What are some of the differences between my account and a dedicated Linux server?
Your private server account is designed with the goal to emulate the behavior of a dedicated Linux server in a shared environment. Because of this, account will operate and function as a dedicated Linux server does. One of the key limitations of account is that, because of the shared environment, the private server root user does not have the ability to modify kernel or hardware-related configurations. It is significant to note, however, that any of the system files not specifically changed by the private server administrator will continue to be maintained and updated by our staff. While many of the utilities are extended to your private server account, the multi-user environment makes application management slightly different.
