LiteSpeed by default supports this.

However if you need static deliver look into a optimization sysadmin and varnish.

...try web sites hosted on port 2080 and secured sites on 2443. If all sites work properly, stop Apache, change “Apache Port Offset” to 0...

 

[awww]

ok great do you have any other documentation to get me started with the installation i googled i found out dated ones

 

[webizen]

here are the installation steps: http://www.litespeedtech.com/docs/webserver/install/

also, use enterprise edition instead of standard edition which only imports 5 vhost from apache/plesk.

ok im at this part
Please specify the port for normal HTTP service.
Port 80 is the standard HTTP port, only 'root' user is allowed to use
port 80, if you have another web server running on port 80, you need to
specify another port or stop the other web server before starting LiteSpeed
Web Server.
You can access the normal web page at http://<YOUR_HOST>:<HTTP_PORT>/

what do i do if i already have my forum and everything set up

since you have Apache running and you need to make sure LiteSpeed runs ok before switch over, you should choose a different port for LSWS (say 8080).

ok i got everything up and running im confused where do you put the files i know on cpanel you put it in /public_html and for plesk you put it in the httpd but where on litespeed

LSWS, in this case, is a drop-in for Apache. You would do everything as usual in Plesk (/var/www/vhosts/domain/httpdocs). LSWS (reading Apache conf) will pick it up.
