Better in what way?
I like both, both work well. But I use each for specific types of sites/servers.|| Need a good host?

Do you have any tests to back this up?
Anyway, LiteSpeed is the only option if you need something compatible with a common control panel like DirectAdmin or cPanel. It's also compatible with Apache-style configuration (.htaccess and httpd.conf). But if you don't have these requirements, nginx is definitely worth looking at.MediaLayer, LLC - www.medialayer.com Learn how we can make your website load faster, translating to better conversion rates for your business!

nginx definitely has positive points with the speed and efficiency that it is able to deliver content. If you really want to try and figure out which one is better for you, try the standard free version of lightspeed or the 15 day free trial and come to your own conclusion.

If you don't need to Apache compatibility, go with nginx. LiteSpeed is much faster than Apache, but nginx is light years faster than LiteSpeed.
This is the only benchmark I could find:

It's said nginx is much great for a single website on server, on the other hand, litespeed is better for multiple sites.

It's from a little over a year ago. It's not that old and it seems that not much has changed in the way of performance for both web servers since the time of the test.
Who says nginx is not great for multiple sites? Virtual hosts work perfectly in nginx.My personal blog -- rubiverse.net

Please, please... Not *another* pissing contest. There are *PLENTY* of "Is LiteSpeed/Nginx/Apache better" threads if you run a search where lots of people have performed direct comparisons and benchmarks.

To sum it up
- You need to reach certain level of high concurrency traffic to see the real benefits of Litespeed web server compared Apache standalone web server. If you're forums or site are a new startup with very little in the way of concurrent visitor traffic, then Apache standalone server (if tuned optimally) should suffice . Tacking on Varnish with Apache will make things even more snappier and most cost effective boost a step up from Apache standalone.
- My first choice for very high concurrent traffic sites and best performance = litespeed web server or litespeed web server + litespeed cache or litespeed web server + varnish cache. I'm talking concurrency levels in the 1,000-10,000+ range. If you don't mind spending hours, days and weeks at a time managing/configuring and learning about nginx and nginx's alternative rewrite syntax for Apache htaccess/mod_rewrite equivalents, then nginx is also a good to Apache standalone.

Both are good. You can choose any two.

meh... I quoted you to disagree but I realize you chose your words so carefully I can't... I just pick nginx because it doesn't have the same greed component that Lightspeed has... Might mean that someone has to know what they're doing... but for a long-term legitimate project, licensing costs matter to me... no matter how much the project makes... why? Because every penny is a part of my market advantage...
