A web accelerator is a software which speeds up a site, usually by caching its content. There are different kinds of accelerators, but in the common case this sort of apps cache static content or database responses and supply them in place of the server, therefore increasing the performance of a website significantly. The latter is achievable because accelerator apps work faster than a web server and not simply will an Internet site work better, but the server load shall also lessen, which will permit you to run heavy Internet sites with less resources. We provide three web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will allow you to increase the speed of any type of Internet site. In comparison, most hosting companies don't provide any web accelerators or provide one, which limits your choice of web apps in the event that you would like to employ this type of software.

Web Accelerators in Web Hosting

If you host your sites inside a web hosting account from us, you'll have 3 popular web accelerators to choose from if you'd like to improve the sites' performance. Memcached is employed for database-driven sites and it caches the calls and requests between an Internet site and its database, so it can reduce the load of such sites considerably. Varnish caches entire webpages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same guest opens them again. It does that much faster than the web server, so it could raise the loading speed of any Internet site nearly 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time programs which operates on the hosting server and not inside the visitor's browser. It's employed for accommodation booking, chats and other programs where lots of data has to be processed in real time. The availability of the accelerators depends on the hosting plan which you select - they might come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you'll be able to add more instances or more memory for every one of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the Internet sites hosted inside your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, so it is a great choice for any script application like WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database web server shall not need to process the exact same request if a number of users open a page with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it's a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any sort of content the first time a visitor opens a site. In case this page is opened again by the same guest, it will be provided by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the server. Employing this web accelerator will reduce the load produced by your Internet sites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js shall enable you to build scalable web applications such as hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it does not wait for a user to submit a big piece of info, but processes whatever the customer is inputting in real-time. The three web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia Control Panel and you'll be able to choose how many instances of each and 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 Control Panel, you shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your Internet sites. All three accelerators are incorporated in our solutions by default and offer dedicated memory of a few hundred megabytes. Node.js is employed to develop scalable programs where real-time interaction is necessary - booking sites, online flash games, chats, etc. It processes the information in small bits as the end user is entering it, thus it operates faster than other platforms which wait for the users to input one massive bit of information. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that works as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it when the same website visitor opens the same webpage again, which can certainly speed any Internet site several times as Varnish functions a lot quicker than any hosting server. Memcached is used for caching API and database responses, consequently it is suitable for script-driven Internet sites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator will be able to reduce the load on your server since it shall decrease the amount of database queries which your Internet sites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

If you get a dedicated server from our company and you select Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to employ Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All plans include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the specific amount depends on the package that you choose. Node.js is used for scalable online programs like browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information in real time as the user enters it, which makes it considerably faster than similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven site, not simply will the Internet site speed up, but also the load on the hosting server will minimize because there will be less database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it's not limited to databases. Rather, it caches entire web pages once a guest opens them and provides them instead of the hosting server each time the same visitor opens them afterwards. Due to the fact that Varnish processes web requests much faster than any hosting server, the overall performance of an Internet site using this accelerator can increase around 300%.
