A web accelerator is a program that accelerates an Internet site, typically by caching its content. There are many types of accelerators, but in the common case this sort of programs cache static content or database responses and deliver them instead of the web server, thus improving the performance of a website significantly. The latter can be done because accelerator applications work faster than a web server and not only will a website work better, but the server load will also decrease, which will enable you to run heavy websites with less system resources. We provide three web accelerators with our hosting solutions, which will enable you to speed up any sort of Internet site. In comparison, most Internet hosting providers do not offer any web accelerators or offer only 1, which limits your choice of web apps in case you want to employ this kind of software.

Web Accelerators in Shared Website Hosting

If you buy one of our shared website hosting packages, you shall have 3 popular web accelerators at your disposal and you'll be able to access them directly using the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with our packages. Varnish is one of the most well-known ones and it can considerably accelerate any site as it caches the web pages a visitor opens for the first time and provides them each and every time that website visitor opens them again. Given that Varnish operates way quicker than any web server, the loading speed of any website using the accelerator will grow substantially. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between a visitor and a hosting server, so it's comparable to Varnish, but is used predominantly for database-driven Internet sites. Because the website shall connect to its database significantly less, the overall web server load shall be decreased notably. The third accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online applications including chats and booking sites since it processes info in real time as soon as it is entered on the webpage by the users. Based on the package you pick, these accelerators could be available or may be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted in your semi-dedicated server account depending on the nature of the site content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, therefore it is a superb option for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database server won't have to process the same request if a number of users open a page with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it is a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any type of content the first time a visitor opens an Internet site. In case this web page is opened again by the very same guest, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the web server. Using this web accelerator can reduce the load generated by your sites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js shall permit you to produce scalable web apps like hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a customer to submit a sizable piece of information, but processes whatever the client is inputting in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia Control Panel and you shall be able to select how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may employ.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

If you get a VPS server with the Hepsia CP, you will be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. All 3 accelerators are incorporated in our plans by default and offer dedicated memory of several hundred MBs. Node.js is employed to develop scalable apps where real-time interaction is needed - booking Internet sites, online games, chats, etc. It processes the info in small bits as the user is entering it, therefore it works faster than other platforms that wait for the users to input one massive part of data. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that operates as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it when the same website visitor opens the same page again, which can certainly speed any site several times as Varnish works a lot quicker than any web server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, consequently it is suitable for script-driven websites such as WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can easily decrease the load on your server because it will reduced the number of database queries your Internet sites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are offered by default with all our dedicated servers that are ordered with Hepsia as the website hosting Control Panel. These 3 web accelerators include several gbs of dedicated memory and you may use them to speed up any sort of website. Memcached can greatly minimize the load on the server if you have script-driven websites because it caches database responses, thus it minimizes the amount of database queries that the hosting server has to take care of. Node.js shall allow you to develop scalable apps with real-time user-server interaction including chats or dining booking websites. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it processes info the instant the end user enters it, so all the information is taken care of quicker and in small parts. Varnish caches entire pages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them each and every time the same guest opens them again, which makes it a universal accelerator for any sort of sites. Since it functions quicker than any server, it could speed up an Internet site at least several times and due to this fact, Varnish is amongst the most popular web accelerators around.
