How to Switch from OpenLiteSpeed to LiteSpeed Enterprise in CyberPanel

Before we discuss switching from OpenLiteSpeed to LiteSpeed Enterprise in CyberPanel, let’s examine their differences, the transition steps, and the implications of the switch.

OpenLiteSpeed vs. LiteSpeed Enterprise

OpenLiteSpeed is an open-source web server that is free to use and modify. It is ideal for personal websites and smaller projects that do not require extensive features or support.

Here are some of the features of OpenLiteSpeed:

• Open-source under GNU General Public License (GPL), free to use and modify.
• It includes a powerful caching engine for improved website performance.
• It supports Apache-compatible rewrite rules, easing migration.

Some of the limitations of OpenLiteSpeed include:

• It requires a restart to load `.htaccess` file changes.
• Also, it lacks advanced security features like DDoS protection.

On the other hand, LiteSpeed Enterprise is a commercial product designed for high-performance environments. It has advanced features and official technical support.

Here are some of the features of LiteSpeed Enterprise:

• It requires a paid license for production use, with a free tier for single-domain use.
• It offers advanced caching options, including LiteMage Cache for Magento.
• LiteSpeed Enterprise comes with built-in security measures for improved protection.
• It offers better protection against web threats.
• No need for server restarts when applying changes.

Who Should Use LiteSpeed Enterprise?
