LiteSpeed vs Apache

[ZEDD]

HI!

I'd like to ask you for some information about the litespeed server I saw is used by simplehelix.com. People on various forums tell this is a server which suits the best for eCommerce, and company says this server is six times faster than Apache. Could you comment? Why, despite of being much faster, it is far not as popular as apache?

Probably as most people use a control panel they use the software out of the box for their control panel of choice.

There are a number of alternatives to apache that are supposedly better for certain types of usage. Lighthttpd, for example, is optimised for memory footprint.

For standard websites, however, there probably isn't much benefit

Litespeed is no giving much different from apache as far as my experience. I use litespeed previous but i dont satisfy with it.

I guess you're right. But since simplehelix.com is known as an eCommerce provider, I guess this server is better for eCommerce than apache.... But, this is only a supposition, might be not correct.

It's not correct.

Really? Why not?

Really? Why not?

It's a web server. Period.

THANKS GUYS!

I have found out something of this server software... Now the question is resolved. Thanks again for participation.

Knowing simplehelix I can suppose that they are so fast because of that webserver, so - If the speed is your criterion, take litespeed, if control panel selection widening - Apache. However litespeed is very good for hosting eCommerce deals.
