Orem, UT NetHosting, a leading provider of Cloud, Dedicated Server, VPS Server, and Virtual Hosting solutions since 1994, has recently announced that its lineup of premier hosting products will fully support the newest edition of the CentOS operating system, CentOS 6, which is scheduled to make its official debut on the Fourth of July.

Estimations concerning the release date of the long-awaited upgrade have circulated through tech forums since late 2010 after the release of Red Hat’s RHEL 6 operating system, also supported by NetHosting. As a free, Enterprise-class Linux Distribution, CentOS is a highly sought after product with a massive community of developers, system and network administrators, and other Linux enthusiasts worldwide.

“Because CentOS is an open source service, the Fourth of July, as a celebration of liberty, seems to be an appropriate release date for version 6,” joked Mr. Lane Livingston, NetHosting’s CEO. “We’re pleased to support an operating system that is made freely available to the public through a devoted network of knowledgeable professionals. We understand that kind of dedication here at NetHosting.”

Other systems supported by NetHosting’s hosting products include Fedora, FreeBSD, Ubuntu, Debian, DirectAdmin, cPanel, and Windows.
