LITESPEED WEB SERVER VS NGINX HOW TO
Yes long term wise once you learn Nginx and how to configure it, then probably it will pay off somewhat. Personally, if time is money to you, then while nginx is free, it's hidden costs is your time.
If you don't mind spending hours, days and weeks at a time managing/configuring and learning about nginx and nginx's alternative rewrite syntax for Apache htaccess/mod_rewrite equivalents, then nginx is also a good to Apache standalone. I'm talking concurrency levels in the 1,000-10,000+ range.
My first choice for very high concurrent traffic sites and best performance = litespeed web server or litespeed web server + litespeed cache or litespeed web server + varnish cache. Tacking on Varnish with Apache or Nginx will make things even more snappier and most cost effective boost a step up from Apache standalone. If you're forums or site are a new startup with very little in the way of concurrent visitor traffic, then Apache or Nginx standalone server (if tuned optimally) should suffice. 
You need to reach certain level of high concurrency traffic to see the real benefits of Litespeed web server compared Apache standalone web server or Nginx. Nginx configured properly can handle alot in terms of performance, but for php intensive sites I find Litespeed web server the next step up from Nginx (personal opinion based on my own experience).Īnd here's quick a history of discussion threads on Apache vs Litespeed, Apache + Varnish Cache vs Litespeed, Apache, Nginx and Litespeed etc (bur I am not sure about it)Litespeed web server works fine with any MySQL version, I've used MariaDB 5.2.x on Apache, Litespeed and Nginx (for project). I have heard that NGINX performance is so much better than LiteSpeed, and I think LiteSpeed is not compatible with MariaDB. However, switching from Apache to Nginx is a bit tricky and hard.Well the most important thing to me is performance. You can always switch to LiteSpeed web server later. One thing we can suggest is that if you are starting a website, Apache is most probably the best option for you. Each website has its own needs and you need to carefully compare and consider each web server’s features and choose the one that matches your needs the best. In the end, we can’t obviously tell you which web server is the best for everyone. 
There are lots of other amazing features about Nginx which we talked about them in the post about Nginx before. So they have a similar function in the security subjects. So this is a very popular web server for websites with lots of views.įortunately, both Nginx and LiteSpeed use ModSecurity rules and protect server from multiple attacks. The best thing about Nginx is that it can handle a high number of visits. Now let’s say some of the good features of Nginx. LiteSpeed web server and Apache can be controlled by control panels like DirectAdmin, cPanel and Plesk. Also one of the biggest weak points of Nginx is that it can’t read. LiteSpeed can read all the Apache files like mod_rewrite, mod_security but Nginx can’t do the same.
