A web accelerator is an application which accelerates a website, typically by caching its content. There are different types of accelerators, but in the typical case this sort of apps cache static content or database responses and deliver them in lieu of the hosting server, hence enhancing the performance of a site drastically. The latter can be done because accelerator applications work faster than a web server and not only will an Internet site function better, but the server load shall also decrease, which will enable you to run heavy websites with less resources. We offer three web accelerators with our hosting packages, which will allow you to accelerate any sort of website. In comparison, most web hosting businesses don't provide any web accelerators or provide only one, which limits your choice of web apps in case you'd like to use such software.
Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting
In case you buy one of our shared hosting plans, you shall have three well-known web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly using the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our solutions. Varnish is one of the most popular ones and it can considerably increase the speed of any site as it caches the pages that a visitor opens for the first time and provides them each and every time that website visitor opens them again. Since Varnish operates way quicker than any server, the loading speed of any Internet site using the accelerator will grow substantially. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between a visitor and a server, so it's comparable to Varnish, but is employed predominantly for database-driven sites. Because the site shall connect to its database way less, the overall hosting server load shall be decreased notably. The last accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online programs such as chats and booking Internet sites as it processes data in real time as soon as it is entered on the site by the users. Based on the plan you pick, these accelerators may 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 websites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account based on the nature of the website content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, so it is a superb choice for any script application like WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server will not need to process the very same request if a number of users open a webpage with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it is a general-purpose accelerator because it caches any sort of content the first time a visitor opens a site. If this web page is opened again by the exact same website visitor, it will be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the web server. Using this web accelerator shall decrease the load generated by your websites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js shall permit you to create scalable web apps such as hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a user to submit a large piece of information, but processes whatever the customer is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia Control Panel and you'll be able to select how many instances of each one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may employ.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
In case you choose your VPS server to be integrated with the Hepsia CP, you shall be able to use Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - 3 of the most widely used web accelerators. Varnish caches sites the first time they are visited and provides them each time the same individual visits them again, which can boost any kind of website several times. Memcached is used for dynamic script apps like Joomla™ and WordPress since it caches database requests and responses, as a result the database web server will not have to process the exact same page every time guests open it in case the same content should be shown. Node.js is a platform for building real-time apps for example online games and chats. It operates considerably faster than similar platforms as it processes the info in small parts all the time and does not wait for users to input a large piece of data that shall require more time to be processed. The 3 web accelerators are provided with all Hepsia-based VPS packages and feature several hundred MBs of dedicated memory.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are provided by default with all of our dedicated servers which are ordered with Hepsia as the Internet hosting CP. These 3 web accelerators include several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you may use them to speed up any kind of Internet site. Memcached can greatly minimize the load on the web server if you have script-driven websites as it caches database responses, thus it minimizes the number of database queries which the server has to tackle. Node.js shall permit you to develop scalable apps with real-time user-server interaction like chats or dining booking websites. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it processes data the moment the end user enters it, so all the info is managed quicker and in small pieces. Varnish caches entire pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them every time the same visitor opens them again, which makes it a universal accelerator for any kind of Internet sites. As it works faster than any server, it could speed up an Internet site at least several times and due to this fact, Varnish is amongst the most popular web accelerators out there.
