LiteSpeed Web Server Reviews & Product Details

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.

We've recently upgraded our web servers to Litespeed and we're amazed at the difference in performance. We needed some support in ironing out a few teething problems and the team at Litespeed couldn't have been more helpful and supportive. They looked into the problems we were having and found a solution quickly and gave us instructions on how to resolve it. Big shout out to Jackson and Gary who spent time helping us.

What do you dislike about LiteSpeed Web Server?

I have used litespeed web server and have to say that it is fastest. i am also happy with how easy to install or configure. The only thing that bothers me is the backend panel, It needs to be more intuitive and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In the past, our team had to constantly manage server resources. i would see system usage spike regularly, need to boost up the resources and it would just continue to be a never-ending battle. We later on started using litespeed web server and was amazed at how smoothly everything ran. Which leads to increase website speed, It was a huge relief. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One-click cache acceleration feature is useful for server storage management using LiteSpeed"

4/5

What do you like best about LiteSpeed Web Server?

LiteSpeed gives me comprehensive config choices that make it all easy for reinforcing security & efficiency for our web applications. We can modify our web servers with all privileges without worrying about its license payments thanks to LiteSpeed. It provides a lot of scalability features and security governance for our databases during data transmission with SSL & TLS standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiteSpeed Web Server?

Its dedicated server is a bit costly when compared to its shared hosting server. One needs to evaluate the business requirement accurately and discuss with clients on their preferences. A dedicated server is useful only in cases where we need to maximize the performance without compromising the usage. 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.

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

LiteSpeed web server helps us build internal servers to publish web applications and also external servers for our clients. Since it's a user-friendly platform in which applications can be developed with open source tools, we can integrate specific tools for determining vulnerabilities, managing database applications and overview configuration management in our production environment. We can mention the object lifetime duration for our web server and make use of its one-click cache acceleration for improving the storage performance of our server.
