Plesk With OpenLiteSpeed Feature
Free version of Enterprise Litespeed, it would be nice to use lsphp+Openlitespeed+LSCache (free) within Plesk.

Okay thank you.
I do agree that it is about time that plesk makes it easy for us to use OLS... -

@Jonas Ibsen, there is a miss understanding. You can use Cyperpanel in multiple combinations:
- CP (openSource: https://cyberpanel.net/docs/installing-cyberpanel/) + OpenLiteSpeed = Unlimited workers, domains and ram
- If you use CyperPanel Enterprise + Litespeed Enterprise = Limitations as here: https://cyberpanel.net/cyberpanel-enterprise/And you can use both variations above with the cloud CyperPanel for central management of the Server andWordPress Installations
Differences between OLS and LE: https://www.litespeedtech.com/products/litespeed-web-server/editions
There is a small learning curve for the switch to CP and plesk is sure more mature and offers more easy options and a better UI.

EJ, but is still just 1 worker thread at 40$/mth, so really that big difference?

As Cyberpanel started to offer a Wordpress Solution (Beta and later paid extension) similar to Wordpress Toolkit in Plesk I dont see much reason to stay anymore with Plesk. I made the switch. Cyberpanel is free and open source, just the CyberPanel Cloud Manager is paid. But in the end way cheaper than Plesk + Litespeed Enterprise.

But check well before you switch. There is a big difference between openlitespeed and Litespeed Enterprise. Openlitespeed doesnt cache htaccess files, it also only reads RewriteRules and nothing else. So if you use anything else in the htaccess like addtype for headers or security measures (CORS etc), it will not work. At least OLS now seemingly detects htaccess changes and restarts in such cases.
I am still not sure if i should switch. I miss S3 like backups with CyberPanel (only AWS S3 available in paid version not something cheap like Wasabi), also i miss something similar like Wordpress Toolkit. And the few limitations of Openlitespeed might have an impact for some people. On the other side, the price of Litespeed with unlimited domains and RAM is expensive as ****. -

I have installed my server with that. Really nice. I will transfer all my Hostings to that server. CyberPanel ist really nice and so fast.

There is a open source version of CyberPanel (Its from Litespeed Technologies, so they try to hide it as much as possible to sell), it misses a few features like remote S3 backups. https://cyberpanel.net/docs/installing-cyberpanel/

No Problem ;) I try DirectAdmin and CyberPanel. CyberPanel is good, but expensive. The best solution is DirectAdmin. But i find this is difficult to setup and to controll. I have to learn someting in the next time

EJ commented
Thx for pointing out that other control panels support it, seems like its possible with DirectAdmin und CyberPanel. I will check both out if they fulfill my needs and if they do, i switch, Plesk is a lame duck, till they implement OpenLitespeed PHP 10 comes out. I rather switch the control panel than being stuck with hundreds of dollars per year for the normal Litespeed license (which is more important for me than Plesk itself, cause: performance)

The thing is, as an Indian (or from any other third world country) even those 5 euro per month cost us expensive. Please plesk team, consider adding this

I hope they will add this soon

Doesnt need to free. If Plesk sells a extension themself like for wordpress toolkit... 5-6 euro per month is still way way cheaper than what Litespeed asks for their licenses....

I think all pleskian's would be very happy if plesk would support not only apache, nginx as web server. We live in world where everything must be fast, but for now we can only buy extension for LiteSpeed server, but why we have to buy if we already pay much more money for plesk licences and Open LiteSpeed is free? Why this could not be option to be used as free option?

Please, we don't need to pay loads of money to use Litespeed to have such speed.
help us use openlitespeed instead. its 2020 btw. -

OpenLiteSpeed - "must have" feature, that allow to work some sites work 3x times faster.

zoz commented
I can't stress this more, please add this when you can, apache+NGINX is good, but OLS is way better.

Maybe the plesk dev team realises in 2020 that its time to give people a cost effective server with great performance and build in caching support for wordpress and many other CMS. Apache and Nginx are ok, but litespeed works with way less recources and can handle way more transactions. Right now i only have the chance to buy litespeed license to use it with plesk.... thats ridiculous expensive if you need more than 5 domains. Sell it as an extension but do it finally guys... right now litespeed gets my money not you!
