A web accelerator is a program that speeds up an Internet site, usually by caching its content. There are various types of accelerators, but in the common case this sort of apps cache static content or database responses and deliver them instead of the hosting server, hence increasing the performance of an Internet site greatly. The latter is achievable because accelerator applications work faster than a hosting server and not simply will an Internet site operate better, but the server load shall also decline, which will enable you to run heavy websites with less resources. We provide 3 web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will permit you to speed up any type of website. In comparison, most hosting service providers do not offer any web accelerators or offer one, which limits your choice of web apps in case you'd like to employ such software.

Web Accelerators in Web Hosting

We provide 3 of the most well-known web accelerators along with our web hosting packages and based on what plan you will choose when you sign up, they may already be available or they may be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most widely used one of them and it can be used for any kind of site. It caches the web pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them at a considerably faster speed compared to the hosting server every time that a website visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it can easily boost the speed of dynamic Internet sites including online stores, forums or social networks. Node.js is employed for scalable web applications and it works in real-time, which makes it excellent for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, and so forth. You'll be able to choose what amount of memory these accelerators will employ and how many instances of each and every one shall run from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

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 based on the nature of the website content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, therefore it is an excellent option for any script app such as WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database server shall not have to process the exact same request if many users open a webpage with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any kind of content the first time a visitor opens an Internet site. If this webpage is opened again by the very same guest, it will be provided by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the hosting server. Employing this web accelerator shall minimize the load generated by your Internet sites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js will permit you to create scalable web apps such as hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a client to submit a big piece of information, but processes whatever the customer is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia CP and you'll be able to pick how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll employ.

Web Accelerators in VPS Hosting

All virtual private servers that are integrated with the Hepsia CP come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you shall receive several hundred MBs of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that is also often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches pages the first time a guest opens them and provides them in case that visitor opens them again, so the web server will not need to perform any action. Due to the fact that Varnish works much faster than any server, a website using this accelerator shall function several times quicker. Memcached is a platform that caches database calls and responses and it's used for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven apps that store their content in a database. Node.js is an effective platform for building scalable web apps. Any information on a website that employs Node.js is processed instantly, making it a fantastic choice for dining and accommodation booking Internet sites, web-based chats, Internet browser games, etcetera.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you obtain a dedicated server from our firm and you select Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to employ Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All packages include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the actual amount depends on the package deal you select. Node.js is used for scalable online applications including browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information instantly as the user enters it, which makes it considerably faster than very similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven Internet site, not only will the site work faster, but also the load on the web server will reduce as there will be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it is not limited to databases. Rather, it caches whole pages once a guest opens them and delivers them instead of the web server whenever the same visitor opens them afterwards. Because Varnish processes web requests much faster than any server, the overall performance of a site using this accelerator could increase as much as 300%.
