We’ve been building websites and providing SEO services for over 10 years and during this time we’ve experienced some of the worst web hosting around, so we know how painful it can be.
LiteSpeed Enterprise Web Server beats them all!
We’ve tried and tested shared hosting, VPS, fully dedicated servers, cloud hosting, Apache, Nginx, OpenLiteSpeed and just about every other option going.
As a website or business owner, the choice of which hosting platform to use may not be of much interest, but according to W3Techs, standard Apache servers power more than 30% of websites and are used by more websites than any other hosting platform.
But is it the fastest? LiteSpeed WordPress hosting is reported as 84 x faster than Apache and 12 x faster than Nginx.

What makes LiteSpeed hosting faster than standard hosting?
LiteSpeed is a web server technology specifically designed for speed and efficiency. It processes requests significantly faster than traditional Apache servers while using fewer system resources. The built-in caching engine (LSCache) is one of the most advanced available. For WordPress and WooCommerce sites in particular, the performance gains are immediately noticeable in faster page load times, better Core Web Vitals scores, and a smoother experience for visitors.
Is LiteSpeed hosting compatible with our existing website?
Yes. LiteSpeed is fully compatible with Apache, which means any website that currently runs on standard shared or VPS hosting can switch to LiteSpeed without any code changes. This includes sites built on WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Joomla, Drupal, and most other CMS platforms. We handle the migration process end to end, including DNS configuration, SSL setup, and testing.
How much does LiteSpeed hosting cost per month?
Our LiteSpeed hosting plans start from a very affordable monthly fee for standard brochure and small business sites. More resource-intensive sites may need a larger hosting allocation, which we'll quote based on your requirements. All plans include UK-based servers, hourly off-site backups, SSL certificates, cPanel access, and our proactive monitoring. There are no surprise fees or hidden charges.
What are your uptime guarantees?
We target 99.9% uptime across all of our hosting plans. Our servers are monitored around the clock, and we have automated alerts in place so that any downtime is detected and responded to immediately — often before clients even notice an issue. All plans include hourly off-site backups, so if something does go wrong, we can restore your site quickly with minimal data loss. If you have specific uptime requirements, for example for a high-traffic eCommerce store or a business-critical application, get in touch and we'll discuss the most appropriate hosting solution for your needs.
