In an announcement made today, CloudLinux Inc., creators of Linux server operating system, especially designed for shared hosting, revealed its own Preferred Partner Program. VPS.net is the first company interested in the program.

The UK2 group is an organization of more than 200 employees, with offices in London and Utah. VPS.net offers excellent cloud hosting services, which run on Linux OS and can be availed by all its customers without location barriers.
CloudLinux and VPS.net will work together on sales and marketing. VPS.net will also be allowed to use the CloudLinux technical resources and host their repositories.
Igor Seletskiy, CEO CloudLinux stated, “the combination of CloudLinux OS with service from VPS.net gives shared hosters ready access to deliver to their customers. The enhanced security and stability offered by CloudLinux OS provides an unmatched experience for shared hosting customers and is proven on more than 5,000 production servers running CloudLinux OS.”
“The opportunity to expand our relationship with CloudLinux made perfect sense for us,” said Terry Myers, chief evangelist, VPS.net. “They deliver a product that is in high demand from our customer base and offer an innovative solution addressing common problems faced in shared hosting environments.”
User accounts hosted at CloudLinux are allowed limited access to system administrative tools, memory and others in a Lightweight Virtual Environment (LVE). The LVE prevents servers from being overloaded by one user, this is also known as “the bad neighbor effect”, which helps data flow smoothly, and proves to be an efficient service to clients.
Other CloudLinux features include MySQL governor, which limits the use of MySQL features for users, along with a 24/7 tech support. The company also intends to launch CageFS, a virtual file system, which will make sure files are available and viewable to their owners only.
