Make Server More Stable<\/h3>\n<p>Server load spikes are common.\u00a0As long as it&#8217;s still on the threshold and 99.9% uptime, it&#8217;s still considered reasonable.\u00a0CloudLinux OS will make your server more stable with the presence of LVE technology and MySQL Governor.<\/p>\n<h4>Lightweight Virtualized Environment (LVE)<\/h4>\n<p><em>Lightweight Virtualized Environment<\/em> is a technology on the kernel side of the operating system that will isolate the resources of each user from memory, CPU, IO and processes.\u00a0So, if there is one user who causes a high load, the system will limit and limit server resources.\u00a0To make it easier for you to manage, there is an LVE Manager.\u00a0With LVE Manager, you can do the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Limit the resources of each cPanel account<\/li>\n<li>Give resellers access to limit user resources<\/li>\n<li>Create and activate default packages<\/li>\n<li>Identify high load users<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>MySQL Governor<\/h4>\n<p>In addition to server load, <a href=\"https:\/\/matob.web.id\/random\/programming\/the-history-and-the-future-of-mysql\/\">MySQL database<\/a> activity also affects the stability of a server.\u00a0The number of queries generated by thousands of databases will cause the server to be down easily.\u00a0For this reason, CloudLinux OS has a\u00a0<em>MySQL Governor<\/em>\u00a0feature\u00a0that will monitor MySQL usage.\u00a0This MySQL Governor will check CPU and disk IO usage for users in real time during the MySQL query process.\u00a0MySQL Governor will automatically stop very long running queries.\u00a0MySQL Governor supports MySQL versions 5.1- 5.7 and MariaDB 5.x and 10.x.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Make Servers More Secure<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to increasing server stability, CloudLinux OS has also succeeded in making servers more secure.\u00a0Some of the features that play a role are:<\/p>\n<h4>CageFS<\/h4>\n<p>This is because, CloudLinux will create a &#8220;cage&#8221; for cPanel users.\u00a0cPanel users will have a certain virtual system that will not affect other users.\u00a0So, each user can only access the file and see the process itself.\u00a0They cannot see the processes of other users on the server including the server configuration files.\u00a0So, the server will be more secure.\u00a0This technology is called CageFS.\u00a0CageFS on CloudLinux will prevent a large number of attacks including\u00a0<em>privilege escalation<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>information disclosure attacks<\/em>\u00a0(reading the \/etc\/passwd file).\u00a0Everything is automatic without having to change the script on the user.<\/p>\n<h4>Hardened PHP<\/h4>\n<p>In addition, seeing that almost 85% of websites use the PHP programming language, CloudLinux also has a Hardened PHP feature.\u00a0There are many ways by which hackers can enter and take server access.\u00a0One of them is by exploiting a gap in the PHP version.\u00a0Remember, no system is 100% secure.\u00a0For that, make sure you have patched and updated.\u00a0There are several versions of PHP that are no longer supported by the PHP community (PHP.net).\u00a0So that some of these versions no longer have patches.\u00a0These include PHP versions 4.4.9, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1.\u00a0For this reason, Hardened PHP is present which will protect and protect websites with PHP versions that are no longer supported.\u00a0In addition, Hardened PHP will also allow users to choose multiple versions of PHP in one shared web server.<\/p>\n<h4>Secure Links<\/h4>\n<p>CloudLinux OS also has a Secure Links feature to make the server more secure.\u00a0Secure Links is a technology that runs in the kernel to prevent symlink attacks (symbolic link).\u00a0Secure Links will prevent hackers from creating symbolic link files for example executing Apache Web Server to read other users&#8217; PHP configuration files.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Server Will Have High Performance<\/h3>\n<p>A good server is a server that has high performance and performance.\u00a0With CloudLinux OS, your server will have above average performance.\u00a0This is because CloudLinux OS has a\u00a0<em>faster mod_lsapi<\/em>\u00a0feature\u00a0to do PHP processing with Apache.\u00a0<em>Mod_lsapi<\/em>\u00a0has a low memory footprint and can understand PHP instructions from an htaccess file.\u00a0MySQL Governor also plays a big role in increasing server performance.\u00a0In addition to maintaining server stability, MySQL Governor will monitor MySQL usage and prevent the server from overloading.<\/p>\n<h3>4. More Features<\/h3>\n<p>CloudLinux also allows users to select versions of several programming languages \u200b\u200bsuch as PHP, Ruby and Python.\u00a0CloudLinux OS has a PHP Selector feature that will make it easier for you to choose the PHP version.\u00a0Ever heard of PHP Selector?\u00a0For those who have a Ruby and Python-based website, you can choose the version in the\u00a0<em>Setup Ruby App<\/em>\u00a0or the\u00a0<em>Setup Python App<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When talking about a reliable OS in terms of performance and security, the name CloudLinux will always come up.\u00a0Especially, for server needs.\u00a0In fact, CloudLinux claims to be the best OS for web hosting services.
