Every Forced Migration Due to EOL is a Customer Churn Risk
Endless Lifecycle Support (ELS) provides security patches for end-of-life operating systems, PHP versions, and applications — so you don't have to choose between customer retention and infrastructure security.
The EOL Trap: When “Just Upgrade” Isn’t an Answer
Forced migrations mean customer churn. A single compatibility issue can break sites that have been running perfectly for years.

Rapid CVE Response
Cybercriminals actively exploit newly discovered flaws, especially in unsupported systems. With guaranteed timelines and rapid patch delivery, TuxCare keeps your infrastructure protected and ahead of evolving threats.
Complete Coverage
Fixing the parent package doesn’t automatically address risks hidden in its dependencies, leaving multiple layers vulnerable. ELS protects you at every level, covering both direct and transitive dependencies without added cost.
Secure Delivery
All ELS updates are delivered through secure, TuxCare-hosted repositories, ensuring verified, tamper-proof delivery directly to your systems. Packages are signed and built to enterprise standards so that you can trust every update.
Seamless Integration
TuxCare’s ELS packages plug into your existing workflows and CI/CD pipelines, with full support for yum, apt, pip, Maven, Gradle, npm and others. Updates flow through your current toolchain without disruptions and process changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from hosting providers evaluating Endless Lifecycle Support
Endless Lifecycle Support (ELS) delivers security patches for end-of-life operating systems, PHP versions, and applications after official vendor support ends. For hosting providers, this means customer sites can keep running securely on CentOS 7, PHP 7.4, and other EOL software without forced migrations. ELS covers the full stack—from the OS layer through runtimes, libraries, and critical applications like Apache and MySQL.
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.
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.
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.
