cPanel recently made this statement: “We have made the commitment to support the RHEL fork by CloudLinux.”Ĭons: Not pioneers of free software. So if you run cPanel on CentOS, this may be of interest to you. The popular cPanel & WHM supports installation on CentOS, RHEL, and CloudLinux OS. Pros: Led by Cloudlinux, whose distro is widely used by shared hosting providers. This distro is another free OS, with $1M in annual sponsorship from CloudLinux, which has promised to “support future RHEL releases by updating AlmaLinux.” The expected release date is Q1, 2021. Moreover, there are additional alternatives.ĬentOS Alternative Distributions AlmaLinuxĪlmaLinux is the latest RHEL clone created by CloudLinux. In response to the termination of CentOS as we know it, CentOS founder, Gregory Kurtzer, created a successor to the original mission of CentOS, then shortly afterward, CloudLinux also announced a new CentOS clone. A CentOS alternative should offer long-term support, and of equal importance, it should be very stable. With Red Hat’s move, CentOS departs from being an extremely stable, community-supported, and RHEL-compatible distro to an early rolling-release distro for RHEL, namely CentOS Stream.Īs such, many users, including myself, are looking for CentOS alternatives.
They also announced that support would be shifting to a CentOS alternative rolling-release Linux distribution, midstream between the upstream development in Fedora and the downstream development for RHEL.ĬentOS was and still is a very commonly used production-ready Linux server distribution. However, in December 2020, Red Hat requisitioned that CentOS terminate the development of CentOS 8.
