A web accelerator is a program which speeds up a site, usually by caching its content. There are different sorts of accelerators, but in the common case such apps cache static content or database responses and deliver them instead of the hosting server, hence enhancing the performance of an Internet site noticeably. The latter is achievable because accelerator applications work faster than a server and not only will a site operate better, but the server load will also minimize, which will permit you to run heavy websites with less system resources. We provide three web accelerators with our hosting solutions, which will permit you to increase the speed of any kind of website. In comparison, most Internet hosting firms don't provide any web accelerators or provide one, which limits your choice of web apps in the event that you would like to use such software.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Website Hosting

We provide three of the most popular web accelerators along with our cloud website hosting services and based on what plan you will select when you sign up, they could already be available or they may be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most popular one of them and it may be employed for any kind of site. It caches the pages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them at a faster speed compared to the hosting server each time that a visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it could boost the speed of dynamic Internet sites such as online stores, community forums or social networks. Node.js is used for scalable web programs and it works in real-time, which makes it suitable for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, and so on. You'll be able to select what amount of memory these accelerators shall use and how many instances of each one shall run from your Hepsia web hosting CP.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted inside your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, so it is an excellent option for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database web server won't need to process the very same request if many users open a page with the same content. Varnish is very similar, but it is a general-purpose accelerator because it caches any kind of content the first time a website visitor opens a site. If that web page is opened again by the exact same website visitor, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the web server. Using this web accelerator can reduce the load produced by your sites substantially. Last, but not least, Node.js shall enable you to create scalable web apps such as hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it does not wait for a client to submit a sizable piece of information, but processes whatever the customer is inputting in real-time. The three web accelerators are available in 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

All VPS servers that are incorporated with the Hepsia CP come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you'll have several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that is also often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches webpages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them when that visitor opens them again, hence the server shall not need to perform any action. Due to the fact that Varnish operates much quicker than any server, a site employing this accelerator shall operate several times quicker. Memcached is a platform that 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 creating scalable web apps. Any info on a site which uses Node.js is processed right away, making it a great choice for dining and accommodation booking sites, web-based chats, Internet browser games, etc.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

In case you acquire a dedicated server from our firm and you choose Hepsia as the hosting CP, you will be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All plans come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the exact amount depends on the package deal that you select. Node.js is employed for scalable online apps such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information instantly as the user enters it, which makes it much faster than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven website, not only will the Internet site speed up, but also the load on the web server will reduce because there shall be less database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it's not limited to databases. Instead, it caches whole pages once a visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the server every time the same visitor opens them later. Since Varnish processes web requests faster than any web server, the overall performance of a site using this accelerator could increase around 300%.
