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
