CloudLinux is a popular Linux distribution used by shared hosting providers. Some of the advantages of cloudlinux is users are running inside its own light weight virtual environment (CageFS). This will protect other sites on the server if one of the sites gets hacked. Also, CloudLinux allows you to set resource limits for each site, this way no one site can take down the entire web server.
