LiteSpeed OR .... ???

[Mecho]

Hi Guys ,

I'm wondering to know that Litespeed is better or Apache with Nginx and Sphinx Search ?

most of the sites hosted on this dedi server is based on searches.

Thanks in advance

yes?

Apache & nGinx

Litespeed still has to many bugs and issues especially with mod php, re-write, mod security and other various things.

I mean if your a tech guru and know your way around a server than by all means go for it. But i prefer a hardened apache and optimized nginx setup

imo and tbh lsws is not worth the money when you get the same performance from nGinx

Dlow , i have heard that nGinx needs to be monitored all the time and needs to be written very well .

as i'm not good in these things , do u think is it possible to set it up well and just leave it and server works well ?

@ Mecho

Yes how ever its the same for lsws out of the box its crap and needs to be configured for performance just like nGinx,

Send me a pm maybe i can help you out with server administration or something or advice

Nginx + Apache or Varnish + Apache will perform much better than LiteSpeed alone, if configured properly.

+1 Apache - Nginx

Great , thanks guys .

Any good guide for it for newbies ?

We have successful experience with nginx setups. So I'd go with it.

You can try Cherokee and Lighttpd too, they are good.

 

[DLow]

I can configure apache/nginx for you

Litespeed is at the bottom of my list.

Nginx, lighttpd, both perform similarly.
Apache2 isn't too much worse.

My favourite by far has to be nginx, really nice to work with and allows for complex configurations.

It is very fast. In most cases you would not notice a difference between nginx and lighttpd in terms of speed.

Apache powered by nGinx <3

Apache vs nginx vs lighttpd (And Cherokee!)
