How to use 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. LSWS replaces all Apache functions but uses an event-driven approach to handle requests.
