Centos7 & WHM after june 2024

[tutur]

Hello,

I currently run Centos7 on my VPS with OVH and I have a valid WHM license. What will happen after June 2024? Will I be able to still use WHM and Cpanel on my server ?

Thanks

Arthur

Will you be able to use it, yes. Will cPanel give you support, prob. not. You also won't get any OS or cPanel updates.

Thanks. What am I suppose to do to get updates and support because my vps comes with Centos7 and I will still pay for the license...

You can use the cPanel ELevate to convert the server to AlmaLinux 8 or (safer option) order a new VPS with AlmaLinux 8 and migrate your sites from one VPS to the other.

It really comes down to the complexity of your hosting environment and how customized it is.

Personally, I would go for the migrating to a new server option, but I have heard positive feedback from folks using Elevate to update VPS's and servers with standard CentOS 7/cPanel hosting environments.

Thanks. I use a vps with cpanel to host my websites. It's not really a complex environment. Pretty basic to host Prestashop websites. Does that make any difference to run a vps wiith AlmaLinux 8 ? Again, I have a pretty simple use wiith whm/cpanel.

Prestashop is a common app that doesn’t really require anything custom as far as the hosting environment, so you should be ok using Elevate.

It’s always a good idea to have backups in the event something does go wrong though.

I just have the feeling I should not do the upgrade ... There is this message in the faq "However if you attempt use it directly on a CentOS 7-based cPanel install, you will end up with a broken system."

If you use the AlmaLinux ELevate script on a cPanel system, it will break it.

You need to be sure to use the cPanel ELevate script.
