you would need unpartitioned space on the drive to hold the centos partitions. you don't say what other OS you wish to dualboot with, so its hard to be more specific.

hosting and dual boot aren't exactly compatible, a webserver would typically be a server in a datacenter, with at least one static IP address, and it would be always on 24/7.
installing php and mysql is about as simple as...
# yum install mysql-server php php-mysql
and then configuring them per your application requirements.
that said, the rest of your question, re: searching for domains, is outside the scope of this channel, and better would be addressed on a web application development forum.

windows 7 defaults to creating a partition on the entire disk and leaving no free unpartitioned space. that leaves you with nowhere to install anything else.

that's not hard to fix with the gparted live CD. 1. boot windows, defrag the partition(s). 2. shut down windows. 3. boot gparted live 4. in my experience the "main" windows partition is nearest the end, so using gparted, shrink it enough to leave adequate space for Centos. I won't go into how to use gparted, it's not hard, so you can surely figure it out (I did!:) 5. boot windows and let it do its thing with "repairing" the disk. 6. run your Centos installer, being sure NOT to let it mess with your windows partition(s). 7. see my other note about how to get it to dual boot with windows.
Hi Fred sounds like you know what your doing for sure
this is my harddrive My C: Dive NTFS 1.13TB Used 45.74GB Unused 1.09 TB System Primary
do I need to to create two partitions one for the bootdual and the other for centos just asking that's all. if I wish to use 500 GB how do I put that into a volume mike

just make sure the installer doesn't touch your existing partitions... you can explicitly exclude them during the partitioning phase, then let it partition the empty space as it likes, or force it to do it your own way. You don't NEED a separate boot partition, but it's not a bad idea to use one.

- boot windows, defrag the partition(s).
problem with that step is that oos does not move _locked_ files and directories. so when one goes to next steps, of shrinking, if locked directories and files are not unlocked, one of 2 things happen, shrinking can not shrink as much as needed, or locked directories and files are lost.
- shut down windows.
- boot gparted live
- in my experience the "main" windows partition is nearest the end, so using gparted, shrink it enough to leave adequate space for Centos. I won't go into how to use gparted, it's not hard, so you can surely figure it out (I did!:)

such might work, but only if one has original oos install disk and recovery disk.
- run your Centos installer, being sure NOT to let it mess with your windows partition(s).

or so it is as i have found trying to set up a win7 laptop.
ymmv.

How much space you need is mostly up to your plans for the system. The minimum space required to install CentOS 7 is 10 gigabytes[1], although you certainly will want more. Windows 7 is going to need more space, but with 2TB, you’re could easily just split it down the middle and have plenty left over. I would suggest a separate /home partition, to make upgrading easier (see other threads[2] on this list). If you plan on running a service on the system, a separate partition for that data might also be prudent.
Also, you appear to have a broken keyboard. I suggest checking whether any of your punctuation keypresses are generating characters.

I assume you’re setting up dual boot between Windows and CentOS? Its generally easier to install Windows first, then set aside unpartioned space to install CentOS on after the windows install is complete.
I would like to setup a shared hosting site I no I need to install php and MySQL as such
I hope not on your dual-boot system — that’d be kinda an odd idea to have a shared hosting site run on a system that’s occasionally booted into Windows…
If you’re getting started with CentOS, lets just get you running it on a system before you start trying to run a business on it.
I also would like to sell domain names when I put in my search bar on my site how can i have it search for domainnames mike
What?

My other post in this thread tells you how to free up some space on the drive (after a Windows install) into which you can install Centos. This one tells you how to install Centos-7 into that space AND make it dual-boot with Windoze.
The default Centos installation(s) do not recognize the windows installation as a bootable alternative (or at least mine didn't) and therefore do not automatically give you dual-boot capability.
But here's how to solve that (I'm pretty sure this works only for Centos-7):
1. so the first step is to go ahead and install Centos in the free space. 2. boot it up, run "yum update" to update any packages that have been updated since your CD image was made. 3. install the epel repo for your version of Centos (presumably you're going to install Centos-7). "yum install -y epel-release" 4. Do "yum install ntfs-3g ntfsprogs" 5. Then run: "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" and voila! you've now got a dual-boot Centos-7 and Windoze!
do not enter the quotes when typing in the recipes above. they are here only to separate the commands from my blithering.
Note tat you'll need to be the root user for everything from step 2 onward.
