LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) is compatible with commonly used Apache features, including mod\_rewrite, .htaccess, and mod\_security. LSWS can load Apache configuration files directly and works as a drop-in replacement for Apache while fully integrating with popular control panels — replacing Apache in less than 15 minutes with zero downtime. Unlike other frontend proxy-based solutions, LSWS replaces all Apache functions, simplifying use and making the transition from Apache easy while also allowing your team to move confidently with little-to-no retraining. * * * Seller [LiteSpeed Technologies](https://www.g2.com/sellers/litespeed-technologies) Discussions [LiteSpeed Web Server Community](https://www.g2.com/products/litespeed-web-server/discuss) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Lauren Song Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement \<1 month ### Return on Investment 7 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/litespeed-web-server/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![F5 NGINX](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "F5 NGINX") F5 NGINX 4.6/5(113) ](https://www.g2.com/products/f5-nginx/reviews) [ ![RunCloud.io](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "RunCloud.io") RunCloud.io 4/5(18) ](https://www.g2.com/products/runcloud-io/reviews) [ ![Lighttpd](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Lighttpd") Lighttpd 4.3/5(11) ](https://www.g2.com/products/lighttpd/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/litespeed-web-server/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 56 real user reviews.

One needs to evaluate the business requirement accurately and discuss with clients on their preferences.

For all other requirements, we can go with the shared hosting server itself as we don't need to worry about turning them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
