CloudLinux Now Supported by Hosting Controller

Cloud Linux Inc. announced that Hosting Controller will include CloudLinux in their control panel offerings HC8 and HCnix. Hosting Controller offers web hosting control panel products that have over ten years of software development and are tailored to the web hosting market. Hosting Controller chose to include CloudLinux because of its Lightweight Virtual Environment or LVE technology that is designed specifically for hosting service providers to provide greater density and stability in shared hosting and multi-tenant environments.

Hosting Controller also selected CloudLinux because of the added security it can provide to its hosting customers through the innovative SecureLVE feature. SecureLVE is based on LVE and provides a virtualized file system, which separates each user on the server into its own environment, preventing one user from seeing any other users on the server. This new server security makes it difficult for hackers to attack, deface, or steal data from the shared web server.

Hosting Controller has two premiere products in its control panel offering. Hosting Controller 8 is a complete web hosting automation control panel that is designed for web hosts to experience infinite hosting possibilities in cluster environment & lower their operational costs. It enables web-hosting companies to manage all their servers both Windows & Linux through a centralized interface. HCnix is a Linux based web hosting automation control panel that facilitates web hosts to manage multiple Web, Mail, Database and DNS servers on different GNU/Linux flavors in a cluster through single interface. HCnix is specifically designed for a distributed server environment as an independent control panel.

What makes CloudLinux so attractive to hosting providers is its core technology Lightweight Virtual Environment, a kernel-level technology that limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a group of processes. With LVE, administrators have the tools to control the CPU demands of individual tenants, so that a single site cannot slow or take down a whole server. While similar in approach to container virtualization, LVE is lightweight and transparent. The LVE level fair-share CPU scheduler makes sure that each account gets enough CPU resources to run efficiently. This CloudLinux technology offers service providers increased control as never realized before with traditional OS.
