CloudLinux Dedicated Server

Quick, Simple, and Scalable CloudLinux Dedicated Servers

What is a CloudLinux Dedicated Server?

Steadfast Networks customers love our CloudLinux dedicated servers. Why? Because the CloudLinux operating system provides a stable environment for your business in even the most extreme situations.

Anyone who leases shared servers for their business knows that it’s not uncommon for sudden spikes in resources to cause them to go down for hours or even days – even when the spike isn’t caused by you! If someone on the server has a denial of service attack, uses script that’s poorly written, or suddenly gets a huge amount of traffic, everyone else using the server suffers with them. This is because shared servers mean shared resources – if one tenant goes over their allotted amount on a shared server, they automatically pull resources from everyone else, causing the whole server to slow or shut down completely.

Companies with webservers came to accept server slowdown or shutdown as a cost of doing business. The way they dealt with it was simply to have support teams available to respond to their customers when a problem happened and work to get the server back online as soon as possible. Valuable work hours were spent on tech support calls and tracking down the responsible account holders so that they could be suspended.

With a CloudLinux dedicated server from Steadfast Networks, you’ll never have to worry about problems like these again. This is because each tenant on CloudLinux server is isolated from the next using lightweight virtualized environments (LVE), and no one tenant can siphon off anyone else’s resources by exceeding their own limit. If a business has a resource spike for whatever reason, the only one on the server who will be affected is that business.

If your company has several different parts or entities on the server (such as a website, a blog, and applications), you can use CloudLinux to set specific limits for each one and ensure that a resource spike won’t take everything down at once.
