Not sure if this is the right category.. I want to know what makes a server speedy. My issue is, I tried about 6 servers the last 6 months.
Reseller Hostmantis (5$ a month)
VPS cloudcone 10 core 16 GB ram (50$) a month + cpanel (15$) + litespeed (30$) a month
VPS from a dutch guy, 8 core, 16GB ram, directadmin (70 a month)
Cloudcone VPS: 10 cores, 60GB ram, Cpanel + litespeed = like 70 a month).
Wpprovider (claims to have to fastest dutch hosting): 25,- a month.
Neostrada magento hosting (6 core, 8GB ram, cpanel = 20,- a month)
Believe it or not, but the freaking 5$ per month SHARED (!!!!) RESELLER (!!!!!) is the fastest of them all. And I really don't understand how that is possible. Is there anybody who can explain to me what makes a server fast? First I thought it was litespeed, so i bought a litespeed license for by VPS'ses. Then I thought it was the lack of RAM, so i went to Contabo with 60 freaking GB of ram WITH litespeed. And even that is slower if I 1:1 compare it with a 100% duplicated site on that Hostmantis reseller package...
Then a guy from Asia who tried to improve the pagespeed for a webshop copied the site to his dedicated server and the results were INSANELY fast. I asked him his config and he said:
2 X Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650
32 Cores
64 GB ram
2 X SSD Drive
He said he didn't had Litespeed, only Memcache installed.
Is there anybody who can tell me what makes a server fast? Is it the RAM? the CPU? The managing? The location? The LITEspeed/Memcached/Redis? And when does it make sense to get a Dedicated server instead of a VPS?
About me: As side job I build websites. Most of them very easy, 3 page wordpress sites with no visitors. I host about 60. They don't really care about speed, cause they are happy if there are There are some bigger clients (3 with a woocommerce webshop, 1 with a magento webshop) for which speed IS important.
What I would like is
THE FASTEST Server possible for my amount
At least 500GB SSD storage
Managed
Backups remotely (and something like JEtbackup)
Softacalous
Cpanel + WHM (100 accounts)
Budget: Under like 180$ for all (if that is anyway possible).
Is it really that great? Is it necessary?
On a dedicated server with cpanel/whm and 50-200 different websites hosted on it. (standard business sites - no gaming, radio, streaming etc)
Why should we add Litespeed?
Good evening, I have a dedicated server on which I installed Plesk (control panel) and Litespeed extension, everything works perfectly, except for Litespeed, more precisely, it is activated as the main web server but when I enter the database (PHPMyAdmin) the webserver is NGINX and I do not understand that it is not Litespeed if it is set as the Main Webserver? Does anyone know how I can solve this or has anyone had this problem before?

This current admin company is driving me insane! They are literally making my server worse...
I have lost so much money in production time of not being able to develop websites!
This sever is for basic business sites.
So I am moving this server from dedicated self-managed (with 3rd party admin) and now need a fully managed server.
This is just to host multiple websites. so we very rarely have issues on the server.
I need cpanel/whm
I am used to having multiple processors with multiple cores, but they are quite old, so maybe the more powerful processors can beat it?
It's an old server but has been a workhorse for development with no real issues.
i'd like the equivalent or better. Ideally under $200 month ($150 would be great!)
-- is this even possible?
who do you recommend? Any black friday/cyber Monday specials?

I'm a small business owner and developer since 2003. We have a few dedicated servers, each one with a different host. One of these hosts was sold and the new owner wants us to use a new server in a new location. We are considering switching to another host. This server runs some important client web sites, our own site, and web apps we're developing.
What we're looking for:
- unmanaged bare metal dedicated server, Intel Xeon 4c/8t minimum, 6 or 8 core preferred
- 16GB RAM, 32GB RAM preferred
- 1TB (or 960GB) SSD, 2 x SSD software RAID preferred
- FreeBSD 11 or 12 (our other servers are FreeBSD 11.4)
- $140/month or less (we're paying $130/month now for the current server, no SSD, 16GB)
- US data center, east coast preferred
Obviously we want a decent data center and good customer support but we also want a company who is going to be around for the next 10 years and isn't likely to be bought up by some Wall Street investment firm who doesn't care about the customers of the smaller hosting firms they're purchasing.
Hosts I'm researching:
- Vultr
- OVHcloud (the US branch)
- Linode
- Hivelocity
So far, OVH seems to have the exact hardware, price point, and data center but their billing system worries me.
If you have any experience with these hosts, good or bad, please share. If you work for one of these hosts, I'm open to offers.
thanks,
Robert
Hello,
This is my experience and review with RackNerd after 6 months.
My mind always play with me to buy the latest in technology, so
6 month ago i hired a RackNerd server with
this features, even without needing them yet.
Dedidated Server
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6x 3.60 GHz / 12 Threads
64 GB RAM
2x 480 GB SSD (RAID-1)
1x 1TB SATA HDD (Backup Drive)
40 TB Monthly Transfer
1Gbps Network Port
/29 IPv4 Allocation - 5 Usable IPs
INCLUDES: cPanel/WHM Metal License (Up To 100 Accounts)
INCLUDES: LiteSpeed Web Server Web Host Essential License w/ LSCache
INCLUDES: RackNerd 24x7 Full Server Management
This sunday my business went offline, supposedly due to
a power outage in the building, i ask for backup my sites in
another server for which i paid, and they said is not possible
due to unclear reasons.
Then I asked if they don't have power plants, the answer was evaded,
unfortunately they don't offer refunds and was my fault not to read that.
I've always liked supporting small businesses, but with these
dubious behaviors and policies, I don't think I will ever do it again.
their support is good, there were no problems during setup,
but they are not prepared for when things go wrong.
I can be sure that after the damage to my business,
they don't have a damage repair policy either.
So to my misfortune RackNerd hosting,
It is not prepared for me, nor for you.
Any recommendation will be appreciated
Hi,
litespeed's licenses have different Workers,
and kinsta's packages (https://kinsta.com/plans/?plan=visit...interval=month) have "PHP workers per site",
what are their difference ?
I seriously can't believe what I'm going through.
Back in 2019, I decided to purchase a RISE-3 Server for 1 year, paid approximately 1.6k EUR. Fast forward to 2020, I have been paying this server month to month ( I didn't renew the yearly contract and instead decided to pay month by month). All went smooth until this month when I decided that I no longer needed this machine.
For some reason, OVH is bringing up the contract from 2019 and demanding that I pay 1.6k EUR for the server until 2022, they didn't provide any resolution, only paying the bill.
What's up with OVH??? This is just messed up for a small company like ours, I simply can't afford to pay that right now and they are still telling me that I have to.
Hi friends,
Doy you have any method or article for we know monthly traffic and simultaneous traffic that will accept a server?.
This is the server's data:
-CPU: Intel Xeon E5-1650v4 - 6c/12t - 3.6 GHz/4 GHz
-RAM: 64 GB ECC 2133 MHz
-Disk: 2450 GB SSD NVMe
-OS: CloudLinux 7
-Web Server: LiteSpeed
I will host 1 cPanel account with 1 WordPress (nothing more) and I need know if can accept 10.000 - 15.000 simultaneous users.
Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
Hi there everyone,
I currently have a VPS that is hosting approximately 50 cPanel accounts (WordPress sites), and I want to upgrade to a dedicated to host more accounts/WordPress sites.
My question is, what should I focus on: Higher clock speed, or lower clock speed but more cores?
Specifically:
1. Intel Xeon E3-1240 V6 (3.70GHz 8MB Cache) w 32GB DDR4 RAM [4 cores]
or
2. 2x Intel Xeon E5-2640 (2.50GHz 15MB Cache) w 32GB DDR3 RAM [2x8 = 16 cores]
I can't figure it out. The more I Google it, the more confused I get.
Or should I just get a second VPS? The stats for my current VPS is 6 cores @ 2.60 gHz.
Thanks in advance!
PS. Some of the WordPress sites have minimal traffic if any at all, and some have 5k unique visitors per day. Cloudflare and caching is being used on all of them.
