Hello everyone, everything good? I would like to know which web server is best for shared hosting, and which PHP mode to use.
 
If you run CloudLinux or LiteSpeed, it'd suggest using lsphp, else - php-fpm. I wouldn't suggest standalone nginx for shared webhosting due to lack of .htaccess support. OpenLiteSpeed is recommended WordPress/Joomla/OpenCart hosting (CMS that they have LSCache plugin for), as it lacks full support of .htaccess too, but should have no issues with mentioned ones, due to RewriteRules support in .htaccess.
 
I currently have phpls on an OpenLiteSpeed server without cloudlinux, do you recommend apache_nginx?

I currently have excessive RAM consumption, I would like to have good performance and low power consumption.
 
If it uses more RAM than expected - it might be a bug (worth reporting to OLS developers) :) nginx_apache can also be used, but php-fpm is still recommended there, if there is no CloudLinux.
 
For us nginx_apache + CloudLinux + lsphp work very well
Otherwise nginx_apache + php-fpm
 
Either Nginx + PHP-FPM or OpenLiteSpeed + LSPHP.
I use OLS and the performance is outstanding.
