What do you do?<\/p><p>In this scenario, VPS is often seen as the next logical step. That said, its time-consuming setup and steep learning curve often scare users away from upgrading to this type of hosting.<\/p><p>To overcome that, we&rsquo;re introducing our OpenLiteSpeed VPS templates, which come with a pre-installed CMS of your choice &ndash; WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal. They let you enjoy the powerful performance of a virtual server and the user-friendliness of a CMS.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-of-a-vps-and-a-cms-in-one-package\">The Best of a VPS and a CMS in One Package<\/h2><p>With <a href=\"\/vps-hosting\">virtual server hosting<\/a>, you can get plenty of resources to grow your website without paying a fortune.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The catch is, managing a VPS can be complicated. For one, server management knowledge is necessary to configure it properly. Otherwise, you may risk making your website vulnerable to security threats.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Even with some technical experience, the setup may consume much of your precious time &ndash; which could be a hassle for a freelancer or business owner.<\/p><p>Our OpenLiteSpeed VPS templates with CMS solve these problems and then some. Their operating system, software, and security settings are <strong>pre-configured <\/strong>for the CMS, so they&rsquo;re optimized out of the box.<\/p><p>This makes VPS templates an <strong>ideal solution for anyone running multiple servers<\/strong>. You can replicate them so that each server has the same setup, making server management much easier.&nbsp;<\/p><p>OpenLiteSpeed itself is a <strong>lightweight and high-performance web server<\/strong> designed to handle large amounts of visitors easily. Using it, your site will have a much more stable connection, even during traffic spikes.<\/p><p>Best of all, OpenLiteSpeed is <strong>highly secure<\/strong>. Its anti-DDoS protection, bandwidth throttling, and ModSecurity V3 web application firewall offer robust protection against malicious attacks and hacking attempts.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Our VPS templates also include easy SSL certificate installation and automated script deployment. In a regular VPS, you will need to do these processes manually.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Currently, our OpenLiteSpeed VPS templates are available for the following CMSs:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>WordPress. <\/strong>The most popular CMS on the market, famous for its intuitiveness and wide range of plugins.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Joomla. <\/strong>A flexible platform with built-in multilingual support and advanced user management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drupal. <\/strong>A website-building software known for its top-notch security.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Each VPS template includes an automatic software installer, letting you set up the CMS in one click. They also come with pre-installed themes and extensions so you can get creative with the site.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-litespeed-cache-the-key-to-peak-wordpress-performance\">LiteSpeed Cache: The Key to Peak WordPress Performance<\/h2><p>For WordPress users, ease of setup is only the tip of the iceberg. The OpenLitespeed VPS template offers a major speed enhancement for your website right out of the box.<\/p><p>The template automatically installs the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/litespeed-website-optimization-tool\">LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress (LSCWP)<\/a> &ndash; a server-level caching plugin. Reports show that pairing OpenLiteSpeed and this caching module can make WordPress sites <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.litespeedtech.com\/cloud\/images\/wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">up to 300 times faster<\/a> than if hosted on regular hosting.&nbsp;<\/p><p>On top of that, it will automate the initial setup for LiteSpeed Object Cache and the PHP OPcache extension &ndash; saving you time on server configuration.&nbsp;<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/blog\/litespeed-object-cache\">LiteSpeed Object Cache<\/a> can <strong>decrease response times in WordPress sites by up to three times <\/strong>and lessen the likelihood of downtime. On the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.php.net\/manual\/en\/intro.opcache.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PHP OPcache<\/a> can boost performance by making the site&rsquo;s PHP code execution faster.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-install-an-openlitespeed-template-with-cms-nbsp\">How to Install an OpenLiteSpeed Template With CMS&nbsp;<\/h2><p>\n\n\n<div><p class=\"important\"><b>Important!<\/b> Are you already using a VPS template?
