CloudLinux CageFS Basics for Account Isolation

CageFS helps isolate users from one another and limits visibility into other accounts on the same server. This reduces the blast radius of many common shared-hosting issues.

Why It Matters

• Compromised accounts have less visibility into the broader environment.
• Access to sensitive binaries and paths can be controlled more consistently.
• Per-user environments become easier to reason about during support review.
• Isolation improves confidence in multi-tenant service operations.

Operational Note

Isolation is most effective when combined with disciplined permission management, patching, and account lifecycle controls. It should be treated as one layer in a broader security posture.
