A web accelerator is a server-side app that accelerates a site. Such a piece of software may work in different ways depending upon the website content, but in the typical case all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That is valid for both static and dynamic websites since the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the benefit of employing a web accelerator is not only the faster loading site, but also the lessened overall load on the machine. This way, you'll be able to employ a lower-end hosting plan which will also cost less while your website visitors could still enjoy fast browsing speeds. Few firms provide web accelerators with their hosting packages and they often offer just 1, while we offer 3 different ones that will allow you to boost the performance of any type of website considerably.

Web Accelerators in Shared Web Hosting

In case you host your websites in a shared web hosting account from our company, you shall have 3 popular web accelerators to choose from if you'd like to enhance the sites' performance. Memcached is used for database-driven Internet sites and it caches the calls and requests between a website and its database, so it can reduce the load of such Internet sites drastically. Varnish caches whole web pages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same guest opens them again. It does that much more quickly 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 which functions on the web server and not within the visitor's world-wide web browser. It's used for accommodation booking, chats and other programs where plenty of data has to be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends upon the hosting package that you select - they may come by default or as an upgrade. In both cases, you'll be able to add more instances or more memory for each one of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia CP that comes with our semi-dedicated server packages will allow you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. Memcached is among the most well-known accelerators because it can speed up any API or database-driven Internet site by caching requests and responses, thus the hosting server shall not need to process identical requests time and time again. The platform is suitable for sites developed with programs like Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is a powerful accelerator that caches any type of content and is also frequently called an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches pages which are opened by a site visitor for the first time and delivers them every time that very same site visitor opens them again. Varnish can accelerate an Internet site several times as it delivers content quicker than any hosting server. Node.js is a platform used for scalable real-time applications such as chats, browser games or social networks. It processes information in smaller pieces as soon as a user enters anything, as a result it functions considerably faster than similar platforms in which users submit large portions of information that require time to be processed. You could select the number of instances and the dedicated memory for each and every one of the three accelerators via your CP.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

In the event that you obtain a VPS server with the Hepsia CP, you'll be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All three accelerators are incorporated inside our plans by default and offer dedicated memory of a few hundred megabytes. Node.js is employed to develop scalable programs where real-time interaction is necessary - booking Internet sites, online games, chats, and so on. It processes the info in little pieces as the end user is entering it, thus it works faster than other platforms which wait for the users to enter one large part of information. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that functions as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it in the event that the same guest opens the same webpage again, which could speed any Internet site several times as Varnish functions more quickly than any web server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, therefore it's ideal for script-driven sites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can decrease the load on your hosting server as it will decrease the number of database queries that your websites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

If you acquire a dedicated server from our company and you select Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you will be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your Internet sites. All plans come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the actual amount depends on the plan you select. Node.js is used for scalable online applications like browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information in real time as the user enters it, which makes it much quicker than similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven site, not only will the Internet site speed up, but also the load on the server will decrease as there shall be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Rather, it caches whole pages once a guest opens them and delivers them instead of the server whenever the same visitor opens them later on. Because Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any server, the overall performance of a site using this accelerator can increase as much as 300%.
