A web accelerator is a program which accelerates a website, typically by caching its content. There are various types of accelerators, but in the general case this kind of programs cache static content or database responses and deliver them in place of the hosting server, thus enhancing the performance of a website significantly. The latter can be done because accelerator programs work faster than a server and not only will an Internet site work better, but the server load shall also lessen, which will permit you to run heavy Internet sites with less system resources. We provide three web accelerators with our hosting solutions, which will allow you to speed up any sort of website. In comparison, most Internet hosting businesses don't offer any web accelerators or offer only one, which limits your choice of web applications if you would like to use this kind of software.

Web Accelerators in Website Hosting

If you buy one of our website hosting solutions, you'll have 3 popular web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly through the Hepsia CP that comes with our plans. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it can tremendously speed up any site because it caches the web pages a site visitor opens for the first time and provides them each and every time that visitor opens them again. Since Varnish works considerably faster than any server, the loading speed of any Internet site using the accelerator will improve significantly. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between an Internet site visitor and a web server, so it's comparable to Varnish, but is employed predominantly for database-driven websites. Because the site will connect to its database much less, the overall web server load shall be minimized substantially. The last accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online apps including chats and booking sites as it processes data in real time the moment it is entered on the website by the users. Dependant upon the plan you choose, these accelerators might be available or could be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with our semi-dedicated server plans will enable you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. Memcached is among the most famous accelerators because it can easily speed up any API or database-driven website by caching requests and responses, thus the hosting server won't have to process identical requests time and time again. The platform is ideal for websites developed with apps such as Joomla, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is a powerful accelerator which caches any kind of content and is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches pages that are opened by a site visitor for the first time and provides them every time that same visitor opens them again. Varnish can easily speed up a site several times because it delivers content quicker than any web server. Node.js is a platform employed for scalable real-time applications such as chats, Internet browser games or social networks. It processes information in little bits as soon as a user enters something, therefore it functions faster than similar platforms where users submit sizeable parts of data that require time to be processed. You could select the number of instances and the dedicated memory for every one of the three accelerators via your CP.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

In case you select Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel for your new dedicated server, you will have Memcached, Varnish and Node.js readily available for increasing the speed of your sites. Memcached can easily reduce the load on the hosting server by lowering the queries your script-driven websites make because it caches database responses. This web accelerator is good for dynamic Internet sites developed with WordPress, Joomla and comparable scripts. Varnish, which is often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches entire sites the first time a new visitor opens them. It may be employed to speed up any type of Internet site since it provides the cached content much quicker than the web server any time a website visitor opens the same site again. You could employ Node.js for online applications that demand real-time server-client interaction such as online chats or booking sites. Different from other platforms that wait for the user to fill everything on a form, Node.js processes the information gradually as the user fills each box, so it works considerably faster and more efficiently. All dedicated server packages include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these three web accelerators.
