A web accelerator is a software program which speeds up an Internet site generally by caching content and supplying it instead of the hosting server. Such applications may be employed for both static and dynamic Internet sites as there are a variety of accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The advantage of employing a web accelerator is that a given Internet site shall perform significantly faster without employing more system resources. On the contrary, this type of a site will need a lesser amount of resources to work since the web accelerator will take care of most requests rather than the hosting server. Unlike many companies which do not offer web accelerators with their solutions or offer one, we offer 3 different ones that will allow you to speed up your websites irrespective of their style or content.

Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting

If you buy one of our shared hosting packages, you'll have three popular web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly using the Hepsia CP which is included with our packages. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it can tremendously accelerate any Internet site since it caches the web pages which a site visitor opens for the first time and provides them each time that guest opens them again. Because Varnish operates noticeably faster than any server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator will improve noticeably. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between a website visitor and a web server, so it is comparable to Varnish, but is employed largely for database-driven websites. Because the site will connect to its database way less, the overall web server load will be decreased considerably. The third accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online apps such as chats and booking websites since it processes information in real time as soon as it is entered on the website by the users. Depending on the plan you select, these accelerators might be available or could be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted inside your semi-dedicated server account based on the nature of the website content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, therefore it's 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 website with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a website visitor opens a page. If this page is opened again by the very same website visitor, it will be provided by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the web server. Employing this web accelerator will minimize the load created by your Internet sites substantially. Last, but not least, Node.js will permit you to build scalable web applications like hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it does not wait for a client to submit a sizable piece of info, but processes whatever the client is inputting in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia Control Panel and you'll be able to pick how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

We offer Memcached, Node.js and Varnish with all VPS servers that are purchased with the Hepsia Control Panel. Your server shall also feature a few hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for these accelerators and the specific amount depends on the plan that you select. Memcached is employed for script-driven sites because it caches database responses, as a result decreasing the amount of queries which a script sends to its database. It could be used for any script including WordPress or Joomla™. Node.js is an effective platform for creating web apps such as booking websites and chats. The real-time interaction between end users and a hosting server is performed by processing smaller pieces of data as soon any user enters anything on the website. In comparison, other platforms await customers to enter loads of info before they process it, therefore they work more slowly. Varnish is a multi-purpose accelerator which caches entire pages and provides them instead of the server at a considerably faster rate. It's also known as an HTTP reverse proxy and it can effortlessly speed up any kind of Internet site.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are available by default with all our dedicated servers which are ordered with Hepsia as the web hosting Control Panel. These three web accelerators offer several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you can employ them to speed up any sort of site. Memcached can significantly lessen the load on the hosting server if you have script-driven websites as it caches database responses, therefore it lessens the number of database queries which the web server has to handle. Node.js shall enable you to build scalable applications with real-time user-server interaction like chats or dining booking sites. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it processes data the moment the end user enters it, so all the data is managed faster and in small bits. Varnish caches whole Internet pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them each and every time the same website visitor opens them again, which makes it a universal accelerator for any kind of Internet sites. Since it functions faster than any web server, it could speed up a website at least several times and due to this fact, Varnish is amongst the most popular web accelerators out there.
