A web accelerator is a server-side program that accelerates an Internet site. Such a piece of software can operate in different ways depending upon the site content, but in the general case all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. This is valid for both dynamic and static websites as the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the benefit of using a web accelerator is not just the faster loading website, but also the decreased overall load on the server. This way, you could employ a lower-end hosting package which will also cost less while your website visitors can still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Few companies supply web accelerators with their hosting plans and they often offer just one, while we offer 3 different ones which will allow you to improve the performance of any kind of site noticeably.

Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting

When you host your sites in a shared hosting account from our company, you will have three popular web accelerators to pick from if you'd like to enhance the sites' performance. Memcached is used for database-driven websites and it caches the calls and requests between a website and its database, so it can easily lessen the load of such Internet sites tremendously. Varnish caches whole webpages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same visitor opens them again. It does that much faster than the web server, so it can boost the loading speed of any website approximately 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time apps that operates on the hosting server and not inside the visitor's world-wide web browser. It is employed for accommodation booking, chats and other applications where a lot of data should be processed in real time. The availability of the accelerators depends on the hosting solution that you pick - they could come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you'll be able to include more instances or more memory for each one of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted within your semi-dedicated hosting account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, therefore it's a fantastic choice for any script app like WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server won't need to process the exact same request if multiple users open a website with the same content. Varnish is very similar, but it is a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any sort of content the first time a visitor opens a page. In case that web page is opened again by the very same guest, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the server. Employing this web accelerator will lessen the load created by your sites tremendously. Last, but not least, Node.js will allow you to create scalable web apps like hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it doesn't wait for a customer to submit a big piece of info, but processes whatever the customer is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to select how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Hosting

All virtual private servers which are set up with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you shall get several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, which is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches pages the first time a guest opens them and provides them when that visitor opens them again, so the hosting server shall not need to perform any action. Because Varnish functions much faster than any web server, a site employing this accelerator shall work several times faster. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it is employed for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven apps that store their content in a database. Node.js is a highly effective platform for developing scalable web apps. Any information on a website which employs Node.js is processed right away, making it a great choice for dining and accommodation booking websites, web-based chats, browser games, etc.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting

Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are offered with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and based on the plan you select, you shall also have several gbs of dedicated memory for them. Memcached can minimize the hosting server load by lowering the number of queries which have to be handled since it caches database calls and responses. You shall be able to use it on every website which uses an API or a database - for example, any site designed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish could enhance the performance of any type of Internet site by caching whole pages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator provides the webpages if the very same visitor opens them later on and because it does that faster than the hosting server, the website visitor will be able to surf your site at least several times faster. For this reason Varnish is often categorised as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is a sophisticated platform which will enable you to create booking websites, web chats and other apps where real-time server-user interaction is needed. It processes the information in tiny bits as the client fills different boxes and doesn't wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one sizeable chunk of info, which makes Node.js considerably quicker than similar programs.
