flatpass VS CloudLinux

• Automatic role assignment
  Members pay, the bot grants their Discord role instantly. A buyer who isn't in your server yet is added with it. No manual verification.
• Automatic role removal
  The role comes off when a subscription ends, is refunded or charged back. It stays while Stripe retries a failed renewal.
• Hosted invite page
  A subscription page in your server's own look (name, icon and colours) builds itself from your roles and pricing. No code.
• Price card in Discord
  Post a card in any channel and pin it: each plan gets a button with its price, and the card updates when you change one.
• Checkout links
  Every plan has its own link that opens checkout directly, for your website, bio or anywhere else you post.
• Invite Page Analytics
  Visitors, page views, clicks on your checkout links and conversion rate, by referral source, region and device, plus taggable campaign links to track individual shares.
• 0% of sales
  Never a percentage cut. You keep every dollar after Stripe's own processing fee.
• Flat monthly tiers
  Free up to 15 paid members. $29 up to 80 paid members, $79 up to 200 paid members, $149 for up to 750 paid members, and uncapped for $399.
• All features on every tier
  Tiers meter community size only. Nothing is gated behind a higher plan.
• Multiple tiers per server
  Run a $5 supporter role and a $25 premium role from the same server.
• Your own Stripe account
  Payments settle directly in your Stripe via Connect Standard, never a platform balance.
• Flexible biling periods
  Monthly, quarterly, every six months or yearly, each priced as you choose.
• Free trials
  Members get their role immediately, with the first charge days later. Set the length per server.
• Promo codes
  Members type a code on your invite page before checkout.
• Roles with no price
  Give a role away on sign-up. Those members never count toward the 15-member free cap.
• Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay
  Enabled automatically through Stripe — no separate payment setup.
• Local currency checkout
  Members see and pay in their own currency where Stripe supports it.
• You own your customer data
  Emails, payment history, and the customer relationship stay in your Stripe.
• One-click OAuth, no API keys
  Authorize via Stripe Connect. flatpass never asks for or stores your Stripe secret key.
• Worldwide sellers
  EU-based, works with Stripe accounts in any country Stripe supports.
• Cancel anytime
  No setup fee, no contract. Keep access through the period you've paid for.

• Enhanced Server Stability
  CloudLinux uses its lightweight virtualization technology (LVE) to isolate each tenant on a shared hosting server, preventing any single user from consuming excessive resources and crashing the server for everyone else. This ensures consistent uptime and performance.
• Improved Security with HardenedPHP and KernelCare
  CloudLinux offers HardenedPHP, which patches old and unsupported PHP versions against known vulnerabilities, and KernelCare, which provides live kernel patching without requiring server reboots. These features significantly enhance server security posture.
• Resource Limit Management
  Administrators can set granular resource limits (CPU, memory, I/O, number of processes, etc.) per user account using LVE Manager. This makes it easy to manage shared hosting environments and ensure fair resource distribution among tenants.
• CageFS File System Virtualization
  CageFS creates a virtualized file system for each user, preventing them from seeing other users on the server, viewing sensitive configuration files, or exploiting server vulnerabilities. This adds an important layer of isolation and security.
• Wide Compatibility with Hosting Panels
  CloudLinux integrates seamlessly with popular hosting control panels such as cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin, making it straightforward for hosting providers to adopt without overhauling their existing infrastructure or workflows.

Possible disadvantages

• Additional Licensing Cost
  CloudLinux requires a paid monthly or annual license on top of the base server cost. For smaller hosting providers or individual server owners, this additional expense can add up and may not always be justifiable compared to free alternatives.
• Limited to CentOS/RHEL-Based Systems
  CloudLinux is built on top of RHEL/CentOS and does not support other Linux distributions like Ubuntu or Debian. This limits its adoption for hosting providers who prefer or already run non-RHEL-based environments.
• Learning Curve for Configuration
  While CloudLinux provides powerful resource management tools, properly configuring LVE limits, CageFS, PHP Selector, and other features requires a solid understanding of the platform. Misconfiguration can lead to users being unnecessarily restricted or resources being poorly allocated.
• Potential Performance Overhead
  The additional layers of virtualization, resource monitoring, and file system isolation introduced by CloudLinux can impose a slight performance overhead on the server compared to running a bare, unmodified Linux distribution without these controls.
• Dependency on CloudLinux Ecosystem
  Adopting CloudLinux means relying on their ecosystem for kernel updates, PHP patches, and security fixes. If the company experiences delays in releasing patches or changes its pricing/licensing model, hosting providers may find themselves locked into a dependency that is difficult to migrate away from.
