They call this program the Extended Lifecycle Support program with the intent to run from <strong>July 1, 2024 to January 1, 2026<\/strong>. While extended support for a product can be seen as a good thing, this comes with some conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It can not be opted out of.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You must pay a fee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This fee is planned to increase after <strong>January 2025<\/strong>. With cPanel planning to increase their standard license fees this year, it is recommended that everybody move to a supported operating system as to not continue to get charged excess additional fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_does_this_mean_for_you\"><\/span>What does this mean for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a KnownHost customer running CentOS 7 on a <strong>VPS, Cloud or Dedicated Server<\/strong> then you will be subject to additional license fees as a result of this program being imposed upon you by cPanel. Starting <strong>September 2024<\/strong>, the fee is going to be determined by the license tier that you have with us from cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>cPanel Admin Cloud: $3.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cPanel Pro Cloud: $4.25<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cPanel Plus Cloud: $6.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cPanel Premier: $7.75<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be charged as a new service to each account that has an active cPanel license on an EOL Operating System. This fee will be charged for as long as you continue to operate on a server that cPanel does not consider a supported operating system. Once you&#8217;ve been moved to a supported operating system, you will not be charged this fee any longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_do_you_need_to_do\"><\/span>What do you need to do?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens next depends on what you want to do and what level of management that you&#8217;re currently on. If you&#8217;re fine with paying the additional fee until you move or upgrade yourself to a supported operating system, great! Nothing needs to be done. <br><br>If you&#8217;re <strong>Managed <\/strong>customer with a VPS, Cloud or Dedicated Server, you will want to reach out to our Support Department by opening a ticket through your My KnownHost dashboard. This ticket will need to be addressed with a title regarding the upgrade of your Managed Server. A support technician will be assigned to your ticket who will then proceed to check and ensure your server hits all the checkboxes to upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re an <strong>Unmanaged <\/strong>customer, you&#8217;ll need to purchase a similar VPS, Cloud or Dedicated server to migrate yourself from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8 (or 9, depending on service). It is possible for Cloud and Dedicated servers to utilize cPanel&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/cpanel.github.io\/elevate\/\">Elevate<\/a> to upgrade from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8. This is, however, <strong>only recommended for experienced systems administrators.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of May 2024, cPanel decided to launch a program for all CentOS 7 servers that were not on a supported operating system.
