There are possible answers:

If a column is left blank, that means that feature is not available in that version. Thus:

1. OpenLiteSpeed is not hosting control panel compatible.

2. OpenLiteSpeed is not compatible with mod_security rules. You can, however, configure OpenLiteSpeed's setting to limit that bandwidth and connections that IPs can use up. These settings are found under the Security tab in OpenLiteSpeed's configurations.

3. OpenLiteSpeed currently does not read .htaccess files. It does understand Apache rewrite rule syntax, though. If you copy your rewrite rules into OpenLiteSpeed's virtual host configurations (remembering that the syntax should be that of a httpd.conf file, not a .htaccess file), OpenLiteSpeed will understand them.

4. OpenLiteSpeed cannot be used with CloudLinux.
