What’s CloudLinux?

CloudLinux is an operating system (OS) that is commercially supported and compatible with the most popular RPM-based distribution on the market.

What’s in it for me?

Whether you are a shared hosting provider or a datacenter, CloudLinux delivers better efficiency and stability to drive a more profitable operation.

Benefits for both shared hosting providers and datacenters

Shared hosts

  • Increase the number of accounts per server, reducing hardware, electricity, data center space and management costs
  • Our proprietary isolation technology prevents any single site from hogging resources or taking down a server
  • Improved security reduces outages and means less support time spent managing down servers
  • 24/7 support means you get help fast, when you need it

Datacenters

  • Provide your customers with a well tested, commercially supported and maintained OS
  • Better security reduces churn and the costs associated with security support issues
  • Drive extra revenue via upsell to commercially supported distribution that was optimized for web
  • Complete support means you just submit a ticket to CloudLinux and let us find the answer for you
  • CloudLinux was fine tuned to work well with most popular control panels
  • Fully tested for reliability
What’s the technology behind the promises?

CloudLinux increases server density by improving stability and reliability using isolation technology to create Lightweight Virtual EnvironmentsTM (LVE)
Proprietary to CloudLinux, LVEs deliver better resource management by limiting the amount of resources any site can use, so that no single account can slow or take down a whole server

LVEs provide a host of other advantages:
  • Provides simple approach to identify users that take up most of server resources
  • Protects the server from hackers and poorly written scripts that drain resources for other tenants.
