Hi,
HOSTAFRICA has been offering LiteSpeed hosting on a per domain basis for quite some time.
We're happy to announce we now offer reseller hosting (Multi-domain hosting plans) that includes LiteSpeed caching.
What is LiteSpeed?
LiteSpeed is a replacement for the Apache web service that most servers use to serve your websites' content to your audience.
What is the advantage of LiteSpeed?
LiteSpeed is benchmarked to work exponentially better than Apache in serving website content out-of-the-box, with quicker first byte, and first paintable content. This is good for your website and your audience, as most search engines rely on the performance of your website as an indicator of its quality. This translates into better ranking within search results.
Viewers of your website will also enjoy quicker responses and will be less tempted to navigate away from a slow loading site.
In addition to the optimised web server, LiteSpeed also has server level, in-memory* caching, built into the service, which works natively with most popular website systems such as WordPress, Joomla, and Magento, to name a few.
Why is this caching better?
- Full-featured caching plugins provided for free,
- allows granular control of your websites caching rules, time to expiry, and excluded pages,
- The caching is content aware and will serve new content when made available.
- Pre-fetch caching is also an option, meaning new content won't slow down your viewers' experience.
Where can I see these hosting plans?
