Frequently Asked Questions

CentOS Stream VPS Hosting FAQ

What is the difference between CentOS Stream and CentOS Linux?

CentOS Linux was a downstream rebuild of RHEL (packages came from RHEL after release). CentOS Stream is upstream of RHEL (packages go to Stream before the next RHEL minor release). Stream receives updates slightly ahead of RHEL, while CentOS Linux received them after.

Is CentOS Stream stable enough for production VPS?

CentOS Stream is generally stable for production use. It tracks just ahead of the next RHEL point release, so changes are small and well-tested. However, if you need guaranteed RHEL compatibility, choose AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux which rebuild RHEL after release.

Can I run cPanel on CentOS Stream?

cPanel support for CentOS Stream may vary. Check cPanel documentation for current compatibility. If you need guaranteed cPanel support, AlmaLinux 8/9 or Rocky Linux 8/9 are recommended alternatives.

Should I migrate from CentOS Linux to CentOS Stream?

If you valued CentOS Linux for its RHEL compatibility, consider AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux instead — they are true RHEL rebuilds. Choose CentOS Stream if you want continuous updates and are comfortable with slightly newer packages that have not yet reached RHEL.

How does CentOS Stream compare to Fedora Server?

CentOS Stream is more conservative than Fedora. Fedora releases every 6 months with cutting-edge packages. CentOS Stream provides incremental RHEL-bound updates — much more stable and predictable than Fedora while still being newer than RHEL stable.
