What Is CloudLinux OS?
CloudLinux is a Linux distribution specifically designed for shared hosting environments. It enhances server stability, security, and efficiency by isolating each user into a separate lightweight virtualized environment called LVE (Lightweight Virtual Environment). This isolation prevents one user from affecting others due to resource usage spikes or security vulnerabilities. CloudLinux also offers features like CageFS for additional security by encapsulating each user’s files and processes. Overall, CloudLinux is used to meet the unique needs of hosting providers, ensuring a reliable and secure hosting environment for websites and applications.
