A web accelerator is a server-side program that quickens an Internet site. Such a piece of software may function in different ways depending on the site content, but in the general case all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the server. That is valid for both dynamic and static Internet sites because the cached content can be simple text or database responses and the reward of using a web accelerator is not just the faster loading Internet site, but also the smaller overall load on the hosting server. This way, you'll be able to employ a lower-end hosting solution that'll also cost less while your visitors can still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Several firms supply web accelerators with their hosting packages and they typically offer only 1, while we offer three different ones which will allow you to enhance the performance of any type of site tremendously.

Web Accelerators in Web Hosting

We offer three of the most well-known web accelerators along with our web hosting services and depending on what plan you will pick when you sign up, they may already be available or they may be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most widely used one of them and it could be used for any type of site. It caches the pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them at a faster speed compared to the web server every time that a visitor opens them again. Memcached is employed to cache API and database calls, so it could increase the speed of dynamic websites like online stores, community forums or social networks. Node.js is used for scalable web applications and it functions in real-time, which makes it ideal for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, and so forth. You will be able to pick what amount of memory these accelerators shall employ and how many instances of each one will run from your Hepsia website hosting CP.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you go for one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you'll be able to employ Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three effective web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose program that caches webpages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them instead of the web server if the visitor opens them again up to 300% quicker. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses so the hosting server doesn't have to process each and every request, that makes it suitable for database-driven Internet sites, for instance ones designed with Joomla™ or WordPress. Node.js is used to produce web programs that function in real-time including chats or accommodation booking sites and it processes each bit of data as soon as the user enters it instead of waiting for massive chunks of information to be accumulated. The Hepsia CP that is included with our semi-dedicated solutions will allow you to pick how many instances of each accelerator shall work at a time and the amount of memory they will use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

If you obtain a VPS server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you shall be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All 3 accelerators are included in our plans by default and offer dedicated memory of a few hundred megabytes. Node.js is employed to build scalable applications where real-time interaction is necessary - booking Internet sites, online flash games, chats, and so on. It processes the information in smaller pieces as the end user is entering it, thus it operates much faster than other platforms that wait for the users to input one sizeable piece of info. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator which operates as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it in case the same visitor opens the same webpage again, which can speed any website several times as Varnish functions a lot quicker than any web server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, consequently it is appropriate for script-driven websites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can minimize the load on your web server because it'll reduce the number of database queries your sites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are available with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and in accordance with the package that you choose, you'll also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached will decrease the server load by lowering the number of queries which have to be addressed 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 illustration, any site created with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can boost the performance of any sort of site by caching whole webpages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator provides the web pages if the very same visitor opens them later and given that it does that much quicker than the web server, the website visitor shall be able to look through your site at least a few times faster. That is why Varnish is sometimes categorised as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is a sophisticated platform which will permit you to build booking sites, web chats and other apps where real-time server-user interaction is needed. It processes the info in tiny parts as the user fills different boxes and doesn't wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one massive piece of information, which makes Node.js much quicker than similar applications.
