Hi Zarko,

CloudLinux is the perfect linux distro for selling shared or reseller hosting.

Server without CloudLinux

On a server that does not have CloudLinux their is no management of system resources with each customers account without using 3rd party software. If one website is very busy it can dominate the whole server and even crash the server.

Servers with CloudLinux

CloudLinux isolates each account, think of it as the server puts your account into a box that has set resources limits on it, CPU limit's, RAM limits, I/O limits etc.
No matter how busy your site gets it will not have an effect on other customers on the server.
The resources set for each account are normally ample for everything expect the most busy of sites.

This is only a basic example of why CloudLinux is so great and a must have for any shared hosting server. It has many different features, MySQL management etc.

Hope this gives you a better understanding of the product, you can read more about it here.

Hello @Zarko
Cloudlinux is currently one of the most popular, if not the most popular way of creating shared hosting packages. It has great management of the server and allows to control abuse up to some point.
While in my opinion it is the best, I also think it can do with a few more functions.

CloudLinux is not specifically for Cpanel, it can also be used for Plesk and other platforms. However most cPanel users do use CloudLinux because of how good cloudlinux is and of course the compatibility.

A few key features:
LVE: LVE short for Lightweight Virtual Environment, is the technology behind the CloudLinux functioning. LVE is a collaboration of Apache modules and Linux kernel, which altogether isolates and assists in monitoring of resources on CloudLinux. So the stability of server is strengthened now, and the clients are protected from external resources.

SecureLinks: Depending upon the kernel based technology, SecureLinks add on to the security advantage of CloudLinux. This adds comprehensive protection against symbolic link attacks that are popular in a shared hosting environment.

PHP Selector: Every user runs in a personal virtual environment, so there is no longer requirement of using similar version of PHP. In the cPanel interface, users can choose between various versions of PHP. With the help of this feature, you can opt for the desired version of PHP running on the server. It also enables anyone to modify any PHP module and even add PHP extensions.

Plus much more.

So, It is just useful for hosting providers, not for users but why I could see it on some shared hosting offers

I have cPanel installed on my hosting, how to have CloudLinux, I could not imagine if I don't have an image how it works or how it helps cPanel users

Hello, Zdravo :) @Zarko

No, my recommendation 1H Hive , a much better system for c99 shell script.

1H products are developed to address the major problems of a typical shared hosting provider: resource abuse by a single user; websites being inaccessible due to slow downtime detection and resolution; customers' accounts being hacked etc. With our server management tools presented below you will not only optimize your server performance, but you will also achieve real business results!
