![]() So I'd have to do everything from a remote SSH console connection. If I went for the Cloud Server, I'd more than likely lose cPanel all together, because paying for it myself, through cPanel's website let's say, would be around 20$ a month, if I remember correctly. For example, with my VPS, I have an option to pay 10$ extra a month and get cPanel, but with the Cloud Servers, they don't have that option. The way they rent the Cloud Servers are a bit weird. I gotta look into the differences between a VPS and Cloud server now. They did tell me though that if I got one of their Cloud Servers, then I could install Cloud Linux on that. Cloudlinux will only allocate X amount of cpu time to the website and that's it.Įven though I could install Cloud Linux on the VPS, I think because I'd never be able to use the kernel that comes with Cloud Linux, it'd be almost not worth it, if not completely not worth it. Normally it'd take down the entire machine, no more. On a VPS with Root access that is.Ĭloud Linux is pretty much a complete isolation between websites so let's say one website gets hacked it won't interfere with other websites on the same machine, or let's say one of your customers suddenly gets a lot of traffic. You should actually be able to install this quite easily yourself. Support is big for me, but also unlimited bandwidth, like what I have with GoDaddy is definitely a plus! Having them setup reverse DNS pointer records is another thing I'd like (but GoDaddy won't do), having certain iptable modules enabled (for CSF) would be great (another thing GoDaddy won't do) and finally, the big one, having good protection against symlink race conditions (either a patched kernel or CageFS via CloudLinux). I'm almost tempted to find another hosting provider, but I'm a bit weary of just searching for one and going for it. I thought their Cloud servers were servers running CloudLinux, but this is not the case. GoDaddy also has something called Cloud servers, so I think that could have been where I was getting confused as well. When they said it wasn't doable on the VPSes, I thought they meant it wasn't physically doable, not that it wasn't allowed. I thought maybe there was something else called CloudLinux and we were confusing the two or something. So the reason I cannot have it installed on my VPS is because GoDaddy just won't do it? This is what was confusing me. I actually ran across this documentation and pointed GoDaddy to it a few days ago. ![]() Its literally the first thing you see if you google "cloudlinux openvz" )īut again, it requires the host to install and activate it on the VPS so its out of your hands if the host isn't willing and being that its still in beta, I doubt GoDaddy will go for it. EA4 only supports PHP 5.4 and up, where CL PHP Selector you can go back to ancient history which is PHP 4.4 I believe.ĬloudLinux is surely used by big names, you don't see it more often because it would be a HUGE transition for a lot of the big names, but I know GoDaddy does use it for their shared servers for example, they recently started using it the past 2 years I think. I'd rent one.ĬloudLinux is available on OpenVZ/Virtuozzo but only if the host supports it and its limited in terms of what you can control resource wise however you still get the core features which in my eyes are CageFS and PHP selector as well as process limiting although with EA4 PHP selector isn't as demanding anymore hooweevverrr(again). I wish cPanel provided servers to rent for a small fee, like GoDaddy does. ![]() Is CloudLinux really for large-scale companies? Is it really a lot of money for it? I found instructions on the Cloud Linux website on how to convert CentOS 6 to Cloud Linux, but I guess those instructions probably aren't meant for someone running a VPS under Virtuozzo. Is that true? I guess because of the custom kernel, I cannot actually install CloudLinux on my VPS. They said Cloud Linux is what they run themselves and that it's used by large-scale companies. ![]() I see it's only 16$ a month, if I have cPanel installed. They say it's a lot of money for the CloudLinux license, but here: cPanel Store If they don't need the advanced stuff for that (and don't want to shell out the significant amount of money that it is for the CL license), then I really don't recommend CloudLinux be what they pursue. The major attraction of CloudLinux is the ability to limit resource usage on the machine (which is what we do with cPanel hosting). (in fact, our cpanel hosting runs on cloud linux). Cloud linux is a specific OS that is used by large-scale companies to use it as the parent OS for hosting platforms. ![]() But when I contacted them, I get a reply. I wanted CloudLinux for the symlink protection, among other things. I was under the impression that CloudLinux was a set of RPMs and a custom compiled kernel. I've researched it a good bit and thought I knew. ![]()
