Houston, Texas, July 31, 2019 \u2013 cPanel\u00ae<\/sup>
\nis excited to announce a partnership with CloudLinux to extend support for
\nsystems running Red Hat\u00ae<\/sup> Enterprise Linux\u00ae<\/sup> 6 and CentOS 6
\nby nearly 4 years.<\/p>\n

Released in 2011, Red Hat Enterprise
\nLinux (RHEL) 6 and CentOS 6 have been receiving only security updates since May
\nof 2017. These operating systems will reach End of Life (EOL) in November of
\n2020. At that time, without security patches or bug fixes, hosting providers
\nwill be required to migrate their customers to avoid using an operating
\nsystem that is vulnerable to attacks and malware. Additionally, websites
\nhosting on those operating systems will lose compliance with data and
\nsystem certifications such as SOC 2 and PCI DSS.<\/p>\n

To mitigate this scenario and reduce
\nmaintenance burden for our community, cPanel and CloudLinux will work together
\nto support CloudLinux OS 6 for cPanel & WHM users until June 30,
\n2024. Full details about this initiative can be found at cloudlinux.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to work with CloudLinux
\nto extend the lifecycle of CloudLinux OS 6. Our goals are to give the hosting
\nindustry a viable answer and more flexibility in their operations schedule.
\nHosting companies shouldn\u2019t be required to choose between security and downtime
\nfor their customers,\u201d said Ken Power, VP of Product Development for
\ncPanel, L.LC.<\/p>\n

Users of the hybrid kernel
\nin CloudLinux OS 6 will effectively enjoy extended support of RHEL
\n6\/CentOS 6 until 2024. By that time, hosting providers will be able to safely
\nmigrate directly to RHEL 8, skipping RHEL 7 deployment entirely. RHEL 8 and
\nCentOS 8 will be supported until May 5, 2029. For enterprises and hosting
\ncompanies running their systems on CloudLinux OS 6, this equates to fewer
\nmigrations and less administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to collaborate with
\ncPanel to extend support for CloudLinux 6 to our combined communities, and also
\nto provide a safe refuge for current RHEL 6 and CentOS 6 enterprises who need
\nto remain secure and compliant,\u201d said Jim Jackson, President and CRO at CloudLinux.<\/p>\n

CloudLinux OS can be purchased for
\ncPanel & WHM servers directly through the cPanel
\nStore<\/a>, the Manage2 portal for cPanel
\nPartners<\/a>, and through the WHM
\ninterface.<\/p>\n
