A web accelerator is an application which accelerates a website, typically by caching its content. There are many kinds of accelerators, but in the common case this sort of applications cache static content or database responses and provide them in place of the hosting server, as a consequence improving the performance of a website noticeably. The latter is achievable because accelerator programs work faster than a server and not simply will a website function better, but the server load shall also minimize, which will allow you to run heavy sites with less resources. We offer 3 web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will allow you to speed up any sort of site. In comparison, most Internet hosting service providers do not provide any web accelerators or provide only 1, which limits your choice of web apps in case you would like to use such software.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Website Hosting

When you buy one of our cloud website hosting packages, you shall have 3 widely used web accelerators at your disposal and you will be able to access them directly via the Hepsia CP that is included with our packages. Varnish is one of the most well-known ones and it can considerably accelerate any website since it caches the pages a website visitor opens for the first time and provides them every time that visitor opens them again. Given that Varnish operates faster than any hosting server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator will improve significantly. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between a site visitor and a web server, so it's much like Varnish, but is used mainly for database-driven Internet sites. Because the Internet site shall connect to its database significantly less, the overall web server load will be decreased notably. The third accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online apps such as chats and booking sites because it processes information in real time the moment it is entered on the webpage by the users. Depending on the package you select, these accelerators might be available or might be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia CP which comes with our semi-dedicated server plans will allow you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. Memcached is one of the most widely used accelerators as it can increase the speed of any API or database-driven Internet site by caching requests and responses, thus the server will not need to process identical requests over and over again. The platform is ideal for sites designed with programs such as Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is an efficient accelerator that caches any type of content and is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches pages which are opened by a site visitor for the first time and provides them every time that same website visitor opens them again. Varnish can easily accelerate a website several times simply because it delivers content faster than any hosting server. Node.js is a platform used for scalable real-time apps such as chats, Internet browser games or social networks. It processes information in smaller parts as soon as a user types anything, therefore it operates considerably faster than similar platforms in which users submit massive chunks of information which require time to be processed. You could pick the number of instances and the dedicated memory for every one of the 3 accelerators through your CP.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

All VPS servers that are integrated with the Hepsia CP come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you'll receive several hundred MBs of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, which is also referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches pages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them if that visitor opens them again, so the hosting server won't need to perform any action. Since Varnish functions faster than any web server, an Internet site employing this accelerator will work several times faster. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it is used for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven applications that store their content within a database. Node.js is an efficient platform for building scalable web apps. Any info on an Internet site which employs Node.js is processed in real time, which makes it a great choice for dining and accommodation booking websites, web-based chats, Internet browser games, and so on.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are provided with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and depending on the package deal that you choose, you'll also have several gbs of dedicated memory for them. Memcached will reduce the hosting server load by lowering the number of queries which need to be taken care of because it caches database calls and responses. You'll be able to use it on every website which uses an API or a database - as an example, any site developed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish could boost the performance of any kind of Internet site by caching whole webpages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator delivers the web pages if the very same visitor opens them later and since it does that considerably faster than the server, the visitor will be able to browse your Internet site at least a couple of times faster. That is why Varnish is often called an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an advanced platform that will enable you to create booking websites, web chats and other programs where real-time server-user interaction is necessary. It processes the info in little parts as the client fills different boxes and doesn't wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one big chunk of info, which makes Node.js much quicker than similar applications.
