A web accelerator is a server-side application which accelerates a site. Such a piece of software can function in different ways depending on the website content, but in the general case all such programs cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That is valid for both dynamic and static sites because the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the benefit of using a web accelerator is not just the faster loading Internet site, but also the lessened overall load on the web server. That way, you can use a lower-end hosting plan which will also cost less while your website visitors will be able to still enjoy high browsing speeds. Handful of service providers offer web accelerators with their hosting plans and they often offer just one, while we offer 3 different ones which will enable you to boost the performance of any type of website substantially.
Web Accelerators in Hosting
We provide 3 of the most popular web accelerators together with our hosting solutions and based on what plan you shall pick when you sign up, they may already be available or they could be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most well-known one of them and it may be employed for any type of Internet site. It caches the web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them at a faster speed compared to the server each and every time that a website visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it can boost the speed of dynamic Internet sites like online stores, discussion boards or social networks. Node.js is employed for scalable web programs and it works in real-time, which makes it excellent for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, etcetera. You shall be able to select how much memory these accelerators shall employ and how many instances of each shall run from your Hepsia website hosting CP.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you select one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, you shall be able to work with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three efficient web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose application which caches web pages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them instead of the server if the website visitor opens them again up to 300% more quickly. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses in order that the web server does not have to process each and every request, which makes it suitable for database-driven sites, for example ones built with Joomla™ or WordPress. Node.js is employed to build web apps that work in real-time such as chats or accommodation booking sites and it processes each bit of data as soon as the user types it instead of waiting for massive pieces of info to be accumulated. The Hepsia CP that is provided with our semi-dedicated solutions shall allow you to select how many instances of every accelerator shall work at a time and what amount of memory they'll use.
Web Accelerators in VPS
In case you get a virtual private server with the Hepsia CP, you will be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. All three accelerators are incorporated inside our plans by default and offer dedicated memory of several hundred megabytes. Node.js is used to build scalable apps where real-time interaction is necessary - booking Internet sites, online games, chats, etc. It processes the info in smaller pieces as the user is entering it, therefore it operates faster than other platforms that wait for the users to submit one large part of info. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that operates as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it if the same guest opens the same webpage again, which can speed any website several times due to the fact that Varnish operates faster than any web server. Memcached is used for caching API and database responses, consequently it is ideal for script-driven websites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can easily minimize the load on your web server because it'll decrease the amount of database queries that your sites make.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Hosting
In the event that you buy a dedicated server from us and you opt for Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to employ Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All plans feature several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the specific amount depends on the package that you select. Node.js is used for scalable online apps such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the info instantly as the client enters it, which makes it much quicker than similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven website, not only will the site speed up, but also the load on the web server will reduce since there will be a lesser amount of database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it is not limited to databases. Rather, it caches entire webpages once a visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the hosting server whenever the same visitor opens them later. As Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any hosting server, the efficiency of an Internet site using this accelerator can increase as much as 300%.
