About CloudLinux License

Why CloudLinux is the OS layer for shared hosting

If you run shared or reseller hosting, the moment you put 30 or more customer accounts on a single Linux server, you have a resource isolation problem. One customer writes a slow PHP script and every other customer on the box feels it. One customer gets compromised and the attacker can read other customers' files. CloudLinux solves both problems at the OS layer with LVE (Lightweight Virtual Environment) and CageFS, and the Cheap Shared CloudLinux License from sellerslicense.com puts that layer on your server at a fraction of what CloudLinux charges going direct.

What you actually get in the Cheap Shared CloudLinux License

A single license activates CloudLinux OS on one server with the full feature set: LVE for CPU/RAM/IO/entry-process limits per account, CageFS for per-user filesystem jails, PHP Selector for per-account PHP version selection, MySQL Governor for query-level resource limits, and the integrated Patchman security patching engine. CloudLinux Inc. maintains the OS, ships security patches through the standard yum/dnf channel, and your install pulls those patches directly from the vendor repo the moment they release.

Why CloudLinux costs less than going direct

CloudLinux's direct pricing is per-server with tier breakdowns by RAM size and number of accounts. We resell the same keys through the same wholesale channel CloudLinux uses for its hosting partners and pass the savings through. There is no feature difference between what you buy from us and what you buy from CloudLinux Inc. directly. Same key, same updates, same vendor-direct support contract.

LVE and CageFS — the actual shared-hosting problem

The core problem CloudLinux solves is this: on a stock AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux server, a single customer's runaway PHP process can starve every other customer on the same box. There's no per-account resource limit enforced at the kernel level. LVE changes that — it inserts the kernel-level resource limits that make per-account CPU, RAM, IO, and entry-process caps actually enforceable. CageFS goes a layer deeper: it jails each customer's filesystem so a compromised account cannot read another customer's files. Together they're the standard hardening for any shared hosting fleet in 2026.

PHP Selector and MySQL Governor

PHP Selector is the feature that lets each customer pick their own PHP version (PHP 7.4 through 8.4 currently) and module set per directory. For a hosting provider, this is essential — your customers have wildly different PHP requirements depending on what CMS or framework they run. MySQL Governor is the equivalent for MySQL/MariaDB: it caps query execution time and prevents one customer's bad query from locking the database for everyone. Both ship with the Cheap Shared CloudLinux License at no additional cost.

  • One free server IP re-bind per license per billing period, no support ticket needed

48-hour money-back guarantee

Every Cheap Shared CloudLinux License sold on sellerslicense.com comes with a 48-hour money-back window. If CloudLinux turns out not to be the right fit, request a refund inside that window and we process it the same business day.

Who this license is a fit for

The Cheap Shared CloudLinux License is the right pick for any shared or reseller hosting provider who runs more than 30 customer accounts on a single server and needs kernel-level isolation between them. If you've ever had a runaway account take down your server or a compromised account read your other customers' files, LVE and CageFS are the layer that prevents both.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between CloudLinux and stock AlmaLinux? +
Stock AlmaLinux is the upstream community rebuild of RHEL. CloudLinux OS is a hardened fork with the LVE kernel patchset, CageFS user-jail filesystem, PHP Selector, MySQL Governor, and Patchman security patches layered on top. For shared and reseller hosting fleets, CloudLinux OS replaces stock AlmaLinux — you convert a fresh install with one script and get the kernel-level isolation that stock AlmaLinux does not provide. Source: cloudlinux.com/
Does CloudLinux run on Ubuntu or Debian? +
No — CloudLinux OS is RHEL-family only. Officially supported are AlmaLinux 8 and 9, Rocky Linux 8 and 9, RHEL 8 and 9, and the legacy CentOS streams. If your fleet is Ubuntu-based, you'd want a different isolation layer; if your fleet is RHEL-family and you serve shared customers, CloudLinux is the standard choice. Source: cloudlinux.com/
Can the Cheap Shared CloudLinux License move to a new server IP? +
Yes. One free IP re-bind per license per billing period is included, handled through the client area without a support ticket. A re-bind is needed when you migrate to a new server, change your server's primary IP, or restore after a disaster. Most customers moving once or twice a year never need to pay for a re-bind.
Does CloudLinux include KernelCare? +
Yes — KernelCare rebootless kernel patching is included in the CloudLinux OS subscription, not sold separately. Every Cheap Shared CloudLinux License ships with KernelCare patches through the same CloudLinux Agent, which means kernel-level CVEs get patched in memory without the reboot window. This is one of the underrated reasons providers choose CloudLinux over stock RHEL-family distributions. Source: cloudlinux.com/kernelcare.html
How many accounts can I host with one Cheap Shared CloudLinux License? +
There is no hard account cap on the Cheap Shared CloudLinux License — LVE lets you enforce per-account resource limits regardless of how many customers you put on the box. In practice the limit is what the hardware can serve: a typical 16GB RAM server with LVE set to 1GB per account can comfortably host 30-50 active WordPress sites. The license itself does not throttle your account count.
What does LVE actually do for shared hosting? +
LVE (Lightweight Virtual Environment) inserts kernel-level per-account resource limits into the running kernel. CPU, RAM, IO, and entry-process caps are enforced per customer — a single customer's runaway PHP script cannot exhaust server resources and starve other customers. LVE is the layer that turns a single Linux server into a multi-tenant hosting platform with predictable performance, and it's the reason shared hosting providers standardize on CloudLinux. Source: cloudlinux.com/lve.html
Does CloudLinux work with cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin? +
Yes — CloudLinux OS is officially supported on cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin. The integration is direct: each panel sees the LVE limits through its standard resource-package UI, PHP Selector appears as a per-account PHP version selector, and CageFS is enforced transparently. Most hosting providers run cPanel on CloudLinux as their default shared-hosting stack.
Do you offer bulk pricing on CloudLinux licenses? +
Yes. For multi-server and reseller operations, our wholesale tiers drop the per-license cost further. Open a chat with our sales team once logged in and we tailor the per-server rate to your fleet size. Bulk purchases also unlock priority onboarding and a single point of contact for your entire CloudLinux fleet.
How does the 48-hour money-back guarantee work? +
When you buy a Cheap Shared CloudLinux License from sellerslicense.com, you have 48 hours from payment confirmation to cancel for a full refund — provided you haven't activated the license for production hosting. After the 48-hour window, refunds aren't available, but you can transfer the license to a different IP through the client area.
Can I convert a stock AlmaLinux server to CloudLinux OS without a reinstall? +
Yes — there's a built-in conversion workflow that converts a stock AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux server to CloudLinux OS in place. The conversion preserves your existing data and config; you then reboot once to load the CloudLinux kernel. This is the standard upgrade path for existing cPanel or DirectAdmin servers that need LVE and CageFS without a full server migration. Source: cloudlinux.com/
CloudLinux vs AlmaLinux — what's the difference for shared hosting? +
AlmaLinux is a free, community-supported RHEL clone — same OS layer as RHEL but no commercial backing for shared hosting features. CloudLinux OS is a commercial Linux distribution built on AlmaLinux/RHEL with the LVE (Lightweight Virtual Environment) kernel, CageFS user isolation, PHP Selector, MySQL Governor, and HardenedPHP. For shared hosting providers, CloudLinux OS is purpose-built for the multi-tenant scenario; AlmaLinux is not. The two can coexist on the same migration path — convert an AlmaLinux server to CloudLinux OS without reinstalling.
How does LVE actually protect shared hosting users from each other? +
LVE (Lightweight Virtual Environment) is a kernel-level resource container. Each hosting account on the server gets its own LVE with hard caps on CPU, memory, IOPS, entry processes, and concurrent connections. If one customer gets traffic-spiked, runs a runaway PHP script, or starts a MySQL storm, their LVE caps the impact — the noisy customer slows down, but every other customer on the same server is unaffected. Without LVE, the noisy customer would impact the entire server.
Can I convert a stock AlmaLinux server to CloudLinux without reinstalling? +
Yes. CloudLinux ships a converter script (cloudlinux-convert) that converts AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS, or RHEL to CloudLinux OS without reinstalling. The script updates the package repository, installs the LVE kernel module, sets up CageFS, and migrates the existing users. The conversion takes about 30 minutes on a typical VPS. After conversion, the server runs CloudLinux OS but preserves all existing user accounts, websites, and databases.
What is HardenedPHP and why does it matter? +
HardenedPHP is CloudLinux's PHP hardening mode — patches PHP vulnerabilities at the OS level without requiring PHP version updates. For hosting providers running older PHP versions for compatibility reasons, HardenedPHP closes critical CVEs without forcing the customer to upgrade PHP. HardenedPHP is enabled by default on every CloudLinux install and operates transparently — no admin or customer action required.
How does PHP Selector help shared hosting customers? +
PHP Selector lets each customer choose their own PHP version (PHP 5.4 through 8.x) and PHP module configuration from a dropdown in their control panel. The customer's choice is isolated to their own CageFS environment and doesn't affect other users on the server. For shared hosting, this means a customer running an old WordPress site on PHP 7.4 can coexist with another customer running a modern Laravel app on PHP 8.3 — each gets their preferred PHP.
Does CloudLinux include KernelCare live patching? +
Yes. CloudLinux OS includes KernelCare for all customers running CloudLinux OS. The integration means kernel CVE patches deploy as live patches without rebooting, on top of CloudLinux's existing OS update model. For shared hosting providers, KernelCare integration with CloudLinux removes the planned-reboot cycle that kernel updates usually require.
How many customers can I host on one CloudLinux server? +
CloudLinux's per-account LVE limits mean you can safely oversell hardware far more aggressively than on plain AlmaLinux. A typical 8-core/32GB server with LVE configured at 1 CPU and 1GB per account can comfortably host 50-100 low-traffic shared hosting customers. For higher density, increase LVE memory and IOPS caps. For lower density (higher performance per customer), lower the customer count and increase LVE caps per account.
Does CloudLinux slow down the server compared to AlmaLinux? +
For benchmarks (single-user, single-core), CloudLinux OS is within 1-2% of stock AlmaLinux — the LVE overhead is minimal for typical workloads. For multi-tenant workloads (the actual shared hosting scenario), CloudLinux is dramatically faster because LVE caps prevent one noisy customer from starving everyone else. For hosting providers, the comparison should be benchmarked on multi-tenant workload, not single-user.
Can I use CloudLinux features without a CloudLinux OS license? +
Partial overlap exists — LVE requires CloudLinux OS. PHP Selector and MySQL Governor are CloudLinux-specific. CageFS requires the CloudLinux kernel. The CageFS utility can be installed on RHEL/AlmaLinux for user-isolation purposes but without the LVE kernel resource caps. For the full feature set, you need CloudLinux OS. The CloudLinux Solo license covers a single server, Admin covers up to 5 accounts, and Pro covers unlimited accounts on one server.
