[VPS Addons] Litespeed Webserver

What is LiteSpeed Webserver?

By default cPanel/WHM comes with Apache as its web server option; LiteSpeed is the step up from this, providing a more robust back end that can take more requests and concurrent load with much less effort. It acts as a fully licensed drop-in replacement and will seamlessly handle almost everything you would usually throw at an Apache server. Just more efficiently.

Main features of this product:

  • Double the maximum capacity of your current Apache servers: With LiteSpeed Web Server's streamlined event-driven architecture, it is capable of handling thousands of concurrent clients with minimal memory consumption and CPU usage.
  • Protect your servers: Utilising already familiar mod_security rules while also taking advantage of a host of built-in anti-DDoS features, such as bandwidth and connection throttling.
  • Conserve capital: Using LiteSpeed as your web server allows you to reduce the number of servers needed to support your growing hosting business or online application.
  • Reduce complexity: By eliminating the need for an HTTPS reverse proxy or additional 3rd party caching layers.
As users of this fantastic product ourselves on our own shared hosting servers, we can vouch for the performance and stability increase offered.

LiteSpeed Cache

LiteSpeed Cache is a powerful, high-performance page caching solution that is built into LiteSpeed Web Server. It is designed to significantly improve the performance of dynamic websites by caching the generated HTML content and serving it directly to visitors, reducing the need for repeated database queries and PHP processing. If you are using a CMS such as WordPress, Joomla or Drupal, there are dedicated LiteSpeed Cache plugins available that integrate seamlessly with these platforms. These plugins offer a range of features, including:
  • Page caching
  • Image optimization
  • Database optimization
  • Browser caching
  • CDN integration
  • Cache management tools
You can check out our other guide here for installing Litespeed Cache for your website:
