CentOS 6 is ending upstream support in November 2020, and as a \nsafeguard, cPanel is no longer supporting this end-of-life operating \nsystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is cPanel\u2019s commitment to prevent and mitigate any \nsecurity vulnerabilities as they arise. As a result, cPanel will require\n CentOS 6 users to migrate to CentOS 7 before upgrading to Version 88. \nThis can be achieved by migrating to CentOS 7 or purchasing CloudLinux \n6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Security updates will no longer be supplied by CentOS \nupstream after November 2020. Continuing to utilize CentOS 6 will result\n in potential security vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using supported versions of software is critical for \nyour server security. Migrating to a newer version of CentOS will allow \nyou to access the fully-supported versions of cPanel & WHM, reduce \nsecurity vulnerabilities, and allow you to receive regular feature and \nsecurity updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
