Swap Apache in 15 minutes.

LiteSpeed Web Server understands Apache's configuration natively. Point it at your existing setup, switch the engine and your sites keep working — only faster.

How it works

Three Steps To A Faster Server

01

Install alongside Apache

LiteSpeed installs next to your existing Apache — nothing is removed or rewritten.

02

Switch the engine

Stop Apache and start LiteSpeed with one command or one click in your control panel.

03

Keep everything

Virtual hosts, rewrite rules, SSL certificates and panel workflows stay the same.

Compatibility

What LiteSpeed Reads From Apache

  • httpd.conf and included virtual host configuration
  • .htaccess files, including mod_rewrite rules
  • mod_security rule sets
  • Apache-style environment and handler directives
  • Control panel-generated configuration on cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin
switch.shbash
# switch from Apache to LiteSpeed
$ /usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/cp_switch_ws.sh lsws
 
# roll back at any time
$ /usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/cp_switch_ws.sh apache
Why switch

Same Configuration, Better Results

Lower server load

Handle the same traffic with a fraction of the CPU and memory Apache needs.

Built-in cache

Activate LSCache for full-page caching without adding Varnish or another layer.

More protection

Gain anti-DDoS throttling and brute-force defence the moment you switch.
