CirtexHosting, a leader in Linux Web hosting, today announced it has added CloudLinux on all hosting servers, which is designed to increase server stability and prevent downtime, ultimately improving performance for customers.
CloudLinux is a commercially supported operating system that is interchangeable with the most popular RPM-based distribution on the market. It is specifically designed for hosting service providers, and therefore offers a wide-variety of features designed to make better use of server resources on servers hosting multiple customers.
CirtexHosting also added Memcached, a high-performance memory object caching system, intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load. It is used by many of the Web’s largest destinations, including LiveJournal, Wikipedia, Twitter, YouTube, and WordPress.
“Our technicians continually search for new enhancements we can introduce into our hosting environment. After testing a variety of alternatives in our everlasting quest to boost performance, we identified CloudLinux and Memcached as important upgrades to add to our mix of performance optimizations. We’ve already noticed substantial performance increases, which in the long-term reduces downtime and helps our customers keep their websites running fast, even at peak usage times,” said CirtexHosting President John Xie.
All Shared hosting plans from CirtexHosting now offer unlimited RAID protected disk space and unlimited premium bandwidth. Plans start at just $2.49 per month and include Colortex cPanel, 24/7 premium support, and SiteBuilder software. Reseller hosting plans also offer unlimited bandwidth and start at just $24.99 per month.
“CloudLinux shares CirtexHosting’s commitment to provide the highest quality and best performance for their hosting customers,” said Igor Seletskiy, Cloud Linux Inc.’s founder and CEO. “CirtexHosting customers will benefit from the control and reliability our proven technology can deliver.”
In July, CirtexHosting announced a seismic-shift in the way it sells hosting services, dropping both bandwidth and disk space quotas in its entire line of shared hosting services, and dropping bandwidth quotas on everything else. It is also adding telephone-based customer support for the first time.
