Managed Hosting Essentials: Why We Include cPanel, CloudLinux, Imunify360 & More
When people talk about hosting, they often talk specs — CPUs, SSDs, RAM. But at 040Hosting, we believe the real managed hosting essentials are the tools that keep your site secure, stable, and easy to manage every single day. Without them, you don’t have a serious hosting solution — just empty space on a server.
That’s why we include a core set of technologies on every managed service we offer — from Shared Hosting to Reseller Hosting, Managed Cloud, and even Managed Dedicated Servers. These aren’t upgrades or options. They’re part of the essentials.
-
cPanel/WHM
-
CloudLinux OS
-
Imunify360
-
KernelCare
-
JetBackup
Let me break down exactly why each of these isn’t optional for us — and why you shouldn’t consider any hosting provider that skimps on these essentials.
cPanel/WHM – The Control Panel That Sets the Standard
Let’s face it — managing websites, emails, databases, and server configurations should not require rocket science. cPanel/WHM has been the gold standard in web hosting for decades for good reason.
-
Clients love cPanel because of its user-friendly interface.
-
Sysadmins rely on WHM for its robust, granular server control.
We don’t believe in reinventing the wheel when the best solution already exists. That’s why we include cPanel/WHM with every managed plan. You get a proven, consistent experience with no unnecessary learning curves.
CloudLinux OS – Stability and Security Through Isolation
Many hosts still stack users together on the same server OS without true account isolation. That’s asking for trouble. CloudLinux changes everything.
By isolating each hosting account into its own lightweight virtualized environment (LVE), CloudLinux ensures:
-
One account can’t slow down or crash the entire server
-
Resources (CPU, RAM, IO) are allocated fairly and transparently
-
Security breaches stay contained to the affected user
It’s what we consider the foundation of a reliable shared or reseller hosting environment. Without CloudLinux, you’re rolling the dice.
Imunify360 – Real-Time Web Hosting Security
Security is not an afterthought — it’s part of the core offering at 040Hosting. That’s why we include Imunify360 on all managed services.
Imunify360 brings real-time protection with:
-
AI-based malware scanning
-
Intrusion prevention (IPS)
-
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
-
Patch management
-
Automatic quarantine and cleanup
No more waking up to defaced websites, backdoors, or zero-day exploits. Imunify360 doesn’t just react — it protects proactively and continuously.
KernelCare – Security Patching Without Downtime
There’s one thing every sysadmin dreads: kernel updates that require reboots. Downtime, even when planned, is still downtime. KernelCare solves this.
With KernelCare, we patch the Linux kernel in real-time — no reboots, no customer impact, no excuses.
-
Faster application of critical CVE patches
-
Zero service interruptions
-
Better overall system uptime
This is a non-negotiable for us. Uptime isn’t just a marketing term — we live it, breathe it, and patch around it.
JetBackup – Because Backups Shouldn’t Be Optional
If your host still treats backups as a premium add-on or offers a single daily backup, it’s time to re-evaluate. At 040Hosting, we provide JetBackup by default — and not just a basic config.
Here’s what you get on all managed services:
-
7 Daily Backups
-
5 Weekly Backups
-
12 Monthly Backups
-
Snapshot Creation (for accounts under 15GB, ideal before major changes)
This isn’t “nice to have.” This is mandatory. Accidents happen, updates go wrong, code breaks — and our backup structure ensures you can recover from anything, quickly and confidently.
Why All These Tools Are Included — No Exceptions
Some providers will try to upsell these features, treat them as optional, or worse — skip them entirely. We won’t.
Because without this stack, you’re simply not getting a complete hosting service.
We don’t just want to offer disk space and bandwidth. That’s commodity.
We offer peace of mind, and that requires:
✅ Proper isolation
✅ Proactive security
✅ Bulletproof backup & restore capabilities
✅ Performance stability
✅ A control panel that works without fuss
Whether you’re running a WooCommerce store, a busy agency with dozens of client sites, or your own mission-critical app — this setup scales with you, protects you, and keeps your business online.
In Closing
At 040Hosting, we build for resilience. Not just speed. Not just flashy specs. But true resilience. These tools — cPanel/WHM, CloudLinux, Imunify360, KernelCare, and JetBackup — are the pillars that hold that promise up.
We don’t charge extra for the essentials. We include them because we wouldn’t run a server without them — and neither should you.
This is the fourth post in a new series called Behind the Uptime, written by Patrick, CEO and owner of 040Hosting, where I’ll share insights, decisions, and the thinking behind how we run a stable, fast, and honest hosting platform—offering a peek behind the curtain of what keeps your sites running smoothly every single day.
