 CloudLinux is an operating system specially designed for the web hosting industry. The CloudLinux technology is based on kernel modules that have the task of isolating and restricting the resources of each hosting account, thus preventing server overload in the event of attacks on hosted websites.

 Websites hosted on shared servers share the allocated RAM, CPU, and I/O resources of the server. In the event that one of these websites contains unoptimized applications or in the case of an attack on the website, this account may generate high resource consumption, simultaneously affecting the other users hosted on this system. CloudLinux prevents these types of abuses by identifying problematic users and limiting the resource level allocated to that user, so that the other hosted accounts are not affected. This imposed limitation, both at the kernel level and at the software level, results in a more stable and efficient server.

 The advantages of CloudLinux

  • Isolation of web hosting accounts
  • Distribute server resources equally for accounts
  • Provides a higher level of protection and security
  • Obtaining a more stable and efficient server
  • Resource abuse protection
