Situation
Centos 7 / CloudLinux 7 / Ubuntu 18.04 / Debian 10 will reach their end of life soon and will no longer be supported by their vendors. We understand that migrating to a new operating system can be a complex process. To give you more time and a peace of mind, we’re introducing the Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) program. This program will run:
-
CentOS 7 & CloudLinux 7 – until January 1, 2026 (vendor EOL date - June 30, 2024)
-
Ubuntu 18.04 & Debian 10 – until July 1, 2025 (vendor EOL dates - May 31, 2023 for Ubuntu 18.04 / June 30, 2024 for Debian 10)
Plesk will continue releasing updates and providing technical support for these OSes beyond the vendor EOL dates, until the dates specified. Supporting EOL OSes incurs additional development and maintenance costs, and so taking advantage of this offer will cost extra.
Call to Action
We strongly recommend migrating or dist-upgrading to supported operating systems. The instructions for each OS are below:
Convert CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8 using an upgrade tool prepared by the Plesk team.
Dist-upgrade Ubuntu 18.04 / Debian 10 to a supported release - Ubuntu 20.04 / Debian 11.
Convert CloudLinux 7 to CloudLinux 8 using an upgrade tool prepared by the Plesk team.
Migrate the data to any supported operating system using Plesk Migrator. The list of currently supported OSes is available here.
