When you operate a website on a shared server, multiple users share the same hardware infrastructure. Without isolation, performance can drop if a neighboring account consumes excessive resources. CloudLinux assigns dedicated LVE resource limits to each account. Your website receives guaranteed CPU, RAM, and disk throughput without being slowed down by other tenants.
How CloudLinux Protects Your Website
CloudLinux works in the background and isolates accounts from each other via CageFS and LVE containers. CPU, memory, and disk I/O are allocated fairly and predictably. If one user reaches their limit, only their own site is throttled while yours remains completely unaffected.
Key LVE Resources at a Glance
- CPU (SPEED): Processing power expressed as a percentage of CPU cores.
- RAM (PMEM): Guaranteed physical memory allocated to your account.
- IO: Disk read/write data transfer rate in megabytes per second.
- IOPS: Maximum number of disk read and write operations per second.
- Entry Processes (EP): Maximum concurrent HTTP/PHP requests processed simultaneously.
- NPROC: Maximum total number of simultaneous processes and scripts inside your LVE container.
Exceeding these limits temporarily slows down requests or returns a resource limit status message if heavily saturated.
Limits per Plan
| Plan | SPEED | PMEM | IO | IOPS | EP | NPROC | INODES |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SPPrivatStandard | 100% | 512M | 1MB/s | 1024 | 10 | 40 | Unlimited |
| SPPrivatPlus | 150% | 768M | 5MB/s | 2048 | 15 | 75 | Unlimited |
| SPPrivatPower | 200% | 1G | 15MB/s | 2048 | 20 | 100 | Unlimited |
| SPBusinessPlus | 300% | 2G | 20MB/s | 4096 | 30 | 150 | Unlimited |
| SPBusinessPower | 400% | 2G | 25MB/s | 4096 | 40 | 200 | Unlimited |
Why CloudLinux Beats Traditional Shared Hosting
Traditional shared hosting offers no fixed resource boundaries: if one neighbor generates high load, the entire server suffers. CloudLinux guarantees that your resource share remains reserved for your project at all times.
Summary
CloudLinux protects your website against traffic spikes from other users and guarantees predictable performance. You enjoy the stability and isolation of a virtual server without any system administration overhead.
