Our host seems to run into a lot of technical and security difficulties, so that's were my questions are coming from.

Our host states that they aren't able to get mod_ruid2 to work on their severs because they are running LiteSpeed.

Could someone maybe explain what wrong configurations of Direct Admin could lead to LiteSpeed server problems, or security issues, since mod_ruid2 enhances security, or visa versa, which LiteSpeed server configurations could cause problems for Direct Admin and it's security.
 
You already asked that question.

Please see Zeiter's answer in your original thread:

As far as I remember, mod_ruid2 was invented as an alternative for suphp if I'm not mistaken, to be used with mod_php. It's not really a security enhancement, it's a choice (choose suphp or mod_ruid2 for enhanced secuiryt when using mod_php), so for the mod_php system. Just like you normally don't use mod_ruid2 with php-fpm either.
Litespeed is not compatible with mod_ruid and is better not be used in combination with it.

It might be compatible nowadays, but it's not necessary to use, and even better not with litespeed.
