A web accelerator is a software which accelerates a website, usually by caching its content. There are many types of accelerators, but in the general case such apps cache static content or database responses and provide them instead of the hosting server, thus enhancing the performance of an Internet site drastically. The latter is achievable because accelerator applications work faster than a hosting server and not simply will a website function better, but the server load shall also minimize, which will allow you to run heavy sites with less resources. We provide 3 web accelerators with our hosting solutions, which will enable you to accelerate any type of website. In comparison, most website hosting businesses do not provide any web accelerators or offer only one, which limits your choice of web apps in case you want to employ this type of software.

Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting

When you buy one of our shared hosting packages, you shall have 3 popular web accelerators at your disposal and you will 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 could significantly increase the speed of any Internet site because it caches the pages a site visitor opens for the first time and delivers them every time that website visitor opens them again. Since Varnish functions noticeably faster than any server, the loading speed of any Internet site using the accelerator will grow considerably. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between a site visitor and a server, so it's comparable to Varnish, but is employed mainly for database-driven Internet sites. Since the website will connect to its database a lot less, the overall web server load will be minimized significantly. The third accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online programs including chats and booking Internet sites as it processes information in real time the instant it is entered on the webpage by the users. Based on the plan you pick, these accelerators might be available or could be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you opt for one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you shall be able to use Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - 3 efficient web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose application that caches web pages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them instead of the server if the guest opens them again up to 300% quicker. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses so the server doesn't need to process each request, which makes it suitable for database-driven websites, for example ones built with Joomla™ or WordPress. Node.js is employed to produce web programs that operate in real-time including chats or accommodation booking sites and it processes every bit of data the moment the user types it rather than waiting for big pieces of information to be accumulated. The Hepsia CP that is included with our semi-dedicated plans will permit you to choose how many instances of every accelerator will work at a time and how much memory they will use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

If you choose your VPS server to be integrated with the Hepsia CP, you will be able to use Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three of the most popular web accelerators. Varnish caches pages the first time they are visited and delivers them every time the same person visits them again, which will speed up any sort of Internet site several times. Memcached is employed for dynamic script programs for instance Joomla™ and WordPress as it caches database requests and responses, therefore the database web server won't need to process the same website each time guests open it if the same content should be displayed. Node.js is a platform for building real-time applications for instance online games and chats. It functions faster than similar platforms because it processes the data in small bits all the time and does not wait for users to enter a substantial piece of data which shall require more time to be processed. The 3 web accelerators are offered with all Hepsia-based VPS solutions and come with several hundred MBs of dedicated memory.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

If you acquire a dedicated server from our firm and you select Hepsia as the hosting CP, you shall be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All packages come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the actual amount depends on the package deal that you select. Node.js is used for scalable online programs such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information instantly as the client enters it, which makes it much faster than very similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven website, not only will the site work faster, but also the load on the server will minimize since there will be less database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Rather, it caches entire websites once a visitor opens them and provides them instead of the web server each time the same visitor opens them later. Because Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any hosting server, the efficiency of an Internet site using this accelerator may increase as much as 300%.
