A web accelerator is a server-side application which accelerates an Internet site. Such a piece of software could work in different ways depending on the website content, but in the general situation all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. This is valid for both dynamic and static websites since the cached content can be simple text or database responses and the advantage of employing a web accelerator isn't only the faster loading website, but also the smaller overall load on the web server. That way, you may use a lower-end hosting solution which will also cost less while your site visitors could still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Few companies supply web accelerators with their hosting packages and they usually offer just one, while we offer three different ones which will permit you to improve the performance of any type of website substantially.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Web Hosting

If you buy one of our cloud web hosting solutions, you will have three well-known web accelerators at your disposal and you will be able to access them directly using the Hepsia CP that comes with our solutions. Varnish is one of the most well-known ones and it could greatly speed up any website because it caches the pages that a visitor opens for the first time and delivers them each time that guest opens them again. Given that Varnish operates considerably faster than any server, the loading speed of any Internet site using the accelerator will grow significantly. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between a site visitor and a web server, so it's similar to Varnish, but is used largely for database-driven Internet sites. Considering that the site will connect to its database a lot less, the overall server load will be reduced considerably. The last accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online applications like chats and booking sites as it processes information in real time as soon as it is entered on the site by the users. Dependant upon the plan you choose, these accelerators may be available or may be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the Internet sites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the website content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, so it is a superb choice for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server shall not have to process the very same request if a number of users open a site with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it is a general-purpose accelerator because it caches any kind of content the first time a guest opens a page. In case that web page is opened again by the exact same visitor, it will be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the hosting server. Using this web accelerator shall lessen the load generated by your Internet sites tremendously. Last, but not least, Node.js shall permit you to build 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 large piece of info, but processes whatever the user is inputting in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available in the Hepsia CP and you'll be able to pick how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

In case you get a VPS server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you shall be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All 3 accelerators are included inside our solutions by default and offer dedicated memory of several hundred MBs. Node.js is employed to build scalable programs where real-time interaction is necessary - booking sites, online games, chats, etc. It processes the information in small parts as the user is entering it, therefore it functions quicker than other platforms that wait for the end users to submit one large piece of data. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that works as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it when the same guest opens the same website again, which can easily speed any website several times because Varnish functions quicker than any server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, consequently it is ideal for script-driven websites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator will be able to decrease the load on your hosting server because it shall decrease the number of database queries that your Internet sites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are offered with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and in accordance with the plan that you select, you'll also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached will reduce the hosting server load by lowering the amount of queries that need to be taken care of as it caches database calls and responses. You will be able to use it on any site that uses an API or a database - as an example, any website built with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can enhance the performance of any type of website by caching whole webpages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator provides the web pages if the same visitor opens them later on and considering the fact that it does that much quicker than the server, the website visitor shall be able to browse your site at least several times faster. That is why Varnish is oftentimes categorised as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an advanced platform which will enable you to create booking sites, web chats and other apps in which real-time server-user interaction is needed. It processes the info in tiny parts as the user fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one massive chunk of information, which makes Node.js much faster than similar applications.
