It is based on PHP and uses MySQL\/MariaDB as a database backend. It provides a simple and easier way to create a simple to advanced blog or website. It provides a web-based frontend to create and manage a website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OpenLiteSpeed is a high-performance, lightweight, open-source HTTP server edition of LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we will show you how to install WordPress multisite with OpenLiteSpeed on Ubuntu 20.04 server. A multisite network is a group of sites sharing the same WordPress installation and could also have the same plugins and themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">ssh root@IP_Address -p Port_Number<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you will need to replace <code>IP_Address<\/code> and <code>Port_Number<\/code> with your actual server IP address and SSH port number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, run the following command to make sure that all installed packages on the server are updated to the latest available version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre
