Purpose
LiteSpeed licenses the LiteSpeed Web Server, a high-performance replacement for Apache that is widely used on shared, reseller, and dedicated hosting servers. It is valued for speed under load, caching features, and compatibility with common Apache configurations.
Who It Is For
Hosting providers, agencies, and server owners who want faster page serving, built-in caching, and better performance under traffic spikes than a standard Apache setup.
Edition and License Metrics
LiteSpeed is listed in four tiers on this page: Base, 4 Core, 8 Core, and 10 Core. The exact vendor edition names and what each tier covers must be confirmed with the vendor before an order is placed, because the edition details on this page are unverified.
The tier labels refer to core-based licensing, but the exact metric has not been confirmed with the vendor. The labels must not be read as a statement about CPU cores, worker processes, or memory limits: [METRIC — TO BE CONFIRMED WITH VENDOR]. The applicable tier for a given server is confirmed with the vendor before an order is placed.
Supported Environments
Supported on Linux servers that meet the vendor’s current system requirements, including servers running cPanel, DirectAdmin, or Plesk. The server must have a clean, supported OS installation and outbound network access for license verification and updates.
Prerequisites
A Linux server with a supported distribution, root access, and a compatible control panel where applicable. The existing web server configuration must be compatible with LiteSpeed, and the server must meet the vendor’s current minimum requirements for the tier being ordered.
Billing Term and Renewal
Licenses are billed on a recurring monthly term. The price shown is a placeholder until the owner confirms it. Renewal continues on the same term unless the license is cancelled before the renewal date. There is no lifetime option.
Activation
Activation is handled through a manual fulfillment queue after the order is placed. The license is registered against the server’s primary IP address and confirmed once the vendor’s licensing system recognises that IP. Activation is not instant.
Updates and Support
Updates are provided by the vendor while the license remains active and in good standing, following the vendor’s current release policy. Access stops if the license lapses.
First-line support for billing and registration is provided by Offshore Hosting. Technical support for the software is provided by the vendor under its current terms. The exact division is confirmed at order time.
Transfer and Compatibility
The license is tied to the server IP address it was registered against. Moving it requires a transfer or re-issue under the vendor’s current transfer policy. Availability and conditions are confirmed before the move.
LiteSpeed is designed to be compatible with Apache configuration files and common control panels, including cPanel, DirectAdmin, and Plesk. Check specific compatibility against the vendor’s documentation for the installed version.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the Base, 4 Core, 8 Core, and 10 Core labels mean?
They are tier labels from the reference catalog. The exact metric they measure has not been confirmed with the vendor and must not be assumed to mean CPU cores, workers, or RAM.
Does LiteSpeed replace Apache?
LiteSpeed can replace Apache as the web server while reading existing Apache configuration files. Compatibility should be checked for any custom modules in use.
How is the license activated?
After the order is placed, the license is registered against the server’s primary IP address through a manual fulfillment queue. Activation is confirmed once the vendor’s licensing system recognises that IP.
