Hello,
As the title suggests, we already have a reasonable number of websites, but I, perhaps, foolishly put them on Centos 7 as an OS. The problem we found is that the server software is just too old, for instance, the version of the database server. We have tried CloudLinux, but for various reasons, not all technical, we found out they were not a good fit for us. However, I think Centos 7 may have been our wrong choice.
I tried upgrading to later versions of Centos, but because I also had old websites using old versions of PHP, Python, etc. a bit of a challenge—no easy installs. You have to download and compile the software yourself and then hope it doesn't clash with similar software.
What other OS should I look at, given that server software datedness is one of our considerations that should make handling multiple PHP or Python versions easier?
