About

Gunicorn ("Green Unicorn") is a Python WSGI HTTP server for UNIX, a pre-fork worker model ported from Ruby's Unicorn project.

LiteSpeed Web Server is a high-performance commercial web server that can operate as a drop-in replacement for Apache, using the same configuration files and control panel integrations.

It uses an event-driven architecture to handle thousands of concurrent connections with low resource usage, supports HTTP/2, HTTP/3, and QUIC, includes built-in server-level caching through LSCache, and provides security features such as anti-DDoS protection and ModSecurity compatibility.
