Traditional Apache server is ruling the market due to their open-source availability and community support. 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: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/LiteSpeed_Web_Server\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LiteSpeed web server also known as LSWS is highly compatible with industry-leading control panels including cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, Cyber Panel. The best part about it is that it is openly accepted by cloud giants including Google Cloud, Amazon AWS, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are honored to share the official strategic partnership with LiteSpeed Technologies. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-choose-litespeed\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why_choose_litespeed\"><\/span>Why choose LiteSpeed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For very high-traffic websites, LiteSpeed can be much more efficient than Apache. Adding it to a server can allow it to handle the site traffic more easily without adding more resources to the server. 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. Additionally, for sites with the highest traffic levels, even a large server might not keep up well enough if using Apache. In such situations, switching to LiteSpeed may be necessary to work well and serve its purpose. LiteSpeed can also decrease overconsumption of the physical resources (RAM, CPU, IO), keeping the server&#8217;s load under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the official benchmarks published by LiteSpeed Technology on their official website (Higher the best),<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-white-color has-text-color is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-white-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#ae1b1b\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"778\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/wp-benchmark-litespeed.png\" alt=\"wp-benchmark litespeed\" class=\"wp-image-5356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/wp-benchmark-litespeed.png 778w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/wp-benchmark-litespeed-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/wp-benchmark-litespeed-768x448.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: LiteSpeedtech.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#ae1b1b\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/magento2-benchmark-litespeed.png\" alt=\"magento2-benchmark litespeed\" class=\"wp-image-5355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/magento2-benchmark-litespeed.png 780w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/magento2-benchmark-litespeed-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/magento2-benchmark-litespeed-768x443.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: LiteSpeedtech.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-cases-of-litespeed\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"use_cases_of_litespeed\"><\/span>Use Cases Of LiteSpeed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LiteSpeed is most useful for sites with very high traffic. Under these conditions, Apache (with typical configurations) would launch many processes to handle these requests. 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 &#8220;attempt&#8221; to handle more requests, that could put other daemons in danger, such as MySQL, if there isn&#8217;t enough memory left for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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. However, it may be more effective to split the accounts among more servers in these cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"compatibility\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"compatibility\"><\/span>Compatibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that <strong>LiteSpeed is not compatible with&nbsp;mod_ruid2<\/strong>. Due to how it changes the user, the web server processes run as, and is probably not compatible with&nbsp;mpm-itk&nbsp;(Not applicable to DirectAdmin) for the same reason. If you will be using LiteSpeed, it is <strong>recommended<\/strong> <strong>to<\/strong> <strong>set<\/strong> <strong>Apache&#8217;s<\/strong> <strong>PHP<\/strong> <strong>handler<\/strong> <strong>to<\/strong> <strong>SuPHP<\/strong> if using WHM\/cPanel or lsphp for DirectAdmin. 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). However, LiteSpeed&#8217;s built-in PHP handler should still cache Opcode correctly if suEXEC is in&nbsp;ProcessGroup mode.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kb-shortcode kb-shortcode_info\">\n                    <div class=\"kb-shortcode-icon\">\n                        <i class=\"fa fa-info-circle fa-2x\"><\/i>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"kb-shortcode-content_info\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> If Apache is not the bottleneck slowing down the sites, the impact of switching to LiteSpeed may be minimal. For example, if your sites are spending much more time waiting for MySQL queries to complete than for Apache to serve the pages or PHP to run the scripts, MySQL would be likely to require a similar amount of time to run the queries even if LiteSpeed is being used instead of Apache.<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"licensing\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"licensing\"><\/span>Licensing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LiteSpeed Technologies introduced the licensing based on the number of Domains, Worker processes and available RAM on the server. Also, LiteSpeed has some free addons (Example: Lite Mage) for higher plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our Managed VPS and Managed KVM Cloud packages, the cost of the license depends on the amount of RAM the server has. For our Dedicated Server packages, the cost of the license depends on how many of the server&#8217;s CPUs you would like to be used for LiteSpeed at once. Please feel free to contact the Billing Department either by email or by opening a ticket with the Billing Department from the Support Portal for more information about licensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"979\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/revised_ls_pricing-1024x979.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/revised_ls_pricing-1024x979.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/revised_ls_pricing-300x287.png 300w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/revised_ls_pricing-768x734.png 768w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/revised_ls_pricing-1536x1468.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/revised_ls_pricing-2048x1958.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"accessing\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"accessing\"><\/span>Accessing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cpanel-control-panel\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"cpanel_control_panel\"><\/span>cPanel Control Panel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For cPanel\/WHM panel, we use their official WHM plugin to do so.
