Andrew, I would say YES. (beside Apache, Apache with NGiNX reverse proxy or Varnish cache, NGiNX, lighttpd, IIS)

The LiteSpeed web server (LSWS):

• is a great drop in replacement for Apache that has all the benefits of Nginx
• increases performance and stability with its streamlined event-driven architecture
• can serve thousands of clients with minimal memory consumption and CPU usage
• has the ability to function as a load balancer for other servers or web applications on the backend
• makes it easy to run multiple versions of PHP on one server, allowing ultimate flexibility for web applications and shared hosting providers
• reduce the page load times, also the website response time significantly
• reduces hardware and support costs allowing to keep the hosting control panel and relieving you of the troubles of an overloaded server
• .htaccess compatible, unlike nginx or lighttpd
• mod rewrite compatible
• mod security compatible
• lsapi for php – faster than fastcgi, mod fgci, suphp, dso, and all others
• supports phpsuexec
• The install is easy, and requires minimal admin time
• Out-of-the-box, LiteSpeed just works!

...last but not last it's the 4th most popular web server...

Thanks @JStrotmann. I created this issue as it was a comment in the doc. +1 to adding LiteSpeed. I am going to remove the "question" part and leave this issue open until someone writes the section

If we're going to continue to recommend specific servers, and it is used by hosts regularly, that makes sense to me.

We can also add OpenLiteSpeed.
