A web accelerator is a software which accelerates a site, normally by caching its content. There are various sorts of accelerators, but in the general case this kind of apps cache static content or database responses and supply them in place of the hosting server, thus boosting the performance of an Internet site greatly. The latter is possible because accelerator applications work faster than a hosting server and not simply will an Internet site function better, but the server load shall also decline, which will permit you to run heavy sites with less resources. We offer 3 web accelerators with our hosting solutions, which will enable you to speed up any kind of website. In comparison, most hosting businesses don't offer any web accelerators or provide just one, which limits your choice of web applications in case you would like to employ this kind of software.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Website Hosting

If you get one of our cloud website hosting packages, you will have 3 widely used web accelerators at your disposal and you'll be able to access them directly using the Hepsia CP which is included with our solutions. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it could significantly accelerate any site as it caches the web pages a visitor opens for the first time and delivers them each and every time that website visitor opens them again. Because Varnish operates way quicker than any server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator shall increase substantially. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between a website visitor and a hosting server, so it is comparable to Varnish, but is used mainly for database-driven sites. Because the website shall connect to its database significantly less, the overall web server load shall be minimized substantially. The last accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online apps like chats and booking Internet sites as it processes information in real time the moment it is entered on the website by the users. Depending on the plan you pick, these accelerators might be available or may be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted in your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, therefore it's an excellent choice for any script application such as WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database hosting server shall not need to process exactly the same request if multiple users open a site with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it is a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any sort of content the first time a guest opens a page. If this webpage is opened again by the exact same visitor, it'll be provided by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the web server. Using this web accelerator shall lessen the load created by your websites tremendously. Last, but not least, Node.js shall allow you to build scalable web applications such as hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it does not wait for a customer to submit a substantial piece of information, but processes whatever the user is entering in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to select how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll employ.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

All VPS servers which are incorporated with the Hepsia CP come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you will have several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that's also known as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches pages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them in case that visitor opens them again, therefore the hosting server will not have to perform any action. Because Varnish works much faster than any web server, an Internet site using this accelerator will operate several times faster. Memcached is a platform that caches database calls and responses and it is used for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven apps that store their content in a database. Node.js is a powerful platform for developing scalable web apps. Any info on an Internet site that uses Node.js is processed right away, which makes it a superb choice for dining and accommodation booking Internet sites, web-based chats, web browser games, etc.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

If you pick Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel for your new dedicated server, you will have Memcached, Varnish and Node.js at your disposal for speeding up your Internet sites. Memcached can easily minimize the load on the web server by lowering the queries your script-driven Internet sites make as it caches database responses. This web accelerator is ideal for dynamic websites developed with WordPress, Joomla™ and very similar scripts. Varnish, which is often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches whole webpages the first time a new website visitor opens them. It could be used to speed up any kind of site as it delivers the cached content much quicker than the hosting server any time a visitor opens the same webpage again. You can employ Node.js for online applications that call for real-time server-client interaction such as online chats or booking websites. In contrast to other platforms which wait for the user to input everything on a form, Node.js processes the information gradually as the user fills each box, so it works considerably quicker and more efficiently. All dedicated server solutions feature several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these 3 web accelerators.
