If you’re running a hosting server and you’re still using Apache as your web server, you’re leaving serious performance on the table. Every website on your server is loading slower than it should and in 2026, slow websites cost you clients, cost your clients Google rankings, and cost everyone money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

LiteSpeed is the solution. And at Tremhost<\/strong>, you can get a fully licensed LiteSpeed web server for as little as $5\/month<\/strong> a fraction of what you’d pay anywhere else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What Is LiteSpeed Web Server?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) is a high performance, commercial web server built as a direct drop-in replacement for Apache. It runs on the same server, uses the same configuration files, and is compatible with cPanel \u2014 but it delivers dramatically superior performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

LiteSpeed was built from the ground up with speed, efficiency, and scalability in mind. The result is a web server that handles more traffic, serves pages faster, and uses fewer server resources than Apache \u2014 all at the same time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\n
\n

3x Faster Than Apache for SSL<\/strong>
\nHTTPS is now mandatory for every serious website. LiteSpeed handles SSL connections 3 times faster than Apache \u2014 meaning secure websites load faster on LiteSpeed servers than they ever could on Apache.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

What Does a LiteSpeed License Cost Officially?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Official LiteSpeed pricing varies by the number of worker processes which determines how much concurrent traffic your server can handle. Official pricing starts at around $20\u201330\/month<\/strong> for entry level licenses and climbs significantly for higher worker counts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

For a hosting provider already paying for cPanel, CloudLinux, and Imunify360, adding $20\u201330\/month for LiteSpeed pushes total licensing costs to uncomfortable levels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Tremhost solves that problem completely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
