CentOS Linux Hosting Features

Why Choose CentOS Linux for Your Dedicated Server?

While CentOS Linux has reached end-of-life, we support existing CentOS dedicated server deployments with migration services to AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux. In-place conversion preserves all data and configurations on your bare-metal hardware.

In-Place Migration

Convert your CentOS dedicated server to AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux without reinstalling. All data, websites, databases, and configurations are preserved during the bare-metal migration.

Zero Downtime Planning

We schedule migrations during your maintenance window. Most in-place conversions complete in 30-60 minutes with a single reboot. Your physical hardware and data remain untouched.

Legacy Support

For servers that cannot migrate immediately, extended lifecycle support provides continued security patches for CentOS 7 through third-party providers while you plan your transition.

Hardware Continuity

Your dedicated server hardware stays the same — same CPU, RAM, storage, network, and IPMI. Only the OS repositories and branding change during migration.

cPanel Preservation

cPanel/WHM installations migrate seamlessly from CentOS to AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux. All accounts, domains, email, and configurations are preserved without reconfiguration.

Post-Migration Verification

Our team verifies all services, websites, databases, and applications function correctly after migration. Rollback procedures available if any issues are discovered.

Frequently Asked Questions

CentOS Linux Dedicated Server Hosting FAQ

Can I migrate my CentOS dedicated server without reinstalling?

Yes. The almalinux-deploy and migrate2rocky tools perform in-place conversion on your existing dedicated server hardware. All data, configurations, websites, and applications are preserved. The process takes 30-60 minutes with one reboot.

Will my websites work after migrating from CentOS?

Yes. AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are binary-compatible with CentOS/RHEL. All PHP websites, databases, email configurations, cPanel accounts, and system settings work identically after migration. The change is transparent to your hosted sites and applications.

Is it safe to continue running CentOS on my dedicated server?

CentOS 7 reached end-of-life in June 2024 and no longer receives security patches. Running unpatched servers exposes your dedicated hardware to known vulnerabilities. We strongly recommend migrating to AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux for continued security updates.

How long does dedicated server CentOS migration take?

The in-place migration typically completes in 30-60 minutes depending on the number of packages installed. One reboot is required. We schedule this during your preferred maintenance window and verify all services afterward.

What CentOS replacement is best for dedicated servers?

Both AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are excellent CentOS replacements for dedicated servers. Both are free, RHEL-compatible, and supported by cPanel, Plesk, and all enterprise software. AlmaLinux is backed by CloudLinux Inc; Rocky Linux by community foundation RESF.
