A web accelerator is a software which speeds up a website, typically by caching its content. There are many kinds of accelerators, but in the common case this kind of programs cache static content or database responses and deliver them in place of the web server, hence enhancing the performance of a site significantly. The latter can be done because accelerator programs work faster than a server and not only will a site function better, but the server load shall also minimize, which will permit you to run heavy sites with less system resources. We provide 3 web accelerators with our hosting solutions, which will permit you to accelerate any sort of site. In comparison, most hosting businesses don't offer any web accelerators or provide only one, which limits your choice of web apps in the event that you'd like to employ this type of software.

Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting

In case you acquire one of our shared hosting plans, you'll have three popular web accelerators at your disposal and you'll be able to access them directly through the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our solutions. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it can significantly accelerate any site because it caches the web pages which a website visitor opens for the first time and provides them each time that website visitor opens them again. Because Varnish functions much faster than any hosting server, the loading speed of any website using the accelerator will improve substantially. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between a site visitor and a server, so it is much like Varnish, but is employed largely for database-driven websites. Since the website will connect to its database a lot less, the overall hosting server load will be minimized notably. The third accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online programs such as chats and booking websites as it processes information in real time the moment it is entered on the website by the users. Based on the package you pick, these accelerators may be available or could be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted in your semi-dedicated hosting account depending on the nature of the website content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, so it is a superb option for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server won't have to process the same request if multiple users open a site with the same content. Varnish is very similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any kind of content the first time a guest opens an Internet site. In case that web page is opened again by the same guest, it'll be provided by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the hosting server. Employing this web accelerator will reduce the load generated by your Internet sites substantially. Last, but not least, Node.js will allow you to produce scalable web applications such as hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a user to submit a large piece of info, but processes whatever the user is typing in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP and you will be able to pick how many instances of each one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may use.

Web Accelerators in VPS

All virtual private servers which are incorporated with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you'll get several hundred MBs of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that's also often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them in case that guest opens them again, hence the server shall not need to perform any action. As Varnish works considerably faster than any web server, a site employing this accelerator will work several times swifter. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it is used for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven programs which store their content inside a database. Node.js is an efficient platform for creating scalable web programs. Any data on an Internet site which employs Node.js is processed instantly, making it a superb choice for dining and accommodation booking Internet sites, web-based chats, web browser games, etc.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Hosting

In case you get a dedicated server from our firm and you pick Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All plans include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the specific amount depends on the package deal you select. Node.js is used for scalable online apps like browser games or hotel booking and it processes the info right away as the client enters it, which makes it considerably faster than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven Internet site, not only will the Internet site work faster, but also the load on the web server will minimize because there will be considerably less database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it's not limited to databases. Rather, it caches entire websites once a guest opens them and provides them instead of the hosting server every time the same visitor opens them later on. Due to the fact that Varnish processes web requests much faster than any web server, the performance of a website using this accelerator could increase nearly 300%.
