Question

Convert from Centos 7 to Cloud Linux 8

Does Digital Ocean offer a special rate to purchase a license for Cloud Linux 8. I am looking to upgrade from Centos 7 to Cloud Linux. Also I’m assuming its not a hard process to go from Centos 7 to Cloud Linux via the WHM dashboard?

Hello @bpaul

An upgrade to CloudLinux is available through WHM as well. You’ll need to purchase CloudLinux before you continue with the process. DigitalOcean does not provider/sell licenses and you’ll need to do that directly through cPanel.

You can check this article from cPanel’s community:

Hope that this helps!

Hey @bpaul,

I think there is a process for switching from CentOS to CloudLinux however you can only do it from CentOS 7 to Cloudlinux 7 and so on.

If you want to go with CloudLinux 8, I’ll suggest checking the following artcile:

https://docs.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux_installation/#digitalocean

CloudLinux specifically has documentation on how you can go about achieving this.
