LiteSpeed Fully Featured Shared License
What is LiteSpeed ?
LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) is a proprietary, lightweight web server software that provides fast performance and resource conservation without compromising server security. It is a popular web server offering high scalability, security, and load balancing.
- Double your capacity and eliminate 3rd party caching layers with our Apache alternative.
- Securely handle thousands of concurrent clients while consuming minimal memory and CPU.
- Install LiteSpeed Web Server and replace Apache in 15 minutes with zero downtime!
When hosting websites, the web server software interacts with the server and decides how to load the website. The major problem faced by developers and digital agencies is website performance. A site that loads slowly creates a poor user experience, costing the business clients and ultimately the profit loss. LiteSpeed Web Server brings a high-performance feature set to solve this issue.
How License Limits Work
Domain Limit
The domain limit only refers to top-level domains. Subdomains are unlimited. Aliased/parked domains, which do not use their own virtual hosts, also do not count toward the limit. Any domains that exceed the specified limit will result in a 403 error (or, in cPanel and Plesk environments, will revert to Apache).
Workers
The number of workers in the license description indicates how many LiteSpeed processes will be spawned - the number of processes that do general server work. Examples of the work done include: routing requests, SSL decryption/encryption, caching, rewriting, serving static contents, etc.
RAM Limit
A server can have any amount of RAM up to the RAM limit for that license type. LSWS will share this RAM with all other processes like normal. Using a license on a server with RAM that exceeds the specified limit will result in an error.
Features of LiteSpeed Web Server
LiteSpeed Cache (LSCache)
LSCache is a built-in feature in LiteSpeed providing high-performance dynamic content acceleration. It functions via automatic page caching and scheduling to purge specific URLs. LSCache also offers separate caching for both desktop and mobile views. Enabling LSCache decreases page load times significantly, making it an all-in-one website acceleration solution. Plugins are available for most popular CMS platforms.
Zero Downtime Server Management
Zero downtime refers to your website going down or being unstable due to LiteSpeed. Other web servers experience downtime with software updates due to blocked connections. LiteSpeed eliminates this with its graceful restart feature for version management. Connections are not blocked, which minimizes downtime.
Handling of Concurrent Connections
LiteSpeed is brilliant in handling concurrent connections. It relies on an event-driven architecture, which makes it faster compared to Apache and its process-based architecture. LiteSpeed creates a new process for every connection and serves them with few processes, making it faster, able to handle more connections, and less resource-intensive.
Edge Side Includes (ESI)
Edge Side Includes (ESI) is a markup language that uses the ESI Engine. It allows you to split a dynamic page into small fragments and process them separately from the rest of the page.
Drop-in Replacement for Apache
LiteSpeed follows a similar configuration format as the Apache Web Server, providing compatibility with it. It is a drop-in replacement with no necessary changes in the operating system (OS) or Apache configurations.
Control Panel Compatibility
LiteSpeed is compatible with cPanel, Interworx, Plesk, DirectAdmin, and VirtualAdmin control panels.
ModSecurity
LiteSpeed Web Server’s security features are compatible with Apache’s ModSecurity feature set. This compatibility offers a significant advantage since LSWS works with mod_Rewrite, mod_security, and .htaccess.
Server-Level reCAPTCHA
Defends against Layer-7 DDoS attacks of any size
HTTP/2, QUIC, HTTP/3
Reliable support for new technologies before anyone else
Our Recommendation
When choosing a license, it's important to abide by any RAM and domain limits, but we also recommend the license have enough worker processes to make use of roughly 25% of your server's cores.
Free Starter: Designed for users with their own small sites, and for those new to LiteSpeed who want to give it a try.
Site Owner, Site Owner Plus: These license are aimed toward users with a few sites, or a single large site.
Web Host (Lite, Essential, Professional, Enterprise, Elite): These licenses are meant for hosting companies. We offer a few different options so there is one for every size and type of business.

Often, finding exactly the right license for your usage is a matter of trial and error. Different sites put pressure on different parts of the server. The best approach may be to purchase a license, then try upgrading or downgrading to see if it affects your service noticeably. You can upgrade or downgrade a Leased License at any time
A top command will reveal important information about how different processes are using server resources. (LSWS's process is called lshttpd.) A couple of these outputs are useful for determining if the current LSWS installation could benefit from access to more cores:
- %CPU - Generally LSWS's CPU usage is low. If LSWS's CPU usage starts climbing, and especially if it climbs while the overall load is low, it can indicate that LSWS is hitting a bottleneck and would benefit from access to more cores.
- %wa - High I/O wait can also be an indicator that LSWS needs more worker processes (and thus access to more cores).
If the %CPU or %wa values are very high, it is best to upgrade to the next license tier. Keep in mind that we allow upgrading/downgrading leased licenses at any time with no downtime.
LiteMage Starter and Standard both have limits on the number of cached objects they can store. To figure out if a higher tier of LiteMage is needed, check the current Cached Object count located under Cache Management in the Magento Admin Panel. If the total is either 1500 ( LiteMage Starter ) or 25,000 ( LiteMage Standard ), it is recommended to upgrade to the next LiteMage tier to support caching more/all pages.
