Introducing Cloudlinux

TetraHost is proud to announce CloudLinux is installed on our shared Servers.

CloudLinux is a revolutionary Operating System that allows each cPanel account on our servers to have its own CPU allocations. With a standard Linux installation, a single user can cause issues for everybody else on the server, where as with CloudLinux that account would be limited to their own CPU allocation and would not cause issues for everybody else on the server.

One of the largest benefits of CloudLinux is that it will keep a single account from overwhelming a server and causing slow performance or downtime. Each and every account is limited to a maximum of 1 CPU Core instead of having free and open reign to system resources, and since we run high end servers with upto 16 cores this effectively means that it’s extraordinarily unlikely for the server that your account is on to become slow or unresponsive due to the actions of one, or even a handful of customers.

CloudLinux + cPanel =

Improved stability by limiting the resources any single user can consume

In shared hosting, the most common reason for downtime is a single account slowing down other accounts on the server. Using cPanel & WHM software with CloudLinux utilizes innovative Lightweight Virtual Environment (LVE) technology, improving the density and stability of your shared hosting environment for all tenants.

Advanced server security

With unique CageFS technology, CloudLinux encapsulates each customer, preventing users from seeing each other and viewing sensitive information. It also prevents a large number of attacks, including most privilege escalation and information disclosure attacks.

Increased server efficiency

By monitoring and containing resource spikes, CloudLinux eliminates the need to leave server resources idle, providing server manager with the ability to host twice as many accounts on their cPanel & WHM server.

Multiple PHP versions

Using CloudLinux together with cPanel & WHM software gives our customers with the flexibility to choose the PHP version that they need. This includes versions 4.4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 7.0 as well as more than 50 PHP extensions and the ability to adjust php.ini settings.

Hardened kernel

The shared hosting environment is unlike any other and the CloudLinux kernel takes that into account. It can protect against symlink attacks and trace exploits, while restricting the visibility of ProcFS to only what is necessary — making your cPanel & WHM accounts more secure.

Admin interface within cPanel & WHM software to easily manage account usage

Within cPanel & WHM, CloudLinux gives us and our clients the visibility and accessibility to see and control the exact resource usage of each website.

 

Enjoy Hosting!

MySQL to MariaDB Upgrade

We are upgrading database system of our all hosting server accounts by migrating from MySQL 5.6 to MariaDB 10.1, a relational database management system (RDBMS) that provides all the functionality of MySQL 5.6, and more. This migration will improve long-term compatibility with various Content Management Systems such as WordPress, Joomla and includes benefits for our customers by offering added features and performance improvements over Oracle’s MySQL. MariaDB is the community-developed fork of MySQL and, due to its high-compatibility, is a drop-in replacement. This means that the migration will be seamless and your database will continue to run as normal – and you may see an increase in performance as well.

Why we are moving to MariaDB?

Better Security and More Features

MariaDB follows industry standards and best-practices by releasing security announcements and upgrades at the same time. This ensures that upgrades and security fixes are in-sync. MariaDB also incorporates more features than MySQL and has quicker release cycles.

Better Performance

MariaDB’s database engines are an improvement over MySQLs which results in better benchmarked performances, which we have confirmed in our own user testing. MariaDB already boasts an impressive user base, including Wikipedia, Google and WordPress.com. MariaDB is also included as the default RDBMS for most major Linux Distributions, including Red Hat 7 and Debian 8.8

MariaDB is a True open-source Project

MariaDB was originally forked from MySQL after the latter was acquired by Oracle, and is committed to remaining open source. Such global collaboration ensures that security and development is open and vibrant.

If any of our client face any issue with their website database connection, please change database user password and update website configuration file which should resolve the issue. If you still have any issue feel free to open a support ticket immediately.
