Cloudlinux - The Best OS for Shared Hosting
What is Cloudlinux
Cloudlinux is a commercial Linux distribution designed for web hosting providers. It is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and offers a more stable and secure platform for hosting websites. Cloudlinux features include LVE containers (Lightweight Virtualized Environment), which isolate each customer account and prevent it from affecting other accounts on the same server, and CageFS, which limits each user’s view of the server file system. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the features and benefits of Cloudlinux.
LVE Containers
As mentioned earlier, LVE containers are one of the key features of Cloudlinux. LVE containers work by isolating each customer account on the server and preventing it from impacting other accounts. This makes for a more stable and secure hosting environment. In addition, LVE containers provide resource-based limits, so you can control how much CPU, memory, and I/O each user can use.
CageFS
CageFS is another important feature of Cloudlinux. CageFS limits each user’s view of the server file system, so they can only see the files and directories that belong to their account. This helps to further isolate users and prevent them from impacting other accounts on the server. CageFS also includes a number of security features, such as chroot jails and suEXEC protection.
PHP Selector
PHP Selector is a powerful tool that enables you to select the PHP version for your website. With this tool, you can easily and quickly change the PHP version with just a few clicks. It is compatible with all major PHP versions including PHP 5.x, PHP 7.x, and PHP 8.0. PHP Selector also offers a wide range of options such as choosing the default PHP version, selecting the PHP handler, and enabling/disabling various PHP extensions. With this tool, you can easily control the PHP settings for your website and make sure that your website is always up-to-date with the latest PHP versions.
PHP X-Ray
