A web accelerator is a server-side application which speeds up a website. Such a piece of software could operate in different ways based on the website content, but in the general situation all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the web server. This is valid for both dynamic and static sites because the cached content could be simple text or database responses and the benefit of employing a web accelerator is not simply the faster loading Internet site, but also the minimized overall load on the web server. That way, you may employ a lower-end hosting solution that will also cost less while your site visitors could still enjoy high browsing speeds. Few companies offer web accelerators with their hosting packages and they typically offer only one, while we offer three different ones that will enable you to improve the performance of any sort of website tremendously.
Web Accelerators in Shared Web Hosting
If you purchase one of our shared web hosting plans, you'll have 3 well-known web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly via the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with our packages. Varnish is one of the most well-known ones and it can significantly increase the speed of any website because it caches the pages that a visitor opens for the first time and delivers them every time that guest opens them again. Since Varnish functions considerably faster than any web server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator shall improve substantially. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between an Internet site visitor and a server, so it is comparable to Varnish, but is employed primarily for database-driven Internet sites. Since the Internet site will connect to its database significantly less, the overall server load will be decreased significantly. The last accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online apps such as chats and booking websites because it processes data in real time as soon as it is entered on the site by the users. Based on the plan you select, these accelerators might be available or could be an optional upgrade.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the Internet sites hosted in your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the website content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, so it is a superb option for any script app such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server will not have to process the very same request if multiple users open a webpage with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a visitor opens a page. If that web page is opened again by the same guest, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the server. Using this web accelerator shall minimize the load produced by your websites substantially. Last, but not least, Node.js will allow you to produce scalable web applications such as hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a client to submit a large piece of info, but processes whatever the client is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available in the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to choose how many instances of each one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may use.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
In the event that you obtain a VPS server with the Hepsia CP, you shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All 3 accelerators are incorporated within our packages by default and feature dedicated memory of several hundred MBs. Node.js is used to create scalable programs where real-time interaction is necessary - booking websites, online games, chats, and so on. It processes the information in smaller pieces as the end user is entering it, as a result it operates faster than other platforms that wait for the end users to enter one big part of info. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that works as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it when the same site visitor opens the same webpage again, which can easily speed any site several times because Varnish functions quicker than any web server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, so it's appropriate for script-driven Internet sites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator will be able to minimize the load on your server as it will reduced the amount of database queries that your websites 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 hosting CP. These three web accelerators include several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you may employ them to speed up any sort of site. Memcached can drastically lessen the load on the web server if you have script-driven sites since it caches database responses, so it minimizes the number of database queries that the server has to take care of. Node.js will permit you to build scalable apps with real-time user-server interaction like chats or dining booking Internet sites. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it processes info the instant the user enters it, so all the info is taken care of faster and in small portions. Varnish caches entire webpages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them each and every time the same guest opens them again, which makes it a universal accelerator for any kind of Internet sites. Because it operates quicker than any server, it can speed up a site at least several times and due to this fact, Varnish is one of the most widely used web accelerators out there.
