A web accelerator is a server-side program which accelerates a site. Such a piece of software could work in different ways based on the website content, but in the general situation all such programs cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That's valid for both dynamic and static websites since the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the advantage of using a web accelerator is not simply the faster loading website, but also the minimized overall load on the hosting server. This way, you'll be able to use a lower-end hosting package that will also cost less while your website visitors will be able to still enjoy high browsing speeds. Handful of firms offer web accelerators with their hosting packages and they frequently offer only 1, while we offer three different ones that'll permit you to improve the performance of any kind of site considerably.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Website Hosting

We offer 3 of the most popular web accelerators along with our cloud website hosting packages and based upon what plan you'll pick when you sign up, they may already be available or they may be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most widely used one of them and it could be used for any kind of Internet site. It caches the web pages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them at a faster speed compared to the hosting server every time that a visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it could boost the speed of dynamic Internet sites including online stores, forums or social networks. Node.js is used for scalable web apps and it operates in real-time, which makes it ideal for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, etc. You shall be able to select what amount of memory these accelerators shall employ and how many instances of each one shall run from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the Internet sites hosted inside your semi-dedicated server account depending on the nature of the site content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, therefore it is a fantastic choice for any script app such as WordPress or Joomla. This way, the database server will not need to process exactly the same request if many users open a site with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any type of content the first time a visitor opens an Internet site. If this web page is opened again by the same website visitor, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the web server. Employing this web accelerator shall decrease the load generated by your websites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js shall enable you to produce scalable web programs like hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it does not wait for a client to submit a substantial 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'll be able to choose how many instances of each one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll employ.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

All VPS servers which are incorporated with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you shall get several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches pages the first time a guest opens them and provides them in case that guest opens them again, therefore the hosting server shall not have to perform any action. Due to the fact that Varnish works faster than any web server, a website using this accelerator will operate several times quicker. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it's used for WordPress, Joomla and other script-driven apps that store their content inside a database. Node.js is a powerful platform for developing scalable web apps. Any information on a website which employs Node.js is processed in real time, which makes it an excellent choice for dining and accommodation booking Internet sites, web-based chats, browser games, and so on.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

In case you get a dedicated server from our company and you opt for Hepsia as the hosting CP, you will be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your sites. All plans feature several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the specific amount depends on the package you select. Node.js is used for scalable online applications such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information immediately as the user enters it, which makes it faster than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven website, not simply will the website speed up, but also the load on the server will decrease as there shall be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it's not limited to databases. Instead, it caches whole web pages once a website visitor opens them and provides them instead of the web server every time the same visitor opens them later. Since Varnish processes web requests considerably faster than any server, the performance of an Internet site using this accelerator can increase around 300%.
