A web accelerator is a server-side app that speeds up a website. Such a piece of software can function in different ways depending upon the website content, but in the typical case all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the web server. That's valid for both dynamic and static Internet sites because the cached content can be simple text or database responses and the advantage of employing a web accelerator is not only the faster loading website, but also the decreased overall load on the server. This way, you may employ a lower-end hosting solution that will also cost less while your visitors can still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Handful of companies supply web accelerators with their hosting deals and they typically offer just 1, while we offer three different ones that'll allow you to enhance the performance of any kind of website considerably.

Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting

In case you host your Internet sites inside a shared hosting account from our firm, you will have 3 popular web accelerators to choose from if you would like to improve the sites' functionality. Memcached is employed for database-driven Internet sites and it caches the calls and requests between a site and its database, so it could lessen the load of such sites tremendously. Varnish caches whole web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same site visitor opens them again. It does that much faster than the server, so it can raise the loading speed of any Internet site as much as 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time applications which functions on the hosting server and not inside the visitor's web browser. It is used for accommodation booking, chats and other applications where a lot of data should be processed in real time. The availability of those accelerators depends on the hosting plan that you pick - they might come by default or as an upgrade. In both cases, you'll be able to add more instances or more memory for each of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the Internet sites hosted within your semi-dedicated hosting account depending on the nature of the website content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, therefore it's a great choice for any script program like WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database web server won't need to process exactly the same request if multiple users open a site with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a guest opens a page. If that web page is opened again by the very same website visitor, it will be provided by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the server. Using this web accelerator shall reduce the load created by your sites drastically. Last, but not least, Node.js will enable you to create scalable web applications such as hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a user to submit a large piece of data, but processes whatever the customer is inputting in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available within the Hepsia Control Panel and you'll be able to select 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

If you obtain a virtual private server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All 3 accelerators are incorporated inside our packages by default and feature dedicated memory of several hundred MBs. Node.js is used to develop scalable programs where real-time interaction is needed - booking websites, online flash games, chats, and so forth. It processes the information in small parts as the user is entering it, therefore it works quicker than other platforms that wait for the end users to input one massive part of data. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that operates as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it when the same guest opens the same website again, which can easily speed any site several times as Varnish operates quicker than any web server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, so it's suitable for script-driven websites such as WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator will be able to minimize the load on your hosting server as it will reduced the amount of database queries which your websites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Hosting

Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are available by default with all our dedicated servers that are ordered with Hepsia as the website hosting CP. These 3 web accelerators feature several gbs of dedicated memory and you could employ them to speed up any type of website. Memcached can drastically lessen the load on the server if you have script-driven websites since it caches database responses, thus it minimizes the amount of database queries the server has to tackle. Node.js will enable you to develop scalable programs with real-time user-server interaction such as chats or dining booking sites. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it processes information the moment the user enters it, so all the information is managed quicker and in small bits. Varnish caches whole Internet pages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them each and every time the same website visitor opens them again, which makes it a universal accelerator for any sort of websites. As it works quicker than any hosting server, it could speed up a website at least several times and because of this, Varnish is among the most popular web accelerators on the market.
