I'm also a little confused about how to budget for Litespeed.
+1.. totally agree these days a 5 generations older single quad core E3-1230v1 is already as fast as the ancient dual intel xeon 54xx/55/xx processor setups and even those old Xeon X34xx series and those ancient processors were able to handle 100,000s of unique visitors/day depending on LAMP/LEMP stack setups and web apps used.When I got started in the hosting industry 20 years ago, we would host 500+ accounts on a Pentium IV with just a couple gigs of RAM. Things have obviously changed a ton since then, PHP-based sites, database-heavy sites, etc., but you would still be amazed by what some of these new servers can do. A lot of times, the servers people buy are simply overkill for the traffic they receive.
You don't have to rent, you can also owe a license and pay a yearly fee to keep receiving updates.I'm also a little confused about how to budget for Litespeed.
I already pay over $200/mo for the current server. I guess I could see about downgrading a little and using some of that $$ for litespeed.
