CloudLinux announces the expansion of its affordable Extended Lifecycle Support services for Linux distributions, by providing its own updates and security patches for several years after expiration of the products' end-of-life date.

Oracle Linux 6 Extended Lifecycle Support service will be available starting in February 2021 and will extend to February 2025.

Extended Lifecycle Support service for Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 9 is under development.

"At CloudLinux we realized that a large volume of Linux users are at risk - relying on unsupported operating systems. That is, unless these users rapidly move to an alternative OS which is not necessarily practical," said Igor Seletskiy, CEO and founder of CloudLinux Inc. "That's why we launched Extended Lifecycle Support services for various Linux distributions, giving users more breathing room to consider their options of whether to upgrade to a newer version or switch to a different Linux distribution."

The CloudLinux Extended Lifecycle Support provides years of additional time to transition to alternatives.

CloudLinux Extended Lifecycle Support includes updates for the kernel and all needed packages such as Apache, PHP, MySQL, Glibc, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, and many others.
