CloudLinux is a linux based operating system which is specially designed for shared hosting providers. It provides a better platform for multitentancy by isolating each tentant by allotting them server resources separately results in better server stability and security. It is based on OPenVZ kernel and is interchangeable with CentOS, so it is a big difference with respect of RHEL.
CloudLinux manges the user accounts by LVE manager (LightWeight Virtual Environment). Each user is allotted with their separate server resources which binds them not to interfere with others provides better stability and security. CloudLinux includes CageFS which is a virtualised per-user file system which encapsulate each user files and processes so that no other can interfere in those nor he can.
Using CloudLinux is much more profitable for server admins as it is easy to manage user accounts on server and also more accounts can work with respect of any other OS. It give more speed and scale to server. It reduces cost and maintenance too.
Some Features of CloudLinux:
1) Stability: It is more stable as it limits the users to consume server resources to given limit only. If it reaches the limit then the site will slow down without affecting others on the server.
2) Security: It also gives better security as it uses CageFS technology. It encapsulates each customer, preventing users from seeing each other and viewing sensitive information.
3) Efficiency: It increase server efficiency by eliminating the need to leave server idle, which provide the facility to host twice account on server.
4) Multiple PHP versions: Using CloundLinux you can get the ability to choose between different PHP versions. This kind of flexibility is much more needed in current servers.
5) Secured & hardened kernel: CloudLinux kernel helps prevent malicious users from attacking other website accounts hosted on the server.
