A web accelerator is a piece of software which accelerates a site usually by caching content and providing it instead of the hosting server. Such applications can be used for both static and dynamic websites as there are various accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The advantage of employing a web accelerator is that a given site shall perform considerably faster without employing more system resources. Quite the opposite, such a website will need a lesser amount of resources to function as the web accelerator will deal with most requests instead of the server. Unlike many companies that do not offer web accelerators with their packages or offer only one, we offer three different ones that will allow you to speed up your websites irrespective of their kind or content.

Web Accelerators in Shared Web Hosting

In case you host your websites inside a shared web hosting account from our firm, you will have three popular web accelerators to choose from if you'd like to enhance the sites' functionality. Memcached is used for database-driven websites and it caches the calls and requests between an Internet site and its database, so it can easily reduce the load of such Internet sites tremendously. Varnish caches entire webpages the first time a website visitor opens them and delivers them from there on if the same website visitor opens them again. It does that much faster than the server, so it can easily increase the loading speed of any site approximately 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time applications that functions on the web server and not within the visitor's web browser. It is employed for accommodation booking, chats and other programs where a lot of data has to be processed in real time. The availability of the accelerators depends on the hosting solution that you choose - they could come by default or as an upgrade. In both cases, you shall be able to include more instances or more memory for each one 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 depending on the nature of the website content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, so it is a fantastic choice for any script app such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database web server won't have to process the same request if many users open a page with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it is a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any sort of content the first time a guest opens an Internet site. In case this page is opened again by the same visitor, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the hosting server. Using this web accelerator shall minimize the load generated by your websites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js will enable you to create scalable web programs such as hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it does not wait for a customer to submit a big piece of data, but processes whatever the user is inputting in real-time. The three web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia Control Panel and you'll be able to choose how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may use.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are offered with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and depending on the package deal you select, you will also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached can lessen the hosting server load by lowering the amount of queries which need to be dealt with since it caches database calls and responses. You will be able to use it on every Internet site that uses an API or a database - for example, any website designed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can easily improve the performance of any sort of site by caching whole webpages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator provides the pages if the same visitor opens them later on and since it does that considerably quicker than the hosting server, the website visitor shall be able to look through your site at least several times faster. This is why Varnish is often called an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an innovative platform that will allow you to build booking sites, web chats and other programs in which real-time server-user interaction is necessary. It processes the info in tiny pieces as the user fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one massive chunk of data, which makes Node.js way quicker than similar apps.
