I've been hearing things lately about the LiteSpeed webserver as being a drop-in replacement for Apache webserver. Even my web host is going to replace their shared webhost environment with LiteSpeed (I'm currently not sure if I must be happy about that or not).
Does anyone have any experience with the LiteSpeed webserver (both in development and production)? It would be appreciated if you could share your experience here.
What i believe is that the LiteSpeed is more productive than apache, while it can handle too many connections without loosing the performance of the site operation.
but i'm still learning about it before deciding to use it :)
i hope this answer find your satisfiction.
Apache can be configured to run as well as Litespeed. Your host is probably taking the lazy way out. There's this benchmark where Apache beats Litespeed (with some help). Check it out: Apache vs Litespeed
