Hosting Metro to Partner with Cloud Linux Inc and Offer New OS to its Customers
Hosting Metro to Partner with Cloud Linux Inc and Offer New OS to its Customers
Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) June 9, 2010
CloudLinux Inc., an innovative software company dedicated to serving the needs of hosting service providers, announces today that Hosting Metro, a leading Web hosting provider with datacenters in the U.S. and Canada, will integrate CloudLinux into its standard Linux Operating Systems (OS) for its customers.
Hosting Metro offers a full suite of Web hosting solutions from domain names to dedicated servers that include plans for shared hosting, email hosting, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), application hosting and SaaS hosting for small businesses. Paramount to Hosting Metro’s decision was CloudLinux’ innovative Lightweight Virtual Environment™(LVE) technology, which gives their support engineers the ability to increase control by limiting the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a group of processes. This is done by utilizing command line control to manage the CPU and I/O, which helps ensure that each account on a shared server is allocated enough resources to run efficiently without jeopardizing the other customers on that server.
“We have always put our customer’s needs first and when we started working with CloudLinux we quickly saw the benefits that this new OS could provide. We now have more control, flexibility and agility with our shared hosting servers and that in turn improves our customer’s experience.” said Tony Chu, Hosting Metro CEO. “Our strategy has been to expand our services and deliver the solid infrastructure our customers demand by implementing innovative solutions that provide cost effective solutions for our customers. CloudLinux does just that.”
Hosting Metro’s small business and enterprise customers depend on a stable infrastructure to host their business IT needs including websites, email and databases. With CloudLinux, Hosting Metro will be able to provide their customers with:
Increased uptime since no one account can slow down or take down an entire shared server
Better reliability and performance with a server that is running at peak operating capacity
Compatibility with all major control panels for easy management
CloudLinux achieves this by using a kernel-level technology that limits the amount of resources available to a group of processes. While similar to container type virtualization technology, the technology is completely transparent and lightweight. Once installed, it works transparently to manage resources on a shared hosting server, and controls the CPU resources to ensure that each account on a shared server is allocated enough resources to run efficiently without jeopardizing the other tenants on that server, making the server more stable and delivering better performance. “Hosting Metro’s Web hosting offerings are based on providing reliable and resilient services to its diverse customer base. CloudLinux will provide the control and performance to deliver the high quality services demanded by Hosting Metro’s clients,” states Igor Seletskiy, CloudLinux Founder and CEO.
About Hosting Metro
Hosting Metro is dedicated to developing innovative services and providing exceptional technical support to meet the Web hosting needs of its customers. As an indepedent company, they have 12 years of experience in the web hosting industry, and work to integrate emerging technologies and provide comprehensive, integrated solutions to their hosting clients. With their innovative Campfire Support system, Hosting Metro moves beyond standard domain hosting to provide leading technical support and a range of hosting solutions that are focused on improving productivity, increasing profitability, and empowering their clients’ to achieve their goals.

PacificHost Moves to CloudLinux Platform on all Shared Hosting Services
PacificHost Moves to CloudLinux Platform on all Shared Hosting Services
Elk Grove, CA (PRWEB) October 5, 2010
PacificHost, a provider of Linux based, cPanel Shared and Reseller Hosting services announced earlier today that the company has shifted all of its shared and reseller servers to the CloudLinux platform. CloudLinux is designed to increase overall server stability and increase performance for all customers.
CloudLinux is an operating system that integrates with a variety of service types. It is is designed to allow for user isolation in a shared hosting environment. This allows for a more efficient use of server resources. Additionally, PacificHost added Memcached which is a distributed memory object caching system. This speeds up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.
The CloudLinux software effectively creates a virtual environment for every hosting account. By doing this it prevents any specific user from using all the server resources at any one time. Hosting companies without such an isolation software can see individual accounts slowing down or even taking an entire server offline.
“These additions to our shared hosting service will help further our stability and reliability among all of our servces. CloudLinux helps us to prevent individual users from affecting other users on the server while Memcaches helps us to distribute load among the servers for a faster experience. We are always looking for ways to improve our hosting service and these additions only help to further our reliability and reputation already known in the hosting industry,” said PacificHost President & CEO, Thomas Perry.
In addition to the release of CloudLinux and Memcached on shared servers, PacificHost recently added NginX to all new VPS servers. NginX is a lightweight web server that replaces Apache as the primary HTTP server. NginX is known for its high performance, stability and low resource consumption. There is no added cost to PacificHost customers for NginX, however LiteSpeed licenses are still available to all customers.

Originally formed in 1999, PacificHost provides high quality shared and reseller hosting solutions to clients worldwide. Hosting includes, 24/7 USA Based Support, 99.9% guaranteed uptime and a 45 Day money back guarantee.

Proprietary Research from CloudLinux Demonstrates How Web Hosting Providers Can Improve Server Stability and Double The Density of Shared Servers
Proprietary Research from CloudLinux Demonstrates How Web Hosting Providers Can Improve Server Stability and Double The Density of Shared Servers
Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) March 25, 2010
CloudLinux Inc., an innovative software company dedicated to serving the needs of hosting service providers, today releases a technical white paper, “How to Squeeze More Efficiency Out of Your Infrastructure.” The paper details current inadequacies in the hosting arena and how the CloudLinux Operating System (OS) effectively addresses these issues. In particular, with CloudLinux technology, the study proceeds to explain how web hosts can double the density of their shared hosting servers while simultaneously improving server stability.
The proprietary research conducted by CloudLinux was meant to provide evidence of the inadequacies of existing server management techniques. Included is a detailed analysis of the two research methodologies used: a statistical analysis of server log activity and a survey of the experiences of real world hosting providers.
The study details the impact on hosting providers who, today, lack the ability to optimize the number of clients on a server due to risk of increased instability. Key findings include:
46.6% of web hosts reported they experienced downtime due to a lone site at least a few times a month
Frequently a single site or a very small number of sites utilize a disproportionate amount of resources:
Top 1% of sites are responsible for 39% of the static requests (on average) to the server
Top 5% of sites are responsible for 65% of static requests (on average) to the server
On 25% of the servers analyzed, top 1% of the sites are responsible for 50% or more of dynamic requests to the server
Reasons for server spikes which can bring down an entire server can include:
One badly executed script on one site
New software introduced to a site
To mitigate some of these risks, many hosting providers keep server capacity at 60% or below in order to maintain stability, but they sacrifice optimizing their infrastructure in the process. This is the problem that CloudLinux solves with its new Lightweight Virtual Environment™ (LVE) technology. It has the capability to vastly improve the density of shared hosting servers, often enabling hosting providers to double server density without sacrificing stability. The benefits of this approach include:
Properly manage hundreds or thousands of websites simultaneously on one server without risking server stability
Prevent one site from affecting the performance of other sites on a server
Gain control and manage server resources down to an individual site level, versus a server level
More quickly identify sites which are not functioning properly without running the risk of a single site slowing or taking down a whole server
The release of this white paper comes at a critical time. With the growing demand by websites to run a new array of rich applications and cloud services in a stable server environment, data centers and hosting providers are challenged to provide the quality service these customers require, cost effectively. With the CloudLinux LVE technology, hosting providers can introduce a new level of flexibility that optimizes their infrastructure. “Based on my many years of experience in the hosting arena, I am thrilled to show how CloudLinux LVE technology closes the market gap that exists in the web hosting environment by outperforming the standard OS,” states Igor Seletskiy, CEO and Founder of CloudLinux. “As our white paper outlines, it is now possible to achieve a balanced, stable server environment along with improving density of shared hosting servers through a well-supported Linux version specifically optimized for web hosters.”
CloudLinux OS is an innovative cost-effective solution designed to improve control in the shared hosting and data center arena, while simultaneously increasing control and stability, as well as improving overall performance.
