A2 Hosting Launches CloudLinux OS on Web Hosting Plans

Offering serves to reinforce the company's commitment to provide the best possible experience for its customers.

A2 Hosting, a Linux website hosting provider, recently announced that it is now offering CloudLinux on each of its web hosting packages. The company avers that CloudLinux is the only commercial-supported server operating system which is fully CentOS and RHEL compatible and designed for shared hosting. CloudLinux has made a name for itself by increasing reliability by effectively isolating web hosting accounts from one another.

It articulates that CloudLinux was designed from the start to prevent a single resource-hogging web hosting account from crashing or even slowing down a server. Instead, it allows sysadmins to finely adjust the resources available to an account so that a resource spike affects only that account's web site. CloudLinux Lightweight Virtual Environment (LVE) effectively cages each user, allowing precise control over the resources available while effectively isolating one account from another. If a site hosted at the company continues to experience a resource spike, customers can easily upgrade their account to a Managed VPS Hosting package for a seamless transition.

A2 Hosting's Marketing Manager, Brad Litwin, commented, "We take great pride in our 99.9% uptime guarantee. CloudLinux has helped us to further enhance our reliability. The levels of innovation that CloudLinux and A2 Hosting offer clearly parallel one another. I see zero irony in the fact that both of our companies are headquartered in Ann Arbor, a city that has been heralded as a technological hub."

"It's always been clear to us that A2 Hosting works hard to maintain their stellar reputation as a reliable, high-quality hosting provider," said Marv Steigman, Vice President of Marketing for CloudLinux. "The fact that A2 Hosting is now offering our solution serves to reinforce their commitment to offering the best possible experience for their customers. We have had a wonderful relationship and are excited to continue working with them in the future."
