"LSWS Exceeds Expectations - A True Enterprise Solution"

5/5

What do you like best about LiteSpeed Web Server?

It integrates with cPanel and is a much better replacement. It a true Enterprise solution with heaps of configurable options. You can make this speed horse do almost anything. It's changed the game for all of our clients, especially the caching mechanisms allowing for excellent concurrency and user experience. The support is also outstanding whenever an issue arises. They also take feedback very seriously, which has allowed us to obtain features we needed. Honestly, we don't see another solution offered that could be better at this point in time.

What do you dislike about LiteSpeed Web Server?

There's not much to dislike about the product because it's stability and performance is substantially better than anything else we've tried. However, the licensing is a little confusing at first as there are several options and add-ons you can benefit from. However, the sales team has simplified our licensing needs with a bit of back and forth communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LiteSpeed Web Server solving and how is that benefiting you?

Latency and concurrency issues were our biggest performance setbacks. We did not like what Apache was doing for us in any form and it couldn't handle the traffic spikes our e-Commerce clients would see during big sales events. We needed a true Enterprise solution, so we ventured out for something better that was still compatible with cPanel, since that's our hosting control panel of choice. We also wanted something with more hands-on support than a free web server like Nginx. The greatest benefit of using LiteSpeed is that we are able to run more clients on less hardware, which has paid for itself and then some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
