As noted in the cPanel deprecation plan version 110, this was the last version to support CentOS 7, CloudLinux 6 and 7, and RHEL. There have been recent changes to the End-of-Life policy for CentOS and CloudLinux 7 that you can read about here:
When will cPanel stop supporting CentOS 7?
If you would like to use the newer versions of cPanel, we encourage you to migrate to an AlmaLinux OS 8 or Rocky Linux™ 8 server.
Migrate to an AlmaLinux OS 8 or Rocky Linux™ 8
If you are running CentOS 7 or CloudLinux 7, you can elevate to AlmaLinux 8 or CloudLinux 8, respectively. Otherwise, it would be best to use the transfer tool to migrate to a new server.
