Third Party Software End of Life Policy

Last modified: February 22, 2022

Overview

cPanel, L.L.C. has established an End of Life (EOL) policy for third-party software and operating systems (OS). An EOL date indicates when we will cease to provide support for that version of the third-party software.

We will retain software without an explicit EOL policy as long as the demand and business need is present.

Third-party Software

When a vendor no longer provides updates and patches for their software, we will remove the third-party software from cPanel & WHM. We also take the following actions:

  • Send you notification of the pending removal from cPanel & WHM.
  • cPanel Technical Support staff will no longer support the software. If possible, we recommend upgrading your software to a supported version.

Operating Systems

A software vendor sets the EOL of an operating system. This is the period of time during which the vendor provides patches, fixes, and other updates.

We support operating systems for the lifetime of the OS. However, there may be circumstances when it is necessary for us to not support an OS for a new version of cPanel & WHM before the OS reaches EOL. cPanel & WHM will continue to support that OS on the current and previous versions of cPanel & WHM until that OS reaches EOL. We will announce these changes on the cPanel blog, Release Notes, and through other channels.

What happens when an OS reaches EOL?

An OS that reaches EOL continues to function normally. Existing cPanel & WHM installations on systems that reach EOL also continue to function normally. We also support an OS whose end of life date overlaps with the last LTS version of cPanel & WHM supporting the OS. For example, because CentOS 6 has an EOL date of November 30, 2020, we support CentOS 6 through LTS version 86 only.

You will be unable to perform the following tasks on an operating system that reaches EOL:

  • Fresh installations of cPanel & WHM — We prevent new installations after the OS reaches EOL.
  • Upgrades to new versions of cPanel & WHM — We prevent upgrades after the OS reaches EOL.
  • OS-specific fixes — We do not provide fixes, security or otherwise, after the OS reaches EOL.

How long will cPanel support my chosen operating system?

  • CentOS 6 and Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 6 — November 30, 2020
  • CentOS 8 — December 31, 2021
  • CloudLinux™ 6 — June 30, 2024
  • CentOS 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, CloudLinux 7 — June 30, 2024
  • Ubuntu® 20.04 LTS — April 30, 2025
  • CloudLinux 8 — May 31, 2029
  • AlmaLinux OS 8 — 2029

We will notify you of operating system EOL dates as they approach. We deliver notifications in cPanel & WHM through normal update procedures, and through product documentation that is available on the cPanel website.

What should I do if my OS has reached its EOL date?

We recommend that you schedule an appropriate time to update the OS of your cPanel server. We also offer users migration support for EOL OS systems.

The OS update procedure will depend on your OS and operating environment. In some circumstances, an update to the base OS may be available through the OS vendor. In other cases, you may need to provision another cPanel server, migrate the accounts and service configurations onto the new server, and transfer the license.

For example, we do not support installations of cPanel & WHM on Amazon Linux 2. We recommend that you migrate all installations on Amazon that use Amazon Linux 1 to instances that use the cPanel & WHM AWS Marketplace listing.

We will attempt to provide suggestions with EOL notifications.
