Server10: LiteSpeed Installation Scheduled

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Dear clients,

We will be scheduling an installation of LiteSpeed web server on Server10 on Thursday, January 29, 2009 at 12.00 midnight (Los Angeles, CA time – PST).

There may be a small downtime when we are configuring LiteSpeed. This happens as we will stop and start services and will be checking on LiteSpeed’s performance and configuration to make sure it is fully optimized to run your website efficiently.

After the LiteSpeed installation is completed, you will notice a tremendous difference in terms of performance. Apache will still be set up on the backend on the server and it will run side-by-side with LiteSpeed. This will not only gives you the high-performance and high-scalability of LiteSpeed but also the reliability and compatibility of Apache.

Some features of LiteSpeed includes:-

  • Up to 9 times faster than Apache
  • PHP performance increases 50%
  • Best Ruby on Rail performance
  • 3 times faster than Apache in SSL
  • Anti-DDoS: Throttling & Connection Accounting
  • Recover from service failure instantly
  • and many more!

At Aspiration Hosting we will constantly upgrade ourself as well as our hardwares and softwares to make sure that your site will be hosted in the most optimum environment.

We thank you for supporting us all this while and we will make sure that we deliver the best service to you at all time.
