CentOS 3 / RedHat 3 is EOL since October 2010; Parallels H-Sphere will no longer support this operating system version as of November 1, 2011. If you have not already done so, please contact us to discuss migrating to new virtual machines or servers running CentOS 5. Servers running version 3 will have a number of critical, and negative impacts.
CentOS 4 / RedHat 4 comes to end of life February 2012. If you have not already done so, please contact us to discuss migrating to new virtual machines or servers running CentOS 5. Starting February 29, 2012, servers running version 4 will have a number of critical, and negative impacts.
CentOS 5 / RHEL5 EOL is March 31, 2017
CentOS 6 / RHEL6 EOL is November 20, 2020
Even though servers running version 4 have one year left, you may want to consider a migration to CentOS 5 to benefit from the performance savings of CloudLinux.
Plus, it might make perfect sense to discuss Citrix XenServer as part of the solution. Ask us about our free migration service if you rent a fully managed XenServer from us.

H-Sphere 3.1’s end of life was December 1, 2010. While H-Sphere providers still using H-Sphere 3.1 can still utilize the software, there will be no more updates made by Parallels after December 1, 2010.
H-Sphere 3.2’s end of life was July 1, 2011.
H-Sphere 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 will be EOL on May 24, 2012. As of May 24, 2012, providers need to be on H-Sphere 3.4.1, or 3.5.1 or 3.6.0 to receive support.
