Description of LiteSpeed Web Server

LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) is compatible with commonly used Apache features, including mod_rewrite, .htaccess, and mod_security. LSWS can load Apache configuration files directly and works as a drop-in replacement for Apache while fully integrating with popular control panels — replacing Apache in less than 15 minutes with zero downtime. Unlike other frontend proxy-based solutions, LSWS replaces all Apache functions, simplifying use and making the transition from Apache easy while also allowing your team to move confidently with little-to-no retraining.

ProxySG - A solid solution for running your own SOCKS5 webproxy

The main benefit I've seen is the ability to have a single server hosting both the proxy and the webserver. This is a big benefit to me because this makes the server more reliable and scalable. The biggest negative is that at the time of writing this review, it is still in beta. The documentation is very poor and I found myself having to read how-to guides from other people to figure out the configuration. I haven't had any problems with it, but I would think that in the future there will be…

Pros
  • Single box for all services
  • Easy installation process (from Ubuntu)
  • Fast deployment/decommissioning system using Ansible playbooks.
  • Very easy config file editing via CLI or web interface without needing root access if you want an admin account created before hand
Cons
  • There are troubles

LiteSpeed Web Server - One stop shop

Its user friendly interface makes it extremely simple to install and configure. I had zero experience setting up webservers prior to this project. The software was very easy to learn and use. It has helped us to save time and resources by not having to hire additional staff. I do not have any dislikes about litespeed. If you are looking for a simple web server solution that is easy to set up and configure, then litespeed is your best bet. We were able to reduce our infrastructure costs in half…

Pros
  • Very quick startup
  • Easy configuration with almost no learning curve required.
  • This can easily stand against paid competitors like Apache2 or NGINX without an issue at all once properly configured!
  • Excellent security features built right into product including blacklist feature which allows administrators keep track who access what pages
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
