As part of our commitment to providing a secure, stable, and high-performance hosting environment, EuroVPS has officially ended support for several legacy operating systems that have reached their End-of-Life (EOL).
This FAQ explains which systems are affected, why the change is necessary, and the recommended next steps.
Which Operating Systems Are No Longer Supported?
EuroVPS no longer provides support for the following operating systems:
- CentOS 6 – EOL: November 30, 2020
- CentOS 7 – EOL: June 30, 2024
- CloudLinux 7 – EOL: June 30, 2024
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS – EOL: May 31, 2023

- Debian 9 – EOL: June 30, 2022
- Debian 10 – EOL: June 30, 2024
These operating systems have stopped receiving official security updates, making them vulnerable to critical threats and incompatibilities.
Why Is This Change Being Made?
Continuing to host outdated systems introduces serious risks, including:
- Unpatched security vulnerabilities
- Incompatibility with modern software
- Regulatory and compliance failures
- Reduced performance and stability
EuroVPS aims to ensure that all clients operate in a secure, well-supported environment with access to up-to-date software and protections.
What Happens If You Continue Using an Unsupported Operating System?
If your server is still running any of the unsupported systems mentioned above:
- EuroVPS will no longer provide regular support or maintenance
- Only emergency support (such as for server-down situations) will be available
- EuroVPS will not assist with software issues, configuration changes, or patching on these systems

In order to continue receiving technical support and maintenance from EuroVPS, your server must be upgraded to a supported operating system, such as AlmaLinux 8 or 9, CloudLinux 8 or 9, Oracle Linux 8 or 9, or Rocky Linux 8 or 9.
