WHS panel vs. LiteSpeed Enterprise

When choosing hosting, you rightly wonder if the domestic solution can compete with the most famous and expensive systems in the world. The answer is that it can. Our WHS panel delivers a site as fast as LiteSpeed, one of the speed benchmarks in the world, and it also brings security and features that you often have to pay for or don't have at all with large commercial panels. Here is the evidence and concrete figures.

Speed on par with LiteSpeed server

We took the same store on the WooCommerce platform and built it in two places, without a single difference in content. The first copy runs on our WHS panel, the second on a server with the LiteSpeed Enterprise system and its built-in caching. Both copies are fully optimized, both use full page cache and Redis cache objects. We measured the delivery speed of the cached side locally on the server, on the heated cache, seven times on each side, with a break between measurements to make the result realistic and stable. The table shows median delivery times, in milliseconds.

The average after seven measurements is about five and a half milliseconds on the WHS panel and about five and seven tenths of a millisecond on the LiteSpeed server. Both platforms deliver the page in less than one-hundredth of a second, which is instantaneous for the visitor. The differences were within the limits of measurement uncertainty, with a slight advantage on the side of the WHS panel.

It is worth emphasizing under what conditions this was achieved. LiteSpeed was tested on a powerful dedicated server with significantly stronger hardware, while our real site ran on a cloud server with far weaker resources. In other words, our solution equaled one of the world's fastest systems even though it had weaker hardware on its side. That best says how efficient the WHS panel is.

Speed is not everything, security is at the level of the most expensive solutions

A fast site is only worth it if it is also protected. The WHS panel in the standard offer brings security mechanisms that serious hosting requires, and without additional payments:

• Built-in protection against DDoS attacks, which automatically detects the attack and blocks the source by IP address or by the entire subnet, with adjustable sensitivity.
• A direct connection to the Cloudflare network, which can automatically raise an additional shield globally in the event of an attack.
• A real-time malware scanner that checks every file as it's written and stops the threat before it takes root.
• A web application firewall (WAF) that filters malicious requests before they reach your site.
• Complete isolation of each account, where each site works in its own closed environment, so a problem on one account cannot endanger others.
• Advanced firewall and automatic blocking of intruders during suspicious login attempts.
• Outbound spam protection, with per-account control, to keep server reputation and your email delivery clean.
• System reinforcement and self-monitoring of services that recover themselves if they fail.

What the WHS panel offers that large panels often do not have in the standard offer

These are the capabilities that set us apart. With large commercial panels, for many of them you have to pay extra for expensive accessories or simply do not have them:

• Built-in protection against DDoS attacks with automatic detection and blocking, without the need for a special expensive service.
• Built-in Cloudflare integration that is activated automatically during an attack, which large panels in the standard offer usually do not have.
• A real-time malware scanner built into the system itself, while with large panels this is usually billed as a separate security package.
• Kernel-level execution monitoring, which monitors suspicious actions and abuse attempts in real-time, which is rare even with leading solutions.
• Full account isolation without the expensive separate license for the operating system, which the competition often requires for the same thing.
• Outbound spam protection and per-account limit built into the system, which protect the server's reputation and your emails.
• Page caching and a separate Redis cache for each account, ready out of the box, without having to search for and configure plugins yourself.
• Snapshots of your WordPress site for quick recovery.
• Support for the latest versions of the PHP language, up to PHP 8.5.

Conclusion

With the WHS panel, you get speed equal to the world's most expensive system and security at the highest level, on a platform that we develop ourselves and keep under complete control. This means a quick response when something is needed, constant improvement and independence from other people's price lists. Reliability doesn't have to be expensive. It is the default for us.
