How to use cloudlinux os in dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers comes with full root access with standard whm/CPanel. You can also enable or customize any features as per your requirement. In dedicated servers you can create unlimited cpanel and unlimited WHM accounts. Reselling WHM accounts in possible in dedicated servers and you will get the entire server access.

To avoid symlink issue you can use cloudlinux OS where you can enable the CageFS . CageFS prevents hackers from scanning the server for vulnerable files, and escalating privileges to gain root access. Also CageFS ensures that users cannot see any other user and will have no way to detect the presence of other users in the server.

Also note that CageFS comes with plugin for WHM that allows us to manage & update CageFS. We can view as well as change the default behavior of the users using the frontend panel itself.

1) You can enable CageFS which can improve security and stability on server – It can protect against symlink attacks and trace exploits.

2) Deploying CloudLinux ensures that you are optimizing the use of server. Due to limits set for CPU, IO, and Memory, you could get the most of every server and safely add more customers.

3) CloudLinux helps you to improve server density and to decrease churn, It also creates new upsell opportunities by setting limits on per-package bases.

4) It allows you to view resource accurate up to the last second, and also allows you to edit default and individual LVE (domain) limits.

5) It has user based reporting which will log a history of CPU usage for an account allowing for quick and efficient tracking of resource usage.

Advantages of cloudlinux:

1.High stability by controlling the resources for a single user

Each user in the server will be in a caged environment. In a server, the most common reason for downtime is a single account on the server using most of the resources and slowing down other domains on that server. In CloudLinux, LVE will help to overcome this problem.

2.High server security

With CageFS enabled in CloudLinux based servers, the data/information of a user won’t be available to other users. Hence it prevents a large number of security vulnerabilities.

3.High server efficiency

Resource monitoring technique in CloudLinux helps to eliminate the need to leave the server resources in an idle stage. We can create more number of users in a CloudLinux servers by comparing to traditional servers.

4.Hardened kernel

It can protect against symlink attacks and trace exploits.

5.Multiple PHP versions

By installing PHP selector module in CloudLinux based server, each user will have the ability to select the PHP version that required from their control panel.

6.Admin interface within cPanel & WHM

You can simply manage & configure this from the WHM panel.

Cloudlinux and cageFS plays a vital role to protect your websites from hack issues in shared as well as dedicated servers.
