While the server is in Apache mode and running SuPHP, Opcode caching (such as Zend OPCache) would no longer work (and for this reason, all Opcode cachers should be removed while Apache and SuPHP are in use). If you will be using LiteSpeed, it is recommended to set Apache’s PHP handler to SuPHP if using WHM/cPanel or lsphp for DirectAdmin. Due to how it changes the user, the web server processes run as, and is probably not compatible with mpm-itk (Not applicable to DirectAdmin) for the same reason. It is important to note that LiteSpeed is not compatible with mod_ruid2. However, it may be more effective to split the accounts among more servers in these cases. LiteSpeed can also help somewhat in a server with many sites of low to medium traffic if there are enough sites that even this amount of traffic causes a high server load. Each of these processes would take up some of the CPU time and some of the memory, so even if some of the limits are set higher to allow Apache to “attempt” to handle more requests, that could put other daemons in danger, such as MySQL, if there isn’t enough memory left for them. Under these conditions, Apache (with typical configurations) would launch many processes to handle these requests.
LiteSpeed is most useful for sites with very high traffic. Here are the official benchmarks published by LiteSpeed Technology on their official website (Higher the best),
LiteSpeed can also decrease overconsumption of the physical resources (RAM, CPU, IO), keeping the server’s load under control. In such situations, switching to LiteSpeed may be necessary to work well and serve its purpose. Additionally, for sites with the highest traffic levels, even a large server might not keep up well enough if using Apache. Since, depending on the size of the server, adding LiteSpeed can sometimes cost less than moving to a higher tier server plan (subject to analysis of requirements), it can be worth considering. Adding it to a server can allow it to handle the site traffic more easily without adding more resources to the server. At KnownHost, we offer LiteSpeed licenses as addons you can simply add it while placing a new order of Managed Services and Unmanaged Services or get in touch with our team for the after-sales purchase.įor very high-traffic websites, LiteSpeed can be much more efficient than Apache. We are honored to share the official strategic partnership with LiteSpeed Technologies. The best part about it is that it is openly accepted by cloud giants including Google Cloud, Amazon AWS, etc.
LiteSpeed web server also known as LSWS is highly compatible with industry-leading control panels including cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, Cyber Panel. Still, LiteSpeed is the competitive web server available in the market, estimated to be used by approximately 10% of websites as per July 2021 data (Source: Wikipedia). Traditional Apache server is ruling the market due to their open-source availability and community support. LiteSpeed is an enterprise web server solution offered to accelerate web application performance.
