(This is just an update on LiteSpeed as I had used it for the past few days) 

The more I use LiteSpeed, the more I am having fun with it. Aside from the significant performance and speed I had noticed with my websites, its ease of administration and configuration also made life easier for me.

Here are a few things I like about LiteSpeed:

• Real Time Stats – Instead of monitoring server and network resources related to my web services, I am now able to see things easily through the admin console. This allows me to easily make a health check, and do the appropriate actions much quickly.
• Awstats Integration – Now adding up Awstats for your web sites is so easy with LiteSpeed. You just have to configure it as an add-on to your virtual host, and then type in some required configurations, and off you go on analyzing your web site statistics.
• Upgrades – It may be true that updating Apache on Linux servers can be easily achieved using yum, apt-get, or up2date, but on LiteSpeed updates and upgrades are done on the web console. Not only that, you can also easily revert to old versions, if you somehow get into trouble with the latest version. Moreover, I really like the fact that my web server emails me if an updated version is available. Isn’t that cool!?!
• Servlets – I haven’t tried this yet and would discuss about this on a separate post, but Googling around suggests that integrating Java support on LiteSpeed is just a matter of adding it up as an add-on just like in the case of Awstats.

That’s all for now, and as I may say, LiteSpeed really impresses me.
