts under either of these systems, please contact support!

We are also able to set up simple accounts for code testing at no cost. As with all of our servers, a full development toolkit is available. For those of you using our Linux systems who simply wish to develop, but not serve content off of, our BSD/OpenIndiana systems, simply SSH in and log in with your existing C9WS credentials. You will be able to operate with a regular shell environment, though inbound network access is disabled.

PHP 4 has had a good, long run, but it’s become such a security and maintenance problem to keep, that we’ve decided that it’s time to move on. Pretty much all web applications have moved to PHP 5.2 (if not PHP 5.3!), and we don’t think many people will be affected by this change. If you’ve been using PHP 4, you should update your scripts, and change your cPanel setting to PHP 5. For advanced users who have been piping individual scripts to PHP 4, you should update your path from /usr/bin/legacy/php4 to /usr/bin/php. Thank you for your understanding.

You can download and install packages, modules, etc for PHP/Perl/Ruby.  In cPanel, just  look under “Software and Services.” It’s not that we don’t love getting your exceedingly well-written support requests, because we do. You just don’t really need us to do this, as you can yourself in a few clicks. (Just don’t contact Maria about it. She’s getting annoyed.) (That’s code for “contact Maria about it.”)
