How many servers?
Physical, virtual or hosted?
How much time is/would be involved per week/month?
What Linux distribution(s) (each has its own nuances)?

How many servers? One Main and One Backup
Physical, virtual or hosted? Physical out of Montreal

How much time is/would be involved per week/month? This is hard to answer. Unless something breaks, demand is pretty much minimal and we do have our hosting server support to handle hardware and software issues. If workload increases for any reason we can always post for another team member.

What Linux distribution(s) (each has its own nuances)?Right now we are looking at end of life for our CentOS and liikely try to stay as compatible as possible. AlmaLinux 9 is a possibility but we are flexible depending on the specializng of our server admin at the time of migration. We are running WHM and Cpanel on all our domains.

On June 30, 2024, CentOS Linux 7 will reach End of Life (EOL)

I have no problem maintaining the servers - linux for basic stuff but don't have much actual web programming. I am an old OS/network guy of > 25 years. I can help as much as needed. I WFH so I have spare time.

Thanks
Rob

.......Bump!
