If server loads are "very, very low" then...neither?
Thinking towards the future - it'll be less work to go from:
(a) CloudLinux + Apache -> CloudLinux + LiteSpeed
than to go from
(b) CentOS + LiteSpeed -> CloudLinux + LiteSpeed
Changing web server is just changing a package...well, a bit more but a lot less work than changing the OS.
Thanks for your reply
Hmm.
Honestly, CloudLinux and Litespeed are products designed to solve products. Don't ya know the golden phrase "Don't fix what ain't broke"?
Cloudlinux is for isolation and litespeed for performance. If you have customers misbehaving, cloudlinux is the way to go. Litespeed is overrated IMO, the edge over apache in performance is not so big unless you work on a really-really big scale and in that case you should get it too.
CloudLinux is necessary to help prevent one client from abusing the node, but to be honest that will happen less often on shared hosting than VPS hosting.
I must also state that Cloudlinux and Litespeed are completely different.
I would have to disagree with that. cough Softaculous WordPress Installs are shit cough.
I think it is better to go with cloudlinux for now. Then once you start to have performance issues go with cloudlinux+litespeed. Litespeed is for enhancing the performance and I don't think you would need it for now considering you have very low loads at your server.
Isnt it all the plugins that make WP resource intensive?
CloudLinux and optimise Apache.
That and the fact that Softaculous (last time I tried it) defaults to 0644 File permissions. Meaning World-Readable. On a Shared Hosting server, that's not good. If ONE site gets itself compromised/defaced, then the REST will shortly after. CloudLinux with cagefs (magic right there) will help protect against that, but it's STILL a horrible default file permission.
nginx, FTW
