A web accelerator is an application that accelerates a site, usually by caching its content. There are various types of accelerators, but in the typical case such apps cache static content or database responses and supply them instead of the server, as a consequence improving the performance of a site noticeably. The latter can be done because accelerator apps work faster than a hosting server and not simply will a site work better, but the server load shall also decline, which will enable you to run heavy Internet sites with less resources. We offer 3 web accelerators with our hosting solutions, which will enable you to speed up any kind of website. In comparison, most Internet hosting providers don't provide any web accelerators or provide only 1, which limits your choice of web apps if you'd like to employ this kind of software.

Web Accelerators in Hosting

When you acquire one of our hosting solutions, you'll have 3 well-known web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly through the Hepsia CP that comes with our packages. Varnish is one of the most well-known ones and it can greatly speed up any website since it caches the web pages a visitor opens for the first time and delivers them each time that visitor opens them again. Since Varnish works much faster than any web server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator will increase noticeably. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between a site visitor and a server, so it is comparable to Varnish, but is employed predominantly for database-driven websites. Since the website shall connect to its database a lot less, the overall web server load will be decreased significantly. The 3rd accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online applications like chats and booking websites since it processes info in real time the moment it is entered on the webpage by the users. Depending on the plan you select, these accelerators could be available or could be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server plans will allow you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js - three of the most effective web accelerators on the market. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses, thus it can accelerate any script-driven Internet site. You could use it for any website built with WordPress or Joomla™, for example. Varnish is also referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy and it's a general-purpose caching platform that may be employed for any sort of Internet sites. Depending on the content, it may boost the performance of a site up to 300%. Node.js is an advanced system used to develop scalable Internet applications that process information in real time for example booking portals. Its advantage is that in contrast to comparable platforms, it processes info constantly and in small parts as opposed to waiting for the user to submit one big piece of data. The accelerators can be enabled for any Internet site from the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to select how many instances of every one of them will work and how much memory they shall employ.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

If you obtain a VPS server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your Internet sites. All three accelerators are incorporated inside our solutions by default and come with dedicated memory of a few hundred megabytes. Node.js is used to develop scalable applications where real-time interaction is needed - booking sites, online games, chats, etcetera. It processes the information in small pieces as the user is entering it, therefore it works more quickly than other platforms which wait for the users to enter one large part of data. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator which operates as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it in case the same site visitor opens the same webpage again, which could speed any site several times since Varnish functions more quickly than any web server. Memcached is used for caching API and database responses, therefore it is ideal for script-driven Internet sites such as WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator will be able to lessen the load on your hosting server as it shall reduce the amount of database queries which your websites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

In case you select Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel for your new dedicated server, you shall have Memcached, Varnish and Node.js available for accelerating your websites. Memcached will be able to reduce the load on the web server by lowering the queries your script-driven websites make since it caches database responses. This web accelerator is good for dynamic Internet sites developed with WordPress, Joomla™ and similar scripts. Varnish, which is known as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches entire pages the first time a new guest opens them. It could be used to speed up any type of Internet site because it delivers the cached content way quicker than the server every time a customer opens the same site again. You could employ Node.js for online applications which demand real-time server-client interaction including online chats or booking Internet sites. Different from other platforms that wait for the user to enter everything on a form, Node.js processes the information gradually as the user fills every box, so it operates considerably quicker and more effectively. All dedicated server packages feature several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those 3 web accelerators.
