A web accelerator is an application that speeds up a site, usually by caching its content. There are different types of accelerators, but in the common case this sort of applications cache static content or database responses and provide them in lieu of the web server, thus increasing the performance of an Internet site noticeably. The latter is achievable because accelerator apps work faster than a server and not simply will an Internet site work better, but the server load shall also minimize, which will permit you to run heavy Internet sites with less system resources. We provide 3 web accelerators with our hosting solutions, which will allow you to speed up any sort of Internet site. In comparison, most web hosting providers don't provide any web accelerators or provide one, which limits your choice of web applications in case you want to use this kind of software.

Web Accelerators in Website Hosting

If you acquire one of our website hosting solutions, you'll have three widely used web accelerators at your disposal and you will be able to access them directly via the Hepsia CP that comes with our plans. Varnish is one of the most popular ones and it can significantly increase the speed of any Internet site since it caches the pages that a website visitor opens for the first time and provides them each and every time that visitor opens them again. Because Varnish operates way quicker than any web server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator will improve considerably. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between an Internet site visitor and a server, so it's similar to Varnish, but is used mainly for database-driven Internet sites. Considering that the website will connect to its database significantly less, the overall server load shall be minimized significantly. The last accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online programs including chats and booking Internet sites because it processes data in real time as soon as it is entered on the website by the users. Depending on the plan you select, these accelerators could be available or could be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server packages shall allow you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js - 3 of the most effective web accelerators out there. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses, so it can easily increase the speed of any script-driven Internet site. You can use it for any website created with WordPress or Joomla™, for instance. Varnish is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy and it is a general-purpose caching platform which could be employed for any type of sites. Depending on the content, it may boost the performance of a site up to 300%. Node.js is a sophisticated system used to create scalable Internet applications which process info in real time such as booking portals. Its advantage is that different from comparable platforms, it processes information continuously and in small parts rather than waiting for the user to submit one sizeable chunk of data. The accelerators can be enabled for any website via the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to choose how many instances of every one of them shall work and how much memory they shall employ.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

In case you obtain a VPS server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All three accelerators are incorporated within our packages by default and offer dedicated memory of several hundred megabytes. Node.js is employed to build scalable programs where real-time interaction is necessary - booking Internet sites, online games, chats, etc. It processes the data in smaller bits as the user is entering it, therefore it operates faster than other platforms that wait for the users to enter one big part of information. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that functions as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it if the same guest opens the same website again, which can speed any site several times because Varnish functions quicker than any hosting server. Memcached is used for caching API and database responses, therefore it is ideal for script-driven Internet sites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can reduce the load on your server since it'll reduced the amount of database queries that your websites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Varnish and Node.js come with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and based on the package you opt for, you'll also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached can decrease the web server load by lowering the number of queries which need to be taken care of since it caches database calls and responses. You shall be able to use it on every website which uses an API or a database - as an example, any website created with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can boost the performance of any type of website by caching whole pages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator provides the web pages if the exact same visitor opens them later on and considering the fact that it does that way quicker than the server, the visitor shall be able to surf your site at least a couple of times faster. That's why Varnish is oftentimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an innovative platform that will allow you to create booking websites, web chats and other applications in which real-time server-user interaction is required. It processes the information in little pieces as the user fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one large chunk of data, which makes Node.js considerably faster than similar apps.
