LightSpeed

Im curious, is there much of a difference between the standard Lightspeed server. and the paid version? Like can you notice the difference when you are using it?

Depends really on how many websites you host and the content.

They have a trial of the paid version I believe, see what works best for you.

Standard version doesn't have throttling (thats limit_conn_req, and rate in nginx), chroot, a maximum of 5 virtual hosts from apache's config, no request filter, no disk cache, no built in ruby on rails, no geotargeting, maximum concurrent connections of 150 (paid version gets 500 from VPS license)(nginx can do several thousand concurrent connections per worker, hardware/software/network withstanding of course), no customizable access log, no multi-processor utilization.

Course in my opinion you can get most of those features with running the free nginx web server with php-fpm as the php backend. But course I'm bias, and it may not be as understandable for you to setup without some kind of control panel.

PS: the comparison of free vs paid is found here http://litespeedtech.com/litespeed-w...-editions.html

Yeah I would be putting this on my current shared server that has CPAnel. It seems the paid version has many more features that might be worth checking out, besides the cost that is

Now sure how you can install another web server onto your 'shared server' account... usually you can't do that if you're the shared hosting client (as opposed to a VPS or dedi customer).

Lol no, I run the dedicated server, which has my shared customers on it.

In a production environment I wouldn't go with the free license. For a personal/hobby server - go for it... It's more work to install and maintain but it's not a bad learning experience.

LiteSpeed, not LightSpeed.

I concur with this, especially since you would be getting support for that payment.

Ok thanks for the advice, also another question. When it talks about 1. 2 CPU s on the order page, is that cores, or separate servers?

usuable cores (ie: if you got a 4-core processor and want to utilize all 4 cores, would need a 4 cpu license.) Though it just seems like cheap skating to be charging per-core/cpu usage.

Wow that's annoying
