London, GB., January 14th, 2023 — Ethernet Servers Ltd, a leading web hosting & managed service provider (MSP) has today announced the addition of AlmaLinux 9 to its list of supported Linux distributions for all new and existing VPS customers!
The release, Lime Lynx, will be given security updates by the AlmaLinux foundation for ten years.
As the newest release, this becomes our recommended version for anyone wishing to run AlmaLinux.
This announcement serves as an ideal time to relay another message: we suggest anyone running a Linux distribution that is not listed below update as soon as possible:
- AlmaLinux 8 64-bit
- AlmaLinux 9 64-bit
- Rocky Linux 8 64-bit
- Debian 11 64-bit
- Debian 12 64-bit
- Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit
- Ubuntu 22.04 64-bit
- Ubuntu 24.04 64-bit
Other distributions, such as CentOS 6, Debian 9, Ubuntu 16.04, etc. are end-of-life and do not receive security updates, putting the integrity of any data at greater risk of being compromised.
Ethernet Servers customers can find instructions on reinstalling their VPS over here, but as always, we're standing by ready to help via our ticket system as well.
