In a world of milliseconds, Hosted.com’s strengthened partnership with LiteSpeed Web Server is not just another technical upgrade—it’s strategic play against the shifting landscapes of web performance. As more users shake the spider web of contemporary web infrastructure with heavier applications, intense users, and growing security risks, Hosted.com has taken a performance-first architecture approach and does much better with less.
By embracing LiteSpeed on its entire hosting infrastructure, Hosted.com breaks away from the traditional process-intensive method of servers such as Apache. LiteSpeed’s event-driven design turns that equation around—supporting more connections using fewer resources and discarding the need to spawn a new process for each request. The outcome is a system designed for speed and scale without getting burned out on memory or CPU.
That’s not hypothetical. Benchmarks demonstrate LiteSpeed beating both Apache and Nginx at request handling, even during traffic surges. The integration delivers real-world advantages: reduced server loads, faster load times, and more consistent performance And it’s not just about moving fast—it’s about caching smart. LiteSpeed’s native caching system trims down server strain by reducing the need to generate content repeatedly, a move that’s particularly beneficial for dynamic sites like WordPress.
The company’s infrastructure choices back this up. The engineers tuned the hardware—from high-frequency AMD chips to DDR5 RAM and SSD storage—for speed. But performance without protection doesn’t cut it anymore. Hosted.com’s stack includes modern defenses like rate-limiting, ModSecurity compatibility, and built-in safeguards against denial-of-service attacks.
Hosted.com’s team has deliberately engineered its approach—not just to handle today’s internet, but to outpace it—which makes it stand out in an industry chasing bigger numbers.
