A web accelerator is a server-side program which speeds up a website. Such a piece of software could operate in different ways based on the site content, but in the typical situation all such programs cache content and deliver it instead of the server. This is valid for both dynamic and static websites since the cached content could be simple text or database responses and the benefit of employing a web accelerator is not only the faster loading website, but also the smaller overall load on the web server. This way, you may use a lower-end hosting package that'll also cost less while your visitors will be able to still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Few firms offer web accelerators with their hosting plans and they typically offer just one, while we offer three different ones that'll allow you to improve the performance of any kind of site tremendously.
Web Accelerators in Cloud Web Hosting
When you get one of our cloud web hosting packages, you shall have 3 popular web accelerators at your disposal and you will be able to access them directly using the Hepsia CP that is included with our packages. Varnish is one of the most popular ones and it could greatly increase the speed of any Internet site because it caches the pages which a website visitor opens for the first time and provides them each time that website visitor opens them again. Since Varnish functions faster than any web server, the loading speed of any website using the accelerator will improve significantly. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between a visitor and a server, so it's similar to Varnish, but is used largely for database-driven sites. Since the site shall connect to its database a lot less, the overall hosting server load will be decreased significantly. The third accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online programs such as chats and booking websites as it processes information in real time as soon as it is entered on the site by the users. Depending on the plan you select, these accelerators might be available or could be an optional upgrade.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted in your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, therefore it's a fantastic option for any script app like WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server shall not need to process the same request if a number of users open a page with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a website visitor opens a page. If this page is opened again by the same visitor, it'll be provided by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the web server. Using this web accelerator can minimize the load created by your sites drastically. Last, but not least, Node.js shall enable you to build scalable web applications like 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 data, but processes whatever the client is inputting in real-time. The three web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia CP and you will be able to choose how many instances of each one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll employ.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
In case you obtain a VPS server with the Hepsia CP, you shall be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. All three accelerators are included inside our plans by default and offer dedicated memory of several hundred MBs. Node.js is used to develop scalable applications where real-time interaction is necessary - booking Internet sites, online games, chats, and so forth. It processes the info in small portions as the user is entering it, thus it operates quicker than other platforms which wait for the end users to input one sizeable part of information. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that operates as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it when the same guest opens the same webpage again, which can certainly speed any Internet site several times due to the fact that Varnish operates quicker than any server. Memcached is used 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 web server as it will reduced the number of database queries that your sites make.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are offered by default with all of our dedicated servers that are ordered with Hepsia as the web hosting CP. These three web accelerators come with several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you can use them to speed up any sort of site. Memcached can drastically reduce the load on the hosting server if you have script-driven sites because it caches database responses, thus it lessens the amount of database queries which the web server has to deal with. Node.js shall permit you to create scalable programs with real-time user-server interaction like chats or dining booking Internet sites. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it processes info the moment the user enters it, so all the data is taken care of faster and in small portions. Varnish caches whole pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them each and every time the same guest opens them again, which makes it a universal accelerator for any sort of websites. Because it works faster than any hosting server, it can easily speed up a website at least several times and for that reason, Varnish is among the most widely used web accelerators around.
