A web accelerator is a server-side program that accelerates a site. Such a piece of software can function in different ways depending on the site content, but in the general situation all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the server. That's valid for both dynamic and static sites as the cached content can be simple text or database responses and the benefit of using a web accelerator is not only the faster loading website, but also the decreased overall load on the server. That way, you may use a lower-end hosting package which will also cost less while your site visitors will be able to still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Several firms provide web accelerators with their hosting plans and they often offer only 1, while we offer 3 different ones that'll permit you to boost the performance of any sort of site significantly.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting plans feature three web accelerators that you could employ depending on the Internet sites which you'd like to run. Memcached is employed to cache database or API calls and responses, which can tremendously improve the efficiency of dynamic websites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator which caches pages and delivers them to the website visitors considerably quicker than the hosting server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform used for scalable real-time apps such as booking websites. Depending on the Internet hosting solution you select, these 3 apps could already be included or could be optional upgrades. In either case, you shall be able to pick how many instances of each one of them shall be at your disposal and how much memory they should employ. These accelerators are supplied only by a handful of Internet hosting service providers, including ours, and they can easily raise the speed of your web apps considerably.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the sites hosted within your semi-dedicated hosting account depending on the nature of the site content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, therefore it's a great choice for any script application like WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database server won't have to process the exact same request if many users open a site with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any sort of content the first time a guest opens an Internet site. If this web page is opened again by the exact same visitor, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the server. Employing this web accelerator shall decrease the load created by your Internet sites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js will permit you to create scalable web applications such as hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it does not wait for a client to submit a large piece of info, but processes whatever the client is inputting in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available in the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to choose how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may use.

Web Accelerators in VPS

In case you obtain a virtual private server with the Hepsia CP, you shall be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your Internet sites. All three accelerators are included in our plans by default and offer dedicated memory of several hundred MBs. Node.js is employed to build scalable programs where real-time interaction is needed - booking Internet sites, online games, chats, and so on. It processes the information in smaller bits as the end user is entering it, therefore it operates more quickly than other platforms which wait for the users to submit one massive part of data. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator which works as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it when the same site visitor opens the same webpage again, which could speed any site several times due to the fact that Varnish functions quicker than any hosting server. Memcached is used for caching API and database responses, therefore it is suitable for script-driven websites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can reduce the load on your hosting server since it shall decrease the number of database queries your websites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Hosting

If you obtain a dedicated server from our company and you pick Hepsia as the hosting CP, you will be able to employ Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your sites. All solutions come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the actual amount depends on the plan you select. Node.js is used for scalable online applications such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the data in real time as the client enters it, which makes it considerably quicker than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven website, not only will the Internet site speed up, but also the load on the server will decline as there shall be a lesser amount of database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it's not at all limited to databases. Rather, it caches whole web pages once a visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the web server every time the same visitor opens them later on. Since Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any hosting server, the performance of a site using this accelerator could increase up to 300%.
