Hosting Metro Partners with Cloud Linux

Cloud Linux announces that Hosting Metro, a hosting provider with datacenters in the U.S. and Canada, will integrate CloudLinux into its standard Linux Operating Systems to its customers. Hosting Metro offers a full suite of hosting services from domain names to dedicated servers including shared, VPS and managed hosting. Selected for its new Lightweight Virtual Environment (LVE) technology, Hosting Metro will deploy CloudLinux to increase its ability to deliver the stability, reliability and customer service to its customers.

Hosting Metro customers include not only individuals but also small business and enterprises customers who depend on a stable and available infrastructure to host their business IT needs including websites, email and databases. With CloudLinux, Hosting Metro will be able to provide their customers with:
• Increased uptime since no one account can slow down or take down an entire shared server;
• Better reliability and performance with a server that is running at peak operating capacity;
• Compatibility with all major control panels for easy management.

CloudLinux's core technology is Lightweight Virtual Environment a kernel-level technology that limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a group of processes. While similar to container type virtualization technology, LVE is completely transparent and lightweight. Once installed, the LVE works transparently to manage resources that the hosting provider sets for the accounts on a server. It controls the CPU resources to ensure that each account on a shared server is allocated enough resources to run efficiently without jeopardizing the other tenants on that server, making the server more stable and delivering better performance.

With LVE, administrators now have the tools to control the CPU and IO demands of individual tenants, so that a single site cannot slow or take down a whole server. Compatible with major control panels for easy management and deployment, CloudLinux offers cloud and dedicated server hosting providers with increased server control and stability.
