Kloxo (formerly known as Lxadmin) is a proprietary web hosting control panel. It comes in two flavors: Kloxo Host-in-a-box is a lightweight solution which uses lighttpd and djbdns. It consumes 9MB RSS and 15MB memory usage on bootup on the OpenVZ platform.[citation needed] Kloxo Enterprise is a multi-server hosting platform capable of managing a high number of domains and servers.

Kloxo allows the host administrators to run either lighttpd/Apache or djbdns/bind and provides a graphical interface to switch between these programs without losing data.[citation needed] Kloxo Enterprise can transparently move web/mail/dns from one server running Apache to another running lighttpd.

Kloxo comes integrated with Installapp which is a bundle of approximately 130 web applications that can be installed to the hosted websites. It also supports Installatron - a third party application installer similar to Fantastico) as a plugin.

Lxadmin/Kloxo name change

Due to concerns about the appropriation of the name (Lxadmin) the name was replaced with Kloxo. There was an outcry from users as the name change involved a complete upgrade of file structures and it was about two weeks before there was an upgrade script for hosting companies. Even with this many chose to stay with Lxadmin for the moment.

Security issues

During June 2009, security related blogs and websites posted details of security loopholes in LxAdmin/Kloxo. These loopholes could help hackers to compromise clients. It is not yet clear whether these security vulnerabilities were the only reason why the servers of VAServe, an Lxlabs customer were hacked, resulting in massive losses of data.[1][2]
