A web accelerator is a server-side program that speeds up an Internet site. Such a piece of software could function in different ways based on the website content, but in the typical case all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the web server. That is valid for both dynamic and static websites as the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the benefit of employing a web accelerator is not simply the faster loading website, but also the reduced overall load on the web server. This way, you could employ a lower-end hosting plan that'll also cost less while your site visitors can still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Few companies supply web accelerators with their hosting packages and they frequently offer only 1, while we offer 3 different ones that'll permit you to enhance the performance of any type of site significantly.

Web Accelerators in Hosting

We offer three of the most popular web accelerators with our hosting packages and depending on what plan you shall choose when you sign up, they may already be available or they could be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most popular one of them and it could be used for any sort of website. It caches the web pages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them at a much faster speed compared to the hosting server each and every time that a visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it can boost the speed of dynamic websites like online stores, forums or social networks. Node.js is employed for scalable web applications and it functions in real-time, which makes it perfect for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, etcetera. You will be able to pick what amount of memory these accelerators shall employ and how many instances of each and every one shall run from your Hepsia web hosting CP.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the Internet sites hosted inside your semi-dedicated server account based on the nature of the site content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, so it is an excellent option for any script application such as WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database server will not need to process exactly the same request if multiple users open a page with the same content. Varnish is very similar, 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 exact same website visitor, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the web server. Employing this web accelerator will decrease the load generated by your Internet sites substantially. Last, but not least, Node.js will permit you to build scalable web applications like hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it does not wait for a client to submit a substantial piece of data, but processes whatever the user is entering in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP and you will be able to select how many instances of each one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll employ.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

In case you choose your VPS server to be integrated with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to use Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - 3 of the most widely used web accelerators. Varnish caches webpages the first time they are visited and delivers them each and every time the same person visits them again, which can speed up any sort of Internet site several times. Memcached is used for dynamic script apps for example Joomla™ and WordPress as it caches database requests and responses, thus the database hosting server won't have to process the same website every time guests open it in case the same content should be displayed. Node.js is a platform for creating real-time apps for instance online games and chats. It functions faster than similar platforms since it processes the information in little pieces all the time and doesn't wait for users to enter a substantial piece of data that shall need more time to be processed. The 3 web accelerators are provided with all Hepsia-based VPS packages and include several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

In case you acquire a dedicated server from us and you select Hepsia as the hosting CP, you'll be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All plans include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the actual amount depends on the plan that you choose. Node.js is used for scalable online applications including browser games or hotel booking and it processes the data right away as the client enters it, which makes it considerably faster than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven Internet site, not simply will the site work faster, but also the load on the server will reduce as there will be a lesser amount of database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it is not limited to databases. Instead, it caches whole web pages once a visitor opens them and provides them instead of the hosting server each and every time the same visitor opens them later. Due to the fact that Varnish processes web requests faster than any hosting server, the performance of an Internet site using this accelerator may increase around 300%.
