E-Commerce Web Hosting Glossary of Terms – L

• Lack of Maintenance Related Testing

  Incompatibilities introduced within the updated versions of plugins, your theme and WordPress itself can easily allow a shop to break or slip in sales. Some things that break may not be so apparent while others may cause the site to disappear with the dreaded "WordPress White Screen of Death" (WP WSoD). Our basic support does not test, fix or troubleshoot these upgrade issues.

  Note: While a simple WordPress site might be all right with automatic upgrades; the more plugins one has the greater the possibility for failure and most e-commerce shops will not stay operational very long without the active support of trained staff.

• Lightweight Virtual Environment

  Our expert administrators manage securely threaded, centralized servers like: email, FTP, DNS, HTTP/2, SQL, SSH and firewall, whereas file systems are caged and separated within secure containers. VPS's, used by other companies, are rarely managed because each user interface is separate and too decentralized.

• LiteSpeed API

  An open-sourced, event driven, Apache replacement that accelerates PHP, SSL and caching requests--increasing speed and performance--while decreasing CPU and memory requirements. It's especially useful during periods of peak demand.
