Virtualized in the Cloud

DrakNet utilizes the latest in cloud light virtualization technology to address common issues that cause instability and downtime on shared hosting servers.

Typical Shared Servers

A typical shared server needs to run with vast amounts of idle resources to guard against a single account over-utilizing, as resources are truly shared among all accounts. If one account decides to take all the resources, this slows down processes and services for all clients on the server.

Risks of a typical shared hosting environments include:

• That any web site can drain resources for a variety of reasons from all other clients, whether due to an attack, traffic spike, or inefficient coding.
• One single website can overload an entire machine if the conditions are right, slowing down or stopping services for hundreds of sites and potentially thousands of visitors and clients.
• There is no default additional security or protection from hackers or scripts that drain resources for any other sites housed on the same machine with a compromised site.

DrakNet's Cloud LVE

By utilizing CloudLinux, an operating system specifically designed to address the weaknesses and risks in the typical shared hosting environment, we are able to mimic VPS-like resource containment so that sites get the available resources they need and pay for without sacrificing any of the functionality that one would expect from a typical shared hosting account.

By containing "server hogs", there's no more guessing as to when a server is overloaded, and no more idle resources sitting and waiting for something that may or may not happen. The technology provides for much a better management of server populations and leads to far more server stability.

With a Light Virtual Environment, or LVE, you know that you'll have the resources you need for your site.

Resource isloation via LVE Technology prevents individual websites from using too many resources and slowing other sites down, provides better security, and protects servers from issues that drain resources for other sites. It makes it almost technologically impossible for a single website to overload the server - one of the most common causes of shared hosting downtime.
