LiteSpeed is the only high-performance Apache replacement compatible with hosting control panels
Enhance your web hosting environment with LiteSpeed Web Server, the only high-performance replacement for Apache that is compatible with web hosting control panels. Increase performance, security and ease of administration in your control panel-managed web server.
* Only LiteSpeed supports .htaccess with Apache compatibility.
.htaccess support is a mandatory feature for today's hosting environment. Many popular off-the-shelf web applications rely on it and it is the most common way to allow a user to change web server configuration without access to the main configuration file.
* Only LiteSpeed has a rewrite engine compatible with Apache mod_rewrite
URL rewrite is widely used in web applications. LiteSpeed provides you great convenience with Apache-compatible URL rewrite support. LiteSpeed allows the use of rewrite rules in a .htaccess configuration file.
* Only LiteSpeed has request filtering compatible with Apache mod_security
Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities have become a major security concern and new vulnerabilities are discovered every day. To counter against both known and unknown XSS attacks, mod_security rules serve as an important layer of protection. LiteSpeed is the only web server that can provide the same level of protection as Apache mod_security, with the ability to use the same rules but in a much more efficient way.
* Only LiteSpeed can work flawlessly with control panels written for Apache
LiteSpeed can be used as an Apache drop-in replacement for a control panel. Control panel features like account suspend/resume and bandwidth limit enforcement work exactly the same as with Apache.
LiteSpeed can be used as an Apache replacement server in conjunction with third-party hosting control panels. This technology is exclusive to LiteSpeed.
