Hello Delaney,

LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) has some security features not present in Apache, which may make it more secure in some scenarios. Some of the security features of LSWS include the following:


Anti-DDoS features: LSWS includes built-in protection against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, which can help prevent server overload and ensure site availability.

ModSecurity integration: LSWS integrates with ModSecurity, an open-source WAF that provides additional protection against web-based attacks.

Real-time malware scanning: LSWS can scan files in real time for malware, which helps prevent malicious code from being executed on the server.

Improved PHP performance: LSWS is optimized for PHP, which can improve website performance and reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities caused by outdated PHP versions.

LSWS provides several security benefits over Apache, making it a popular choice for web hosting providers and website owners who prioritize security.
