A web accelerator is an application that quickens an Internet site, typically by caching its content. There are various kinds of accelerators, but in the general case this sort of programs cache static content or database responses and provide them instead of the hosting server, thus boosting the performance of a site greatly. The latter can be done because accelerator applications work faster than a web server and not only will an Internet site function better, but the server load will also lessen, which will permit you to run heavy sites with less resources. We offer 3 web accelerators with our hosting solutions, which will allow you to speed up any type of site. In comparison, most website hosting firms do not provide any web accelerators or provide only one, which limits your choice of web apps in the event that you want to use this type of software.

Web Accelerators in Shared Website Hosting

In case you buy one of our shared website hosting solutions, you'll have three popular web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly via the Hepsia CP that is included with our plans. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it can tremendously accelerate any site since it caches the pages a site visitor opens for the first time and delivers them every time that visitor opens them again. Given that Varnish works faster than any server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator shall increase considerably. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between an Internet site visitor and a web server, so it's similar to Varnish, but is employed primarily for database-driven sites. Considering that the site shall connect to its database much less, the overall web server load will be decreased considerably. The third accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online applications such as chats and booking Internet sites because it processes info in real time the moment it is entered on the site by the users. Depending on the plan you select, these accelerators could be available or may be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you go for one of our semi-dedicated server solutions, you will be able to employ Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - 3 effective web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose program that caches webpages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them instead of the web server if the visitor opens them again nearly 300% quicker. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses so that the server doesn't need to process every request, that makes it suitable for database-driven Internet sites, for instance ones developed with Joomla™ or WordPress. Node.js is employed to build web apps which operate in real-time such as chats or accommodation booking websites and it processes each bit of data as soon as the user enters it rather than waiting for large pieces of information to be accumulated. The Hepsia Control Panel which is included with our semi-dedicated plans will enable you to pick how many instances of each and every accelerator shall work at a time and just how much memory they'll use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

If you obtain a VPS server with the Hepsia CP, you shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your Internet sites. All three accelerators are integrated in our solutions by default and feature dedicated memory of a few hundred megabytes. Node.js is employed to create scalable apps where real-time interaction is required - booking websites, online games, chats, etcetera. It processes the info in small parts as the user is entering it, thus it functions faster than other platforms which wait for the end users to enter one massive part of data. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator which works as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it if the same visitor opens the same webpage again, which can easily speed any website several times because Varnish works quicker than any server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, therefore it's appropriate for script-driven websites such as WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can minimize the load on your hosting server since it'll decrease the amount of database queries your websites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are offered with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and in accordance with the package that you select, you shall also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached can lessen the server load by lowering the amount of queries which have to be addressed since it caches database calls and responses. You shall be able to use it on any site that uses an API or a database - as an example, any site designed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can easily improve the performance of any type of Internet site by caching whole pages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator provides the webpages if the same visitor opens them later on and given that it does that way quicker than the hosting server, the visitor shall be able to browse your Internet site at least a couple of times faster. This is why Varnish is often referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an advanced platform that will enable you to create booking websites, web chats and other apps in which real-time server-user interaction is needed. It processes the info in tiny pieces as the user fills different boxes and doesn't wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one big chunk of info, which makes Node.js way quicker than similar applications.
