A web accelerator is a software program that speeds up an Internet site usually by caching content and delivering it instead of the server. Such applications may be used for both dynamic and static websites because there are a variety of accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The benefit of employing a web accelerator is that a given Internet site will perform substantially faster without employing extra resources. Quite the opposite, this type of a website will demand a lesser amount of resources to work since the web accelerator will tackle most requests instead of the hosting server. In contrast to many firms that do not offer web accelerators with their solutions or offer one, we offer 3 different ones that'll enable you to speed up your Internet sites regardless of their type or content.

Web Accelerators in Web Hosting

When you host your websites within a web hosting account from us, you'll have three popular web accelerators to choose from if you'd like to improve the sites' performance. Memcached is employed for database-driven websites and it caches the calls and requests between a website and its database, so it can easily reduce the load of such websites substantially. Varnish caches whole web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them from there on if the same site visitor opens them again. It does that considerably faster than the server, so it can easily boost the loading speed of any Internet site as much as 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time apps which functions on the hosting server and not within the visitor's browser. It is employed for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other apps where lots of data has to be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends upon the hosting plan that you pick - they might come by default or as an upgrade. In both cases, you shall be able to include more instances or more memory for each one of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account based on the nature of the site content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, therefore it is an excellent option for any script app like WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database server will not need to process the exact same request if a number of users open a site with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a website visitor opens an Internet site. If that webpage is opened again by the same guest, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the server. Using this web accelerator shall reduce the load created by your Internet sites drastically. Last, but not least, Node.js shall permit you to produce scalable web applications like hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a customer to submit a substantial piece of info, but processes whatever the customer is inputting in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available in the Hepsia Control Panel and you shall 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

In case you get a VPS server with the Hepsia CP, you shall be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. All 3 accelerators are integrated inside our solutions by default and feature dedicated memory of several hundred MBs. Node.js is used to build scalable applications where real-time interaction is necessary - booking sites, online flash games, chats, and so forth. It processes the info in little parts as the end user is entering it, thus it functions quicker than other platforms that wait for the end users to submit one sizeable part of info. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that works as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it if the same website visitor opens the same website again, which can certainly speed any website several times because Varnish operates a lot quicker than any hosting server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, therefore it is appropriate for script-driven sites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can easily minimize the load on your server since it'll reduced the number of database queries your websites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

In case you buy 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 sites. All packages come with 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 such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the info in real time as the user enters it, which makes it much quicker than similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven site, not only will the website work faster, but also the load on the web server will reduce because there will be less database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it's not limited to databases. Rather, it caches whole websites once a guest opens them and provides them instead of the hosting server whenever the same visitor opens them later on. As Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any server, the overall performance of a website using this accelerator can increase as much as 300%.
