Terms used in this comparison
Plain-English definitions written for Nepali web hosting.
- LiteSpeed Web ServerLiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) is a high-performance, Apache-compatible web server developed by LiteSpeed Technologies. It serves dynamic PHP sites — especially WordPress — typically 3–9× faster than Apache by combining an event-driven architecture with built-in LSCache page caching.
- cPanelcPanel is the world's most widely used Linux web-hosting control panel. It gives you a graphical interface to manage domains, email accounts, MySQL databases, file uploads, SSL certificates, cron jobs and one-click app installs without touching the command line.
- SSL / TLS CertificateAn SSL/TLS certificate encrypts traffic between a browser and a website and proves the site owns the domain. Modern browsers mark sites without one as 'Not Secure', and search engines penalise them in rankings.
- VPS (Virtual Private Server)A VPS is a virtual machine sold as a service. It gives you guaranteed CPU, RAM and NVMe storage on a shared physical host, plus full root access to install any software. KVM is the modern hardware-virtualised hypervisor most reputable providers — including Namence — use.
- CDN (Content Delivery Network)A CDN is a globally distributed network of edge servers that cache and serve static assets — images, CSS, JS, video — from the location closest to each visitor. The result is lower latency, less load on your origin server and better resilience against traffic spikes.
- WHMCSWHMCS is the industry-standard billing, automation and client-management platform for web hosting businesses. It handles signups, recurring NPR invoicing, cPanel account provisioning, support tickets and domain registration through one admin panel.
