A web accelerator is a server-side app that accelerates a website. Such a piece of software could work in different ways based on the site content, but in the typical case all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the server. That is valid for both static and dynamic sites since the cached content could be simple text or database responses and the benefit of using a web accelerator isn't just the faster loading Internet site, but also the decreased overall load on the machine. This way, you may use a lower-end hosting solution that'll also cost less while your visitors will be able to still enjoy fast browsing speeds. Handful of firms offer web accelerators with their hosting plans and they typically offer just 1, while we offer three different ones which will permit you to enhance the performance of any type of Internet site noticeably.

Web Accelerators in Hosting

When you host your websites within a hosting account from our firm, you will have three popular web accelerators to choose from if you would like to improve the sites' performance. Memcached is employed for database-driven sites and it caches the calls and requests between a site and its database, so it can easily decrease the load of such websites significantly. Varnish caches entire webpages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same website visitor opens them again. It does that much faster than the web server, so it can easily boost the loading speed of any site nearly 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time apps that functions on the web server and not in the visitor's browser. It is used for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other applications where loads of data has to be processed in real time. The availability of the accelerators depends upon the hosting solution that you select - they may come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you will be able to add more instances or more memory for each one of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the sites hosted in your semi-dedicated hosting account in accordance with the nature of the website content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, therefore it's a superb option for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server shall not need to process the exact same request if multiple users open a website with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it is a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any type of content the first time a visitor opens an Internet site. In case that web page is opened again by the very same website visitor, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the server. Employing this web accelerator can decrease the load generated by your Internet sites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js will permit you to build scalable web programs such as hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a client to submit a substantial piece of info, but processes whatever the client is inputting in real-time. The three web accelerators are available in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to choose how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can use.

Web Accelerators in VPS

All virtual private servers that are integrated with the Hepsia CP come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you shall receive several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that's also often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches web pages the first time a website visitor opens them and delivers them in case that guest opens them again, so the server won't have to perform any action. Since Varnish works faster than any server, an Internet site employing this accelerator shall operate several times swifter. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it is used for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven programs which store their content within a database. Node.js is a powerful platform for creating scalable web apps. Any information on an Internet site which uses Node.js is processed in real time, which makes it an excellent choice for dining and accommodation booking websites, web-based chats, Internet browser games, etcetera.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Hosting

In case you order a dedicated server from us and you pick Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you will be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your Internet sites. All packages come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the exact amount depends on the package you select. Node.js is used for scalable online programs like browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information right away as the user enters it, which makes it much faster than very similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven site, not only will the site speed up, but also the load on the hosting server will decrease as there shall be a lesser amount of database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Instead, it caches entire websites once a visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the server each time the same visitor opens them afterwards. Due to the fact that Varnish processes web requests much faster than any hosting server, the performance of a website using this accelerator may increase around 300%.
