Comment to 'Is Litespeed Beneficial? '
  • Fine tuning of software is necessary if you have more than average users online. Cem already sent link to post with some example of server configuration which should work better than default settings at least for most servers.

    Regarding your hardware - I think it's better to have SSD disks, if you are going to use a lot of space you can use Amazon S3 to storage site data, then your site storage will be needed mostly for the database.

    Then you can convert your database from MyISAM to InnoDB - https://una.io/cmts.php?sys=bx_forum&id=3139&cmt_id=13128 

    • Was going to use remote storage but I like to be in control of the content on my site. With privacy being an ever growing concern I just rather keep full control of all content in and out. Would converting the database still be beneficial? May be something I give a try when I have some time, so thanks for pointing it out.
