I used LiteSpeed for a while. It is very easy to administer once you wrap your head around how it's done. It's also reasonably fast. I turned it off when I needed to have a WebDAV share running, which LiteSpeed doesn't support. In order to do WebDAV, you have to run another web server (Apache) and do some redirection. I figured if I had to run Apache anyway, I'd use it to serve up my Rails apps as well. I had used Mongrel in the past, but took the opportunity to give Passenger a try. Overall, I'm happier now. The big downside for LiteSpeed, in my opinion, is that the free version is 32 bit and supports only one processor. I run a 64 bit slice on SliceHost, so I had to have the 32 bit compatibility libraries installed (which isn't too big of a deal) and it would use only one processor. I don't remember the pricing structure, but the license I was considering if I went "enterprise" was going to run about $700 per year. For a real business making real money, that might not be so bad, but for a single person running tight finances, it didn't make sense to license LiteSpeed when I can run Apache (or Nginx, Lightttpd, etc) for free. As usual, your mileage may vary.
