Litespeed web server cpanel7/2/2023 ![]() In 2007, LiteSpeed Web Server became LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise and was configured to be an Apache drop-in replacement. On July 1, 2003, LiteSpeed Web Server was officially released as a full-featured web server. LiteSpeed Technologies was founded in early 2002 by a team of engineers led by George Wang. LSWS replaces all Apache functions, but uses an event driven approach to handle requests. LSWS can load Apache configuration files directly and works as a drop-in replacement for Apache while fully integrating with popular control panels. LSWS is compatible with commonly-used Apache features, including mod_rewrite. Īccording to latest Netcraft web server survey, LiteSpeed never grew upon 3% of global market shares. As of April 2020, LSWS was used by 69.3% of websites using QUIC and 47.6% of websites using HTTP/3. In 2017, a team from Hong Kong Polytechnic University found it to be one of the six most popular web servers, and it was estimated by a team at RWTH Aachen University to be running 9.2% of all HTTP/2-enabled websites. In November 2016, LiteSpeed's market share grew from 0.39% to 3.29%, increasing its position from 10th to 4th most popular web server according to Netcraft. LSWS was released in 2003, and in August 2008 it became the 16th most popular web server. An open source variant is also available. The software uses the same configuration format as Apache HTTP Server and is compatible with most Apache features. LSWS is developed by privately held LiteSpeed Technologies. It is the 4th most popular web server, estimated to be used by 10% of websites as of July 2021. LiteSpeed Web Server ( LSWS) is proprietary web server software.
