cPanel has added new apache module "mod_lsapi" as a PHP handler and it says mod_lsapi is a good replacement for suPHP. Could you please tell me whether it is secure as suPHP. I really need an advice from you.

Best Regards.

Hello,

our suggestion is neither of them.
If you can, the best thing would be FastCGI. It has the best performance and security protection.
By the way, if I remember correctly, LSAPI compiles all your files using OPCache. This means that when you modify your PHP files, you have to manually invalidate the whole cache. Honestly it's not very user friendly, I'd strongly suggest you to use FastCGI.
