A web accelerator is a server-side app that accelerates an Internet site. Such a piece of software may operate in different ways based on the site content, but in the general case all such programs cache content and deliver it instead of the web server. That is valid for both dynamic and static sites since the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the advantage of using a web accelerator isn't just the faster loading Internet site, but also the minimized overall load on the hosting server. This way, you can employ a lower-end hosting package that will also cost less while your website visitors can still enjoy high browsing speeds. Handful of firms provide web accelerators with their hosting packages and they frequently offer only one, while we offer three different ones that'll enable you to improve the performance of any kind of Internet site noticeably.
Web Accelerators in Shared Web Hosting
When you acquire one of our shared web hosting solutions, you shall have three well-known web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly through the Hepsia CP that comes with our solutions. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it could significantly increase the speed of any site as it caches the pages a visitor opens for the first time and provides them every time that visitor opens them again. Since Varnish works way quicker than any web server, the loading speed of any Internet site using the accelerator shall raise substantially. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between a site visitor and a hosting server, so it is comparable to Varnish, but is employed primarily for database-driven websites. Because the site shall connect to its database a lot less, the overall web server load will be minimized significantly. The last accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online applications like chats and booking sites since it processes info in real time the instant it is entered on the webpage by the users. Based on the plan you choose, these accelerators could be available or could be an optional upgrade.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted inside your semi-dedicated hosting account based on the nature of the website content. Memcached, in particular, 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 very same request if multiple users open a website with the same content. Varnish is very similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any sort of content the first time a visitor opens an Internet site. If that web page is opened again by the exact same guest, it shall be provided by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the hosting server. Employing this web accelerator shall reduce the load created by your sites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js shall enable you to create scalable web apps such as hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a customer to submit a sizable piece of information, but processes whatever the client is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP and you'll be able to choose how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll use.
Web Accelerators in VPS Web Hosting
All virtual private servers that are integrated with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you shall have several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that's also known as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them if that guest opens them again, therefore the server won't have to perform any action. Since Varnish functions faster than any server, a site using this accelerator will work several times quicker. Memcached is a platform that caches database calls and responses and it is employed for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven programs that store their content in a database. Node.js is a highly effective platform for developing scalable web applications. Any info on a website which employs Node.js is processed in real time, which makes it a great choice for dining and accommodation booking Internet sites, web-based chats, browser games, etcetera.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If you get a dedicated server from us 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 come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the actual 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 right away as the user enters it, which makes it much faster than similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven site, not only will the site speed up, but also the load on the server will decline as there will be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Instead, it caches whole webpages once a guest opens them and provides them instead of the web server every time the same visitor opens them later. As Varnish processes web requests faster than any server, the performance of an Internet site using this accelerator can increase nearly 300%.
