LiteSpeed server

[samurai]

Thanks for guessing with me.

I do not think I've confused those two things, I have always been talking about LiteSpeed as a server software.

I can say that only information about its purpose is eCommerce guesses. I am to agree because simplehelix.com is really provider for eCommerce. And since I have never seen it anywhere else, including the other eCommerce providers, I may think so.
Or else, thins might be incompatibility of the LS with cPanel and what limits the control panels selection.
Maybe some other information of why hosts prefer slower Apache?

There are some Apache modules that are not support by LiteSpeed. Not all Apache scripts will work on LiteSpeed without issue or minor tweaks.

You're welcome.

I have recently read an information that litespeed of version 3.0 supports most control panels, including cPanel, so what version of this software has simplehelix.com? I do not think they will offer hosting at software which is out of date...

About why apache is more preferred - no idea...

Taurus, if I am not mistaken they offer DA. Yes the new LS seems to be compatible with cPanel and I believe cPanel did not accredit that.

As I have stated there are some Apache modules that are not support by LiteSpeedand as such some scripts does not work on LS.

We looked into Litespeed, it would be a great replacement for Apache 1.3, however could not find any performance comparisons over Apache 2.2 (which is supposed to be much faster).

It supposed to be an easy drop in replacement for Apache with cPanel, however I can't say I've tested it myself.

So, there is no point of getting LS hosting if there is a server based on Apache 2.2 or higher?

If I am not mistaken they offer DA. Yes the new LS seems to be compatible with cPanel and I believe cPanel did not accredit that.

Anyway, DirectAdmin is very similar to cPanel, so there is no problem of getting hosting from simplehelix.com...also considering they are faster than others..

Very interesting discussion here, must I say!

Hm... nice to hear that simplehelix.com has good speed connectivity due to its litespeed server. I have heard that it offers 100% applications compatibility and magento web hosting is the main focus. The thing is that my friend suggested me to host my e-commerce site with them. Any personal experience with them?
