A web accelerator is a piece of software which accelerates an Internet site generally by caching content and delivering it instead of the web server. Such applications can be employed for both static and dynamic Internet sites as there are a variety of accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The advantage of employing a web accelerator is that a given website shall perform considerably faster without employing more system resources. On the contrary, this kind of a site will demand much less resources to operate as the web accelerator will tackle most requests rather than the web server. Unlike many companies that do not offer web accelerators with their packages or offer only 1, we offer three different ones which will enable you to speed up your Internet sites whatever their type or content.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Web Hosting

If you host your websites within a cloud web hosting account from our firm, you will have three popular web accelerators to pick from if you would like to improve the sites' performance. Memcached is used for database-driven websites and it caches the calls and requests between a site and its database, so it can decrease the load of such sites substantially. Varnish caches entire webpages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them from there on if the same visitor opens them again. It does that considerably faster than the hosting server, so it could boost the loading speed of any website as much as 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time apps which functions on the web server and not inside the visitor's Internet browser. It is used for accommodation booking, chats and other programs where lots of data has to be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends upon the hosting solution which you select - they could come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you will be able to add more instances or more memory for each of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the Internet sites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, therefore it's an excellent choice for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database server shall not need to process the very same request if a number of users open a page with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it is a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any kind of content the first time a visitor opens a page. In case this web page is opened again by the exact same website visitor, it'll be provided by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the server. Employing this web accelerator will reduce the load generated by your websites tremendously. Last, but not least, Node.js shall allow you to create scalable web applications like hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it doesn't wait for a customer to submit a substantial piece of info, but processes whatever the user is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia Control Panel and you shall be able to select how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can use.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are available with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and depending on the package which you choose, you shall also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached can lessen the hosting server load by lowering the amount of queries which have to be taken care of because it caches database calls and responses. You'll be able to use it on any website that uses an API or a database - as an illustration, any website designed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can enhance the performance of any kind of site by caching whole pages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator provides the pages if the exact same visitor opens them afterwards and considering the fact that it does that way quicker than the server, the visitor will be able to look through your website at least a couple of times faster. That's why Varnish is oftentimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is a sophisticated platform that will permit you to develop booking sites, web chats and other programs in which real-time server-user interaction is necessary. It processes the data in little portions as the client fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one big piece of info, which makes Node.js considerably faster than similar applications.
