A web accelerator is a server-side program which speeds up a website. Such a piece of software could work in different ways depending on the website content, but in the typical case all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the web server. This is valid for both dynamic and static websites since 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. That way, you may use a lower-end hosting solution that'll also cost less while your site visitors will be able to still enjoy high browsing speeds. Few businesses offer web accelerators with their hosting packages and they typically offer just one, while we offer 3 different ones that'll enable you to boost the performance of any kind of site substantially.
Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting
In case you host your sites inside a shared hosting account from our company, you'll have 3 popular web accelerators to select from if you would like to boost the sites' efficiency. Memcached is used for database-driven websites and it caches the calls and requests between a site and its database, so it can lessen the load of such websites considerably. Varnish caches whole web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same website visitor opens them again. It does that much faster than the web server, so it could increase the loading speed of any site approximately 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time apps that operates on the hosting server and not within the visitor's web browser. It's used for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other applications where loads of data has to be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends on the hosting package that you pick - they might come by default or as an upgrade. In both cases, you will be able to add more instances or more memory for each of them.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the Internet sites hosted inside your semi-dedicated hosting account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, so it is a great option for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server will not need to process the same request if many users open a site with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a website visitor opens a page. In case this web page is opened again by the very same website visitor, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the web server. Using this web accelerator will reduce the load produced by your sites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js shall allow you to build scalable web apps such as hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it doesn't wait for a user to submit a sizable piece of info, but processes whatever the customer is typing in real-time. The three web accelerators are available in the Hepsia CP and you will be able to choose how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can employ.
Web Accelerators in VPS
We offer Memcached, Node.js and Varnish with all virtual private servers which are acquired with the Hepsia Control Panel. Your hosting server shall also come with a few hundred MBs of dedicated memory for these accelerators and the particular amount would be determined by the package deal that you choose. Memcached is used for script-driven sites since it caches database responses, consequently decreasing the number of queries a script sends to its database. It could be used for any script including WordPress or Joomla™. Node.js is an efficient platform for developing web applications such as booking Internet sites and chats. The real-time interaction between users and a server is conducted by processing small pieces of info as soon any user enters anything on the webpage. By comparison, other platforms wait for customers to enter loads of info before they process it, consequently they operate slower. Varnish is a multi-purpose accelerator which caches whole pages and provides them instead of the server at a faster rate. It's also referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy and it can effortlessly speed up any sort of Internet site.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Hosting
In the event that you choose Hepsia as the hosting CP for your new dedicated server, you will have Memcached, Varnish and Node.js at your disposal for increasing the speed of your Internet sites. Memcached can lessen the load on the web server by lowering the queries your script-driven sites make since it caches database responses. This web accelerator is ideal for dynamic Internet sites designed with WordPress, Joomla™ and comparable scripts. Varnish, which is known as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches entire sites the first time a new guest opens them. It can be employed to accelerate any type of site as it provides the cached content much quicker than the server each time a website visitor opens the same webpage again. You can employ Node.js for online apps that demand real-time server-client interaction such as online chats or booking websites. Unlike other platforms which await the user to input everything on a form, Node.js processes the data bit by bit as the user fills each and every box, so it functions much faster and more effectively. All dedicated server plans come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those 3 web accelerators.
