Every Forced Migration Due to EOL
is a Customer Churn Risk

ELS provides security patches for CentOS 6, CentOS 7, CentOS 8, Ubuntu LTS versions, Oracle Linux, and RHEL after their official end-of-life dates. Patches are delivered through standard package managers (yum, apt) with no changes to your existing workflows or automation.

Yes. ELS for Runtimes provides ongoing security patches for PHP 5.6, PHP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 after official support ends. Customer sites built on older PHP versions can continue running securely without code rewrites or compatibility-breaking upgrades.

Yes. ELS for MariaDB keeps MariaDB 10.6 patched after its July 6, 2026 community end of life, delivered as drop-in updates through your package manager, with no forced upgrade. Covers CloudLinux 7/8/9 and other EL 7/8/9 systems; other distributions on request.

TuxCare maintains SLA-backed response times for critical vulnerabilities, with patches typically available within days of CVE disclosure. Updates deploy through your existing package management workflows—the same yum or apt processes you already use—so no additional tooling or process changes are required.

Yes. ELS removes the security pressure that forces rushed migrations. Instead of telling customers “your site must move to a new PHP version,” you can maintain security on their existing stack while planning upgrades on your own timeline—or choosing not to migrate if the current configuration works well.

Yes. ELS patches are designed to work alongside common hosting control panels including cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin. The patches address kernel and userspace vulnerabilities without affecting control panel compatibility or requiring configuration changes.

TuxCare offers flexibility to add support for open-source components outside the predefined catalog. If your hosting stack depends on specific packages or applications that aren't listed, contact the team to discuss custom coverage options.

If you're running CloudLinux OS, ELS coverage integrates directly with your existing environment. The combination provides both a hardened, hosting-optimized operating system and extended lifecycle coverage when underlying components reach end of life—all managed through familiar tools and workflows.

No. ELS removes the security urgency but doesn't eliminate other reasons to upgrade—performance improvements, new features, vendor support for adjacent tools. Think of ELS as buying runway and reducing risk while you plan upgrades strategically based on business priorities rather than CVE deadlines.

Contact our team with your current server count and the specific EOL software you're running. We'll help you understand which ELS components apply to your environment and provide pricing based on your fleet size. There's no commitment required to explore options.
