A web accelerator is a server-side app that accelerates an Internet site. Such a piece of software can work in different ways depending on the website content, but in the typical case all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the server. That's valid for both static and dynamic websites as the cached content can be simple text or database responses and the advantage of using a web accelerator isn't just the faster loading Internet site, but also the smaller overall load on the web server. That way, you'll be able to employ a lower-end hosting plan which will also cost less while your site visitors can still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Several service providers supply web accelerators with their hosting deals and they often offer just 1, while we offer 3 different ones which will enable you to improve the performance of any sort of Internet site significantly.

Web Accelerators in Web Hosting

When you host your websites within a web hosting account from our company, you shall have 3 popular web accelerators to select from if you would like to boost the sites' performance. Memcached is used for database-driven sites and it caches the calls and requests between a site and its database, so it can easily lessen the load of such sites drastically. Varnish caches entire web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them from there on if the same website visitor opens them again. It does that faster than the hosting server, so it could raise the loading speed of any Internet site approximately 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time programs that works on the web server and not inside the visitor's web browser. It is employed for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other programs where a lot of data should be processed in real time. The availability of the accelerators depends on the hosting plan that you choose - they might come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you'll be able to include more instances or more memory for each of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia CP which comes with our semi-dedicated server solutions will allow you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your Internet sites. Memcached is among the most popular accelerators because it can accelerate any API or database-driven Internet site by caching requests and responses, as a result the server will not have to process identical requests time after time. The platform is suitable for sites created with applications like Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is a highly effective accelerator that caches any kind of content and is also frequently called an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches webpages which are opened by a visitor for the first time and provides them every time that very same site visitor opens them again. Varnish can certainly speed up a site several times as it delivers content quicker than any hosting server. Node.js is a platform employed for scalable real-time applications like chats, web browser games or social networks. It processes information in little pieces the instant a user types something, as a result it works considerably faster than similar platforms where users submit large pieces of information that require time to be processed. You can select the number of instances and the dedicated memory for every one of the 3 accelerators through your CP.

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 Internet sites. All 3 accelerators are included in our plans by default and come with dedicated memory of a few hundred megabytes. Node.js is employed to create scalable programs where real-time interaction is required - booking Internet sites, online games, chats, and so forth. It processes the info in little bits as the end user is entering it, thus it functions faster than other platforms which wait for the users to input one sizeable piece 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 visitor opens the same page again, which can speed any site several times since Varnish functions more quickly than any hosting server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, so it is ideal for script-driven Internet sites such as WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can reduce the load on your web server because it shall lower the number 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 CP and in accordance with the plan you select, you'll also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached will decrease the hosting server load by lowering the amount of queries that have to be addressed as it caches database calls and responses. You'll be able to use it on every site which uses an API or a database - for instance, any website built with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can boost the performance of any kind of site by caching whole webpages the first time a guest opens them. The accelerator provides the web pages if the very same visitor opens them afterwards and given that it does that way quicker than the server, the visitor shall be able to browse your Internet site at least a few times faster. That's why Varnish is often categorised as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is a sophisticated platform that'll enable you to develop booking sites, web chats and other programs where real-time server-user interaction is required. It processes the info in little parts as the user fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one large piece of data, which makes Node.js way quicker than similar programs.
