Best Solution - Self Hosted - Migrating from Hostgator
You can also convert an Oracle Cloud to Alma or Rocky then install ApisCP. If you do, append -s has_low_memory=1 to the installer.

Finding the proper webpanel

Why did Greg Kurtzer leave the CentOS project in the first place?
migrate2rocky.sh is a 1200 line bash script that appears to call dnf dozens of times. Granted, at the time he didn't know exactly what the migration path was going to look like, so call this one a broken promise rather than a false statement.

I created a chart showing how long some of the still active independent Linux distros have been around
