About LiteSpeed

About LiteSpeed License

Why LiteSpeed is the web server for Apache-replacement fleets

If you run a hosting business on Apache and want to handle more traffic on the same hardware — without rewriting customer applications or re-educating your customer base — LiteSpeed is the swap that doesn't require a migration. The Cheap Shared LiteSpeed License from sellerslicense.com is the standard entry point: Apache-compatible drop-in, reads existing .htaccess as-is, and handles 5 to 10x the concurrent requests on the same hardware. Your customers don't notice anything except faster page loads.

What you actually get in the Cheap Shared LiteSpeed License

A single license activates LiteSpeed Web Server on a Linux server with the full feature set: HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, event-driven architecture, PHP processing via LSPHP, and the bundled LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin. LiteSpeed Technologies maintains the software, ships updates through their standard channel, and your install pulls those updates directly from the vendor repo the moment they release.

Why LiteSpeed costs less than going direct

LiteSpeed Technologies sells directly with tier breakdowns by worker count and by WebAdmin vs. Web cache-enabled editions. We resell those exact same keys through the same wholesale channel and pass the savings through. There is no feature difference between what you buy from us and what you buy from LiteSpeed Technologies directly. Same key, same updates, same vendor-direct support contract.

Apache compatibility — the actual selling point

The reason most hosting providers move from Apache to LiteSpeed is not the speed alone — it's that LiteSpeed reads your existing Apache configuration, .htaccess files, mod_rewrite rules, and security rules as-is. There is no customer-side migration. You swap the server binary, restart, and your customers' applications continue to work unchanged. For providers running WordPress, Joomla, PrestaShop, phpBB, or any other PHP app, the migration is one service restart.

LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress

If your hosting customers run WordPress (and most do), LiteSpeed Cache is the highest-performance drop-in cache plugin available. Page cache, object cache, image optimization, CSS/JS combination, CDN integration — all built into one plugin your customers install with a single click inside WordPress. Combined with the web server itself, the layered performance stack is why most managed-WordPress hosts standardize on LiteSpeed. The plugin is included free with every Cheap Shared LiteSpeed License.

What ships with the Cheap Shared LiteSpeed License

  • The license key itself, delivered to your inbox the moment your payment confirms
  • Direct updates from LiteSpeed Technologies the moment new releases ship
  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support out of the box, no module installation required
  • Full Apache drop-in compatibility — reads existing .htaccess and rewrite rules as-is
  • LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin included free for every customer on the server
  • Access to the client area where you change the IP bound to your license and manage renewals
  • 24-hour online support staffed by real humans familiar with both the web server and how it integrates with cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin
  • One free server IP re-bind per license per billing period, no support ticket needed

48-hour money-back guarantee

Every Cheap Shared LiteSpeed License sold on sellerslicense.com comes with a 48-hour money-back window. If LiteSpeed turns out not to be the right fit for your operation, request a refund inside that window and we process it the same business day.

Who this license is a fit for

The Cheap Shared LiteSpeed License is the right pick for any hosting provider running cPanel, Plesk, or DirectAdmin on Linux who wants faster page loads, fewer timeouts under traffic spikes, and a WordPress cache plugin that doesn't require a separate purchase per customer. If you've outgrown Apache on the same hardware but don't want a customer migration, LiteSpeed is the swap.

Frequently asked questions

How fast is LiteSpeed compared to Apache? +
On the same hardware running stock Apache with mod_php, a Cheap Shared LiteSpeed License lets the same server handle 5 to 10 times the concurrent requests before response times degrade. The improvement comes from LiteSpeed's event-driven architecture versus Apache's process-per-connection model — LiteSpeed serves all requests from a small pool of workers instead of forking a new process per request. Source: litespeedtech.com/
Will my customers' .htaccess and rewrite rules work as-is? +
Yes. LiteSpeed reads your existing Apache configuration, .htaccess files, mod_rewrite rules, and security rules as-is. There's no customer-side migration. The actual swap from Apache is a service restart through the panel interface you already license — typically cPanel, Plesk, or DirectAdmin. Customers do not need to change their applications or migration runbooks.
Does LiteSpeed Cache ship with the license? +
Yes. The LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin is included free with every Cheap Shared LiteSpeed License. Your customers install it with a single click inside WordPress and immediately get page cache, object cache, image optimization, CSS/JS combination, and CDN integration. Most managed-WordPress hosts standardize on LiteSpeed for exactly this reason.
Does LiteSpeed run on Windows? +
No — LiteSpeed Web Server is Linux-only. Officially supported distros are AlmaLinux, Rocky, Ubuntu LTS, Debian, and CloudLinux. For mixed-OS fleets, run LiteSpeed on the Linux side and Plesk's web server on the Windows side. Source: litespeedtech.com/
Can the Cheap Shared LiteSpeed License move to a new server IP? +
Yes. One free IP re-bind per license per billing period is included, handled through the client area without a support ticket. A re-bind is needed when you migrate to a new server, change your server's primary IP, or restore after a disaster. Most customers moving once or twice a year never need to pay for a re-bind.
What are the LiteSpeed license tiers? +
LiteSpeed ships several worker-count tiers — 1-worker, 2-worker, 4-worker, and Unlimited — plus editions that bundle the LiteSpeed Cache plugin at different feature depths. The Cheap Shared LiteSpeed License unlocks whichever tier you choose after install. Most providers running small-to-mid shared hosting fleets start with the 2-worker or 4-worker tier and move up when concurrent connections exceed the worker pool.
Is HTTP/3 included? +
Yes — HTTP/3 (QUIC) support ships with every LiteSpeed license, no module installation required. HTTP/2 also ships out of the box. The web server handles both protocols transparently, and your customers' modern browsers negotiate them automatically. There is no additional configuration needed in cPanel, Plesk, or DirectAdmin.
Do you offer bulk pricing on LiteSpeed licenses? +
Yes. For multi-server and reseller operations, our wholesale tiers drop the per-license cost further. Open a chat with our sales team once logged in and we tailor the per-server rate to your fleet size. Bulk purchases also unlock priority onboarding and a single point of contact for your entire LiteSpeed fleet.
How does the 48-hour money-back guarantee work? +
When you buy a Cheap Shared LiteSpeed License from sellerslicense.com, you have 48 hours from payment confirmation to cancel for a full refund — provided you haven't activated the license for production hosting. After the 48-hour window, refunds aren't available, but you can transfer the license to a different IP through the client area.
How long does it take to migrate from Apache to LiteSpeed? +
The actual swap is a service restart — typically under 5 minutes of downtime in a maintenance window. The web server binary switches, your existing Apache configuration is loaded as-is, and customers reconnect. The migration includes any cached WordPress content in LiteSpeed Cache, which starts serving cached pages immediately on the next request.
LiteSpeed vs Nginx — which is faster for shared hosting? +
For static content, both are close — Nginx and LiteSpeed handle static files at near-line speed. For dynamic content (PHP, WordPress), LiteSpeed is consistently 3-6x faster than Nginx + PHP-FPM in independent benchmarks, mainly because LiteSpeed's event-driven architecture handles PHP responses without buffering. For WordPress sites using the LSCache plugin, LiteSpeed wins by another 6-12x because LSCache integrates at the server level rather than the PHP level.
Can I switch from Apache to LiteSpeed without breaking my .htaccess rules? +
Yes. LiteSpeed reads Apache .htaccess files natively — every RewriteRule, Require directive, and AddHandler from Apache works in LiteSpeed without modification. The migration is essentially 'install LiteSpeed, point your virtual host to it, test your apps, and ship'. Most hosting providers report zero .htaccess changes during migration. The few edge cases (mod_rewrite specific quirks, custom Apache modules) have LiteSpeed equivalents.
What is the difference between LiteSpeed and OpenLiteSpeed? +
OpenLiteSpeed is the free, open-source edition of LiteSpeed — same server engine, same event-driven architecture, same .htaccess compatibility. The paid LiteSpeed Enterprise adds the LSCache WordPress plugin, the LiteMage Magento cache, advanced anti-DDoS, and prioritized vendor support. For high-traffic WordPress or WooCommerce sites, LiteSpeed Enterprise pays for itself through LSCache alone. For static-heavy sites on a budget, OpenLiteSpeed is the right pick.
Does LiteSpeed support HTTP/3 and QUIC? +
Yes. HTTP/3 support (based on QUIC over UDP) ships built into every LiteSpeed license tier, including the entry 2-Worker tier. HTTP/3 reduces connection establishment latency, improves performance on lossy networks (mobile, satellite), and removes head-of-line blocking. Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) all support HTTP/3 negotiation, so visitors automatically upgrade to HTTP/3 if their network allows it.
How does LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress compare to W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache? +
LiteSpeed Cache (LSCache) operates at the server level rather than the PHP level. Plugin-based caches (W3, WP Super Cache) run inside WordPress — every request still hits PHP, gets serialized through MySQL, and only then hits the cache layer. LSCache intercepts requests before WordPress even loads, so a cached page is served without any PHP execution. The result is 6-12x faster TTFB on cached pages compared to plugin-based caches.
What are the LiteSpeed license tiers and how do they differ? +
The entry 2-Worker license handles small to medium sites on a single server. The 4-Worker license doubles the concurrency cap. The Unlimited license removes the worker cap entirely and is required for high-traffic sites, multi-CPU servers, or hosting providers running many customer sites. Higher tiers also unlock additional features like ESI (Edge Side Includes), advanced anti-DDoS, and increased connection limits.
Does LiteSpeed work with cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin? +
Yes. LiteSpeed ships official plugins for all three major control panels. Once installed, you can switch from Apache to LiteSpeed through the panel UI without touching the command line. LiteSpeed replaces Apache as the web server, but the panel keeps managing virtual hosts, SSL, .htaccess, and PHP versions through its native interfaces. The migration is one click from inside WHM, Plesk, or DirectAdmin.
Does LiteSpeed handle DDoS attacks better than Apache? +
Yes. LiteSpeed Enterprise includes anti-DDoS features that detect and mitigate layer-7 attacks automatically — connection floods, slow-loris attacks, request floods targeting a specific endpoint. The detection happens at the connection level before requests are processed, so legitimate traffic isn't impacted. For hosting providers whose customers have been targeted by DDoS, moving to LiteSpeed often eliminates the attack vector that Apache+mod_evasive couldn't handle.
Is LiteSpeed compatible with my existing WordPress sites? +
Yes. WordPress runs unchanged on LiteSpeed — no code modifications, no plugin incompatibilities, no theme rewrites. Installing the LSCache plugin (free) unlocks server-level caching that works with any WordPress theme or plugin. WooCommerce, BuddyPress, bbPress, custom post types — all work identically on LiteSpeed as on Apache. The only configuration required is to point your virtual host to LiteSpeed instead of Apache, which is one click in cPanel/Plesk/DirectAdmin.
How long does a LiteSpeed migration take? +
For a typical cPanel server hosting 50 WordPress sites, the migration takes about 30 minutes total: 5 minutes to install LiteSpeed via the WHM plugin, 5 minutes to switch from Apache to LiteSpeed through the WHM interface, 20 minutes to verify each site renders correctly. The migration is reversible — you can switch back to Apache through the same interface if needed. There is no downtime during the migration itself; the cutover is instant.
