I did look at the link but could you expand on what you said and explain why you think 2.4 will be so much better (I hope it is)

Apache is free... litespeed is not.... its faster

If you have the money for it, go with LiteSpeed. Much better load control and speed. Otherwise Apache works.

I'd definitely like to see vanilla Apache beat Litespeed!

Try Vanish, looks good to me

Unless you are hosting a few low-resource sites or make use of custom Apache modules then LiteSpeed is a very worthwhile investment.

We feel the small cost $14 for Litespeed is well worth the spend, just wish Cpanel would catch up and understand more hosts now use litespeed rather than tell you if you need their assistance to switch back to apache so they can help you.

We will have to continue with the apache untill cPanel, Plesk support it.

You mean like the EasyApache script they use?

We have some LiteSpeeds running here with cPanel without issue. It does require thinking outside the box and you can't use the EasyApache type script that comes with cPanel by default - but you can easily compile at the command level and have everything up and running.

LiteSpeed also has a cPanel plugin that you can use. A few clicks and a redirect and you're off and running in less than 5 minutes.

yes Litespeed runs perfect with Cpanel, but if you have any issues with anything that requires you opening a ticket with cpanel techs where they need to access your server, if they see you run Litespeed they will ask you to swich to Apache before they can assist as they dont support Litespeed systems

Apache + varnish.....why?

when i was testing varnish and apache showed lower load on the server and the page's loaded faster ( i was testing with loadimpact.com 50 user simultaneous rampup from 10 users)
