What is LiteSpeed Hosting?
LiteSpeed Hosting is the latest and greatest high-speed performance kind of hosting that is hosted on a much faster web hosting server called LiteSpeed Web Server thus faster than Apache Web Server.
Why use LiteSpeed Web Server?
You should use LiteSpeed Web Server because it is the #1 commercial popular web server on the internet. The main reason for this is that it can handle concurrent connections, and serve static content as well as dynamic content much more effectively thus improving overall page loads.
The reason LiteSpeed is faster
The reason hosting companies integrate LiteSpeed with their control panels is that it can perform specific functions in a much more efficient and quicker manner. LiteSpeed can load websites much faster compared to alternative web servers. Works very well with WordPress and Magento.
High Performance Web Server
Being a high-performance Apache drop-in replacement, compatible with commonly used Apache features, including mod_rewrite, .htaccess and mod_security support LSWS increases performance and stability like never before.
Will I need to make any changes to my website or code?
LiteSpeed Web Server is an Apache drop-in replacement thus it is compatible with commonly used Apache features. Therefore, you will not need to make any changes whatsoever.
Does HostXNow charge for LiteSpeed?
HostXNow does not charge the customer anything extra to use LiteSpeed on any of their hosting services. Enjoy our Litespeed Web Hosting powered plans at no extra cost.
Is LiteSpeed also free with your WordPress and cPanel Hosting plans?
Our plans marketed as WordPress Hosting and cPanel Hosting and Reseller Hosting all include LiteSpeed at no extra cost to the customer to ensure 100% customer satisfaction.
A lot of our competitors overcharge their customers for LiteSpeed Hosting, but not HostXNow! We kept the pricing for our plans the same after including LiteSpeed years ago.
Can I use LiteSpeed with my VPS, Cloud VPS or Dedicated Server?
Yes, for an additional cost. Fortunately, we provide the cheapest pricing for LiteSpeed licenses. Ours costs:
LiteSpeed 8GB: £20.00 Monthly
LiteSpeed Unlimited: £35.00 Monthly
The reason why HostXNow’s LiteSpeed Hosting is faster!
Our LiteSpeed Hosting plans are highly optimised, blazing fast and have a much higher amount of server resources thus your sites will load faster than ever before! Because of this, we GUARANTEE your website will load faster at HostXNow or your money back!
HostXNow’s LiteSpeed Hosting features up to 60X faster page loads compared to traditional hosting solutions. So when you want LiteSpeed Hosting, choose HostXNow!
The reason server resource limits are very important
A provider offering LiteSpeed alone is not enough. You have to compare resource limits too. We offer up to a massive 8 CPUs, 12 GB MEM and 250 MB/sec Disk IO on Semi Dedicated Hosting plans, but some providers do not state such information which is misleading.
Our competitors mislead their customers because they want to charge them more. In reality, all the customer need is a more transparent web hosting provider.
Therefore, we suggest you compare the specs we offer to our competitors to see for yourself. We not only include LiteSpeed within the hosting plan at no extra cost but we include much more server resources. That is a big reason why HostXNow’s LiteSpeed-powered web server hosting plans are indeed the fastest and best value for money on the net.
Do not pay extra for Caching
A lot of providers charge their customers extra to use caching plugins like LSCache and LiteMage, but not HostXNow! This makes our hosting plans much better value for money.
Use cache plugins for faster application speed on LiteSpeed Web Server
Unlike other providers who charge extra for caching plugins, we do not charge extra. Therefore, you may use any of the following cache plugins for LiteSpeed Web Server for free:
- WordPress and Magento
- WooCommerece
- Magento
- PrestaShop
- Xenforo
Why page loading speed is so important!
A small 1-second page load can affect your bounce rate, SEO rankings and even your conversion rate in a negative way. You won’t have to fret regarding any of the aforementioned once you pick any of HostXNow’s hosting plans! Hosting on HostXNow’s LiteSpeed-powered servers with the optimised speed in mind and with your choice of server location, and free NVMe SSDs are all benefits of choosing HostXNow!

Should I buy a license directly from LiteSpeed or HostXNow?
Depending on your comfort level, purchasing a license right from LiteSpeed might not be the appropriate choice for you. Once you have the license, you will require hosting. You must install, configure, and manage your server yourself, or hire staff to do it for you.
If you’re excited to become LiteSpeed-powered, but you don’t fancy handling all of the aspects yourself, you might favour HostXNow’s LiteSpeed hosting. Take a look at our LiteSpeed Hosting plans at the following URLs:
https://hostxnow.com/shared-web-hosting.php
https://hostxnow.com/semi-dedicated-hosting.php
https://hostxnow.com/enterprise-reseller-hosting.php
You can buy a hosting package that covers just the right number of hands-on server configurations for your requirements. In other words, you can have total control by purchasing your own LiteSpeed license and using it with your own VPS or Dedicated Server, or you can let us manage everything for you by using one of the LiteSpeed Hosting plans above.
IMPORTANT: The software is included at no extra cost for all hosting services. The best-discounted pricing on this page is for existing customers who already have a VPS or Dedicated Server with HostXNow and would like to also use LiteSpeed on their own server hosted with HostXNow. If you do not have servers with us or we do not manage your servers via our cPanel Server Management or Outsourced Support services you will need to sign up directly at the LiteSpeed technologies website at the non-discounted price.
