A web accelerator is a software which accelerates a site, usually by caching its content. There are different sorts of accelerators, but in the typical case such programs cache static content or database responses and provide them in place of the web server, as a consequence enhancing the performance of a website noticeably. The latter can be done because accelerator applications work faster than a server and not simply will a website work better, but the server load will also decrease, which will permit you to run heavy sites with less system resources. We provide 3 web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will enable you to accelerate any sort of site. In comparison, most hosting providers do not provide any web accelerators or provide only one, which limits your choice of web apps in the event that you'd like to use this kind of software.

Web Accelerators in Website Hosting

If you host your sites inside a website hosting account from us, you shall have three popular web accelerators to pick from if you'd like to improve the sites' functionality. Memcached is employed for database-driven sites and it caches the calls and requests between a site and its database, so it could decrease the load of such sites tremendously. Varnish caches whole webpages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them from there on if the same website visitor opens them again. It does that much more quickly than the hosting server, so it could increase the loading speed of any Internet site up to 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time apps which works on the server and not inside the visitor's browser. It is used for accommodation booking, chats and other applications where loads of data has to be processed in real time. The availability of the accelerators depends on the hosting package that you choose - they might come by default or as an upgrade. In both cases, you'll be able to include more instances or more memory for each of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted within your semi-dedicated hosting account based on the nature of the site content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, so it is a fantastic option for any script app like WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database web server shall not have to process the same request if many users open a webpage with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any sort of content the first time a website visitor opens a site. If that webpage is opened again by the very same visitor, it will be delivered by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the hosting server. Employing this web accelerator can minimize the load generated by your Internet sites substantially. Last, but not least, Node.js shall allow you to create scalable web apps such as hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a user 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 Control Panel and you will be able to pick how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can employ.

Web Accelerators in VPS Web Hosting

All virtual private servers that are integrated with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you'll receive 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 website visitor opens them and delivers them in case that visitor opens them again, so the server shall not need to perform any action. As Varnish works faster than any web server, a website using this accelerator shall operate several times swifter. Memcached is a platform that caches database calls and responses and it is employed for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven applications which store their content inside a database. Node.js is a powerful platform for creating scalable web apps. Any info on a site which uses Node.js is processed in real time, which makes it a great choice for dining and accommodation booking websites, web-based chats, browser games, etcetera.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are offered by default with all our dedicated servers which are ordered with Hepsia as the Internet hosting Control Panel. These 3 web accelerators come with several gbs of dedicated memory and you could use them to speed up any type of website. Memcached can substantially reduce the load on the server if you have script-driven sites because it caches database responses, so it decreases the amount of database queries the hosting server has to tackle. Node.js shall enable you to build scalable programs with real-time user-server interaction such as chats or dining booking websites. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it processes info as soon as the user enters it, so all the info is taken care of quicker and in small pieces. Varnish caches entire Internet pages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them every time the same website visitor opens them again, which makes it a universal accelerator for any type of sites. Because it functions faster than any web server, it can speed up a website at least several times and as a result, Varnish is amongst the most widely used web accelerators around.
