A web accelerator is a server-side program which speeds up a site. Such a piece of software could work in different ways based on the website content, but in the typical situation all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. This is valid for both dynamic and static sites since the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the benefit of employing a web accelerator is not simply the faster loading site, but also the smaller overall load on the machine. This way, you can employ a lower-end hosting solution which will also cost less while your site visitors could still enjoy high browsing speeds. Handful of firms supply web accelerators with their hosting plans and they typically offer only 1, while we offer 3 different ones that'll permit you to improve the performance of any type of site substantially.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Website Hosting

If you buy one of our cloud website hosting solutions, you shall have three well-known web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly through the Hepsia CP which is included with our packages. Varnish is one of the most popular ones and it could significantly increase the speed of any Internet site since it caches the pages a site visitor opens for the first time and delivers them every time that visitor opens them again. Since Varnish operates faster than any web server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator shall grow considerably. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between a site visitor and a hosting server, so it's comparable to Varnish, but is employed predominantly for database-driven sites. Considering that the Internet site will connect to its database way less, the overall web server load shall be decreased considerably. The last accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online applications like chats and booking Internet sites since it processes info in real time the moment it is entered on the webpage by the users. Depending 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 sites hosted inside your semi-dedicated server account depending on the nature of the website content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, so it is an excellent option for any script application such as WordPress or Joomla. This way, the database hosting server will not need to process the same request if many users open a site with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it's a general-purpose accelerator because it caches any kind of content the first time a website visitor opens a site. In case that webpage is opened again by the very same website visitor, it will be provided by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the web server. Using this web accelerator will lessen the load created by your Internet sites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js will allow you to create scalable web programs like hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a client to submit a sizable piece of data, but processes whatever the user is typing in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to choose how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can employ.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

If you obtain a VPS server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. All three accelerators are incorporated in our solutions by default and offer dedicated memory of several hundred megabytes. Node.js is used to build scalable applications where real-time interaction is required - booking sites, online games, chats, and so forth. It processes the data in little portions as the user is entering it, therefore it functions quicker than other platforms which wait for the users to input one big bit of data. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that operates as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it in the event that the same visitor opens the same page again, which can speed any Internet site several times because Varnish operates more quickly than any server. Memcached is used for caching API and database responses, so it is ideal for script-driven websites such as WordPress and Joomla. This web accelerator can easily minimize the load on your hosting server as it shall reduce the amount of database queries that your websites make.

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 offer several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you may use them to speed up any type of website. Memcached can substantially minimize the load on the web server if you have script-driven websites since it caches database responses, thus it decreases the amount of database queries that the hosting server has to take care of. Node.js shall permit you to develop scalable apps with real-time user-server interaction including chats or dining booking sites. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it processes data the moment the user enters it, so all the data is managed swifter and in small pieces. Varnish caches whole Internet pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them every time the same visitor opens them again, that makes it a universal accelerator for any type of sites. Because it functions quicker than any web server, it could speed up an Internet site at least several times and for that reason, Varnish is amongst the most widely used web accelerators around.
