"Insane speed results, and excellent support"
What do you like best about LiteSpeed Web Server?

My wordpress site is now ridiculously fast. I click on a page and it loads instantly. Not like... a second of waiting and it pops up, it loads INSTANTLY. I don't even understand how it's possible, considering how slow my site was before.

Additionally, all of the support guys are very cool, and very patient. They often go above and beyond the normal scope of support in order to help me with whatever I'm working on. My site is complex... but they have managed to help me simplify it.

I'm actually downsizing my server after getting this set up. I don't use a fraction of the server resources that I did before. This is saving me like $100/month on my Amazon EC2 instance.

I'm really glad that I found Litespeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiteSpeed Web Server?

I honestly have no complaints. If I HAD to think of something to complain about, it's that I can't manage everything through Plesk. I have my plesk panel, and I have a separate Litespeed panel.

It's really not a big deal at all, but apparently this is a required field and I have to enter something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Boosting Online Productivity - Analyzing LiteSpeed Web Server"
What do you like best about LiteSpeed Web Server?

Through its lightning-fast speed, lower server load, improved security, WordPress integration, ease of migration, and broad compatibility, LiteSpeed Web Server is the complete package.

It's the key to enhancing our websites and making our visitors happy.

Custormer support is good from my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiteSpeed Web Server?

Unlike free alternatives like Apache, LiteSpeed has a cost, possible that not everyone can afford this.

Little support from the community, finding assistance could be more difficult with LiteSpeed as there isn't as large of a support group as there is with other servers in case of issues.

Intergration with other software is difficult and thus has a learning curve element. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"LiteSpeed is in a league of their own."
What do you like best about LiteSpeed Web Server?

I have tried every caching tool out there, and in my opinion, LiteSpeed is miles ahead of everyone else.

I have been using them for years to power multiple servers and it's an absolute necessity.

Here are some points that stood out for me:

- Running a LiteSpeed servers is miles faster than a conventional Apache server.

- The WordPress plugin offers tremendous control.

- They operate a CDN called: Quic.cloud which does dynamic Wordpress caching (and can be used alongside CloudFlare). Another layer of performance ontop of caching.

- Support is stellar. They help via email and Slack.

It's honestly a complete caching performance solution. Having one team all behind the server, caching and CDN really provides an incredible advantage!

I think you can try it out for free for 15 days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiteSpeed Web Server?

With great power comes great complexity. They do have some pretty great presets, but to have the engine running on max, some technical expertise is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The software transformed the entire web hosting industry"
What do you like best about LiteSpeed Web Server?

LiteSpeed Web Server is a user-friendly solution that is suitable for both beginners and experts. It has excellent technical support that provides prompt and knowledgeable solutions for any issues that may arise. One of the standout features of LiteSpeed is its ability to increase account density on commodity servers, which means that more websites can be hosted without sacrificing performance, reducing costs. It's the de-facto software that we install on a new node since it is a drop-in replacement for Apache and has a nearly zero administration burden. Overall, it's an excellent web server solution that balances performance, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness, making it a valuable asset for any web hosting needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiteSpeed Web Server?

I cannot think of any negative aspects of Litespeed. However, it would be beneficial to add more detailed monitoring options for the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
