A web accelerator is a software which quickens an Internet site, usually by caching its content. There are different kinds of accelerators, but in the general case this kind of applications cache static content or database responses and deliver them instead of the web server, thus enhancing the performance of an Internet site greatly. The latter is achievable because accelerator applications work faster than a server and not only will a website work better, but the server load will also lessen, which will permit you to run heavy websites with less resources. We offer three web accelerators with our hosting packages, which will enable you to accelerate any kind of website. In comparison, most Internet hosting companies don't provide any web accelerators or offer one, which limits your choice of web applications if you would like to use this kind of software.

Web Accelerators in Hosting

When you purchase one of our hosting packages, you'll have 3 widely used web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly via the Hepsia CP which is included with our packages. Varnish is one of the most popular ones and it can greatly speed up any site as it caches the web pages which a site visitor opens for the first time and provides them every time that visitor opens them again. Since Varnish works noticeably faster than any hosting server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator shall grow significantly. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between a website visitor and a server, so it is similar to Varnish, but is employed largely for database-driven Internet sites. Since the website will connect to its database significantly less, the overall hosting server load will be decreased substantially. The 3rd accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online applications like chats and booking websites because it processes info in real time as soon as it is entered on the website by the users. Dependant upon the package you pick, these accelerators could be available or may be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the sites hosted inside your semi-dedicated server account depending on the nature of the site content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, therefore it is a fantastic choice for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server will not need to process the exact same request if multiple users open a site with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it's a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any sort of content the first time a visitor opens a site. In case that page is opened again by the same guest, it will be provided by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the hosting server. Employing this web accelerator will minimize the load generated by your websites substantially. Last, but not least, Node.js will allow you to build scalable web apps like hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it doesn't wait for a client to submit a sizable piece of information, but processes whatever the user is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP and you will be able to pick how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may use.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are provided by default with all our dedicated servers which are ordered with Hepsia as the web hosting Control Panel. These 3 web accelerators come with several gbs of dedicated memory and you could use them to speed up any sort of Internet site. Memcached can substantially reduce the load on the web server if you have script-driven websites as it caches database responses, so it decreases the amount of database queries that the web server has to take care of. Node.js shall permit you to build scalable apps with real-time user-server interaction such as chats or dining booking websites. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it processes information the instant the end user enters it, so all the info is handled quicker and in small parts. Varnish caches entire pages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them each time the same guest opens them again, which makes it a universal accelerator for any sort of Internet sites. Because it operates faster than any web server, it can easily speed up a site at least several times and as a result, Varnish is amongst the most popular web accelerators on the market.
