Hi all,

I’m thinking to maybe take cloudlinux, but I’m not sure… Tho I read that directadmin does not officially support it, but does it’s best.

My current setup contains of;
AlmaLinux 9
Directadmin
Nginx_apache
Cpguard

And I’m thinking to switch to cloudlinux because of the safety measures it brings, also AccelerateWP would be nice because most site's on my server run Wordpress.

What do you guys think would it be a smart idea to move to CL?
 
CL with Litespeed is better than nginx/apache. It's offer WP-Cache.

Openlitespeed might break the user site, it's not fully support .htaccess Directive value.
 
Not going to say that I'm right in all of this, this is more of my opinion...

You can sometimes license yourself to death. Purchasing all kinds of software and paying a lot of money per month for all of the license without ever seeing a lot of benefits.

I've never been a huge fan of CloudLinux's LVE limits. They always seemed to be counterproductive to me. The principle is great. You can sell tiers of web hosting with different limits. But what I found was that the floor, the minimum values you could use with CloudLinux such that requests were not beating themselves up - those values are good enough for 99% of web hosting customers. So where are the useful tiers?

Litespeed definitely has some advantages, but most of that is related to LSCache. Take out LSCache and compare Litespeed (or OpenLitespeed) to Apache and nginx and they all largely perform about the same. Litespeed does have marginally better numbers, but worth the licensing cost?

CPGuard/Imunify/etc these have their place. I'm not discounting those. But if you're willing to write your own scripts and cobble together your own rulesets you can build your own malware detection system. If you're going to pay for a license for something, this might be the one I'd be most willing to spend money on.

I just think a lot of times people believe all of their servers have to have all of these products and they pay out the licensing cost without actually testing to see if it's worth it. So they wind up paying for stuff that they don't really need.

Again, not saying I'm right on any of this. This is just my opinion.
