What is LVE and what is it used for?
LVE is a kernel-level technology developed by the CloudLinux team which operates in a way similar to container virtualization. The LVE Manager enables you to maintain precise control over your server’s resources, including CPU, IO, inodes, the number of processes and connections that each individual cPanel account can use. Thanks to CloudLinux, you can ensure for your customers the resources they leased without depriving other users from their resources. LVE enables many crucial settings:
- CPU limitation
Limits CPU usage for each individual user. When a user reaches the set CPU limits, their processes are decelerated in order to prevent the misuse of server resources. Processor limitations are crucial in preventing individual users from slowing down or even blocking the entire server and making it unresponsive. - Memory limitation
Limits memory usage per user. Memory limitations are important in preventing the overuse of server memory which can lead to server congestion. Memory limitations are also fundamental in protecting the server from destroying important caches that can help increase the speed and reduce the load of the server. - I/O limits
Offers the limitation of data throughput per user. The bandwidth is measured in kB/s, and, upon reaching the limit, the processes are reduced. Since IO is one of the weakest shared hosting resources, setting a ceiling for user usage is vital because it enables stable work for all users, instead of several users with extremely complex sites congesting the disks. - Process number limitation
Limits the number of simultaneous processes within the LVE for each user. After the limit has been reached, no new processes can be created until one of the existing processes is complete. This effectively prevents fork bombs and similar DOS attacks. - Entry process limitation
Limits the number of entry processes within the LVE for each user. A single entry process actually represents a single website visitor. This limitation is important in order to prevent a single website from taking up all Apache resources and making the server unresponsive due to overload. - MySQL limits
MySQL Governor enables you to set a resource limitation per user. You can set a limitation for CPU and IO reading and writing, thus preventing individual users from taking up the majority of MySQL server resources. Nowadays, MySQL data launches most web applications and it’s important to monitor those applications. - Inode limits
Inode is a type of data structure that describes file system objects – files and directories. Only a limited number of inodes is in each file system, and, after those are used, no new files can be created. Limitations are enforced through file system quotas per user.
What is JetBackup for cPanel?
JetBackup is a leading security solution for cPanel which enables quick and efficient creation of incremental backup copies of cPanel user accounts.

What is MySQL Governor and what is it used for?
MySQL is often one of the main problematic areas for hosting companies. Keeping MySQL stable can be tricky, and users sending requests to the base can slow everything down. That’s where MySQL Governor comes in. Its ability to pinpoint problematic users and limit them in real time is unprecedented in the industry as of yet. Offering support to the latest versions of MySQL and MariaDB, CloudLinux is an imperative part of any shared hosting.
What is a domain name and extension?
Every domain consists of a name and an extension.
In the example “mydomain.com”,
- “mydomain” is the domain name, and
- “.com” is the extension.
The domain name precedes the extension and it’s the part of the domain that makes a website unique, and, by analogy, a company, an individual, a project, etc.
A simple example would be “mydataknox” as our domain name.
Domain extensions are related to countries, business operations, activities, etc.
Am example of a country-related extension would be “.hr”, which signifies that the domain is related to Croatia. Some examples of business extensions are “.biz”, “.org” and “.com”.
Apart from the previously mentioned extensions, there are many others that cover a wide variety of areas, from professions and services to hobbies. Some examples of such topical extensions are, among others, “.apartments”, “.fitness”, “.pizza”, and “.news”.

What is a user account on a cPanel server?
An account, often referred to as “the cPanel user” or “cPanel account” is an account used by the end user for logging into the cPanel interface in order to manage their website or e-mail. It should be pointed out that the total number of users on a cPanel server, in terms of licenses, is determined by the number of active and suspended users on that server. Therefore, cPanel checks the number of users on a server and counts them, whether they are active or suspended.
What is CloudLinux?
CloudLinux OS is the leading platform for multi-user hosting environments. Server stability and security is achieved by isolating each hosting user account and appointing host resources individually to each account. Using CloudLinux you create an environment that is more similar to a virtual host than a shared hosting account. Therefore, it’s important to implement and use the CloudLinux OS for every shared hosting, since it will prevent any user from affecting your server and its performance.
