A web accelerator is a program which speeds up a website, usually by caching its content. There are various sorts of accelerators, but in the typical case such applications cache static content or database responses and deliver them instead of the server, therefore increasing the performance of a site greatly. The latter can be done because accelerator programs work faster than a server and not only will a website operate better, but the server load will also minimize, which will enable you to run heavy sites with less system resources. We offer three web accelerators with our hosting packages, which will allow you to increase the speed of any kind of website. In comparison, most website hosting providers do not offer any web accelerators or provide only one, which limits your choice of web apps in the event that you want to employ this type of software.
Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting
When you purchase one of our shared hosting solutions, you'll have 3 popular web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly via the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with our solutions. Varnish is one of the most well-known ones and it can greatly accelerate any website as it caches the pages which a website visitor opens for the first time and provides them each time that visitor opens them again. Because Varnish works much faster than any server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator shall improve considerably. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between a site visitor and a hosting server, so it's similar to Varnish, but is employed primarily for database-driven sites. Because the Internet site shall connect to its database much less, the overall hosting server load shall be reduced substantially. The third accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online programs like chats and booking sites since it processes info in real time the instant it is entered on the site by the users. Based on the plan you pick, these accelerators could be available or might be an optional upgrade.
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 based on the nature of the website content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, therefore it's an excellent choice for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server will not need to process the same request if many users open a site with the same content. Varnish is very 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 webpage is opened again by the exact same guest, it will be provided by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the web server. Using this web accelerator will minimize the load created by your websites drastically. Last, but not least, Node.js will enable you to produce scalable web apps such as hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it does not wait for a client to submit a big piece of info, but processes whatever the user is typing in real-time. The three web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to choose how many instances of each one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may employ.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
All VPS servers which are integrated with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you shall get several hundred MBs of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches webpages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them if that visitor opens them again, hence the server will not need to perform any action. Because Varnish operates much faster than any hosting server, an Internet site using this accelerator shall function several times swifter. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it is used for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven applications which store their content inside a database. Node.js is an effective platform for creating scalable web applications. Any information on a site that uses Node.js is processed in real time, which makes it a great choice for dining and accommodation booking Internet sites, web-based chats, Internet browser games, and so on.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are offered by default with all our dedicated servers that are ordered with Hepsia as the Internet hosting Control Panel. These three web accelerators include several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you may use them to speed up any kind of site. Memcached can drastically lessen the load on the hosting server if you have script-driven sites because it caches database responses, therefore it decreases the amount of database queries that the server has to tackle. Node.js shall allow you to create scalable apps with real-time user-server interaction such as chats or dining booking sites. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it processes information the moment the user enters it, so all the info is handled faster and in small portions. Varnish caches whole webpages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them each time the same website visitor opens them again, that makes it a universal accelerator for any kind of Internet sites. Since it functions quicker than any server, it can easily speed up a site at least several times and for that reason, Varnish is amongst the most widely used web accelerators out there.
