A typical shared server hosts huge numbers of accounts that all use the same server resources. If one website uses too many resources, it can slow down or shut down the server. This is common for shared hosting servers although we at 040hosting do not oversell or have huge numbers of sites on a server the following scenarios can still happen on our current servers:
* Traffic spikes – a mention on a popular forum can send thousands of visitors to a website in minutes and overwhelm the server causing downtime.
* Inefficient coding – a single bug in one website’s code can use all CPU resources, no matter how powerful the server, and cause downtime.
* Denial Of Service attacks – hackers invade an insecure website and hog the server resources.
040Hosting eliminates these threats by using CloudLinux, an operating system specifically designed to address the weaknesses and risks associated with shared hosting.
CloudLinux uses innovative Lightweight Virtualization Environment (LVE) technology to create isolation between websites on a shared server. By containing each website, CloudLinux prevents each one from using more resources than allocated, making sure that one website cannot affect another.
CloudLinux and 040Hosting give you peace of mind that your website is protected from other sites on the same server.
