LiteSpeed High-Performance Web Server

WordPress packages can use LiteSpeed Web Server instead of the default NGINX-based web-server configuration. The LiteSpeed option is intended for high-performance WordPress delivery and also enables related LiteSpeed-specific security options.

Licensing: LiteSpeed is commercial software. Availability and any additional license charge depend on the service provider and package configuration.

Brute Force Protection and Web Application Firewall

Brute Force Attack ProtectionAdds protection against repeated WordPress login attempts. It is provided as a LiteSpeed-related package option.

Web Application FirewallAdds application-layer request filtering for LiteSpeed-based WordPress deployments.

Let’s Encrypt SSL with Auto-Renewal

The Let’s Encrypt option automates issuance of a trusted SSL certificate for the WordPress environment and renews the certificate periodically. It is intended for WordPress deployments using a custom domain.

WordPress Multisite Network

WordPress Multisite allows multiple websites to be managed from a single WordPress installation and shared codebase. Enable this option when the project specifically requires a network of WordPress sites.

WooCommerce

The WooCommerce option prepares the WordPress installation for e-commerce use by installing WooCommerce as part of the package deployment. Enable it when the project is intended to operate as an online store.

Cluster-Specific Features

The WordPress Cluster package adds high-availability and scaling features that are not part of the single-container Standalone architecture.

Automatic Horizontal ScalingApplication-server nodes can be added or removed according to configured load thresholds.

MariaDB Galera ClusterCan replace the default Primary-Primary database topology when synchronous clustered database replication is required.

GlusterFS ClusterProvides fault-tolerant shared storage for WordPress application assets.

High AvailabilityMultiple application, database, and storage components provide redundancy for production workloads.

Multi-Region Features

Multi-region WordPress packages extend WordPress across separate Virtuozzo Application Management regions. The available features depend on whether the deployment uses the Standalone or Cluster multi-region package.

Async Primary-ReplicaUses asynchronous database replication and is intended for deployments where inter-region latency is higher or read operations greatly exceed writes.

Sync GaleraUses synchronous MariaDB Galera distribution and requires at least three regions. The related multi-region guide recommends it when average inter-region ping is below 20 ms.

GlusterFS Geo-ReplicationSynchronizes WordPress static assets between regions.

DNS Load BalancingRecommended for distributing user traffic between the available WordPress regions.

Expected Result

The selected WordPress package is deployed with only the features required by the project, such as LiteSpeed, security protection, automatic SSL, Multisite, WooCommerce, clustered database/storage, horizontal scaling, or multi-region distribution.

Important Notes

Not every feature applies to every WordPress package type.
LiteSpeed-related security features require a LiteSpeed-based deployment.
Cluster-specific features such as MariaDB Galera and GlusterFS do not apply to the single-container Standalone package.
Multi-region database topology should be selected according to region count and inter-region latency.
Optional feature availability and commercial licensing can depend on the service provider.
