A web accelerator is a piece of software which speeds up an Internet site generally by caching content and delivering it instead of the hosting server. Such programs may be used for both static and dynamic sites since there are a variety of accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The benefit of employing a web accelerator is that a given site will perform significantly faster without employing extra system resources. Quite the opposite, such a website will require a lesser amount of resources to function since the web accelerator will take care of most requests rather than the hosting server. Contrary to many companies that don't offer web accelerators with their solutions or offer only 1, we offer 3 different ones that will allow you to speed up your Internet sites regardless of their style or content.

Web Accelerators in Web Hosting

If you host your sites inside a web hosting account from us, you will have 3 popular web accelerators to pick from if you would like to improve the sites' performance. Memcached is used for database-driven sites and it caches the calls and requests between a website and its database, so it can decrease the load of such Internet sites drastically. Varnish caches whole pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them from there on if the same visitor opens them again. It does that much more quickly than the web server, so it can raise the loading speed of any website approximately 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time apps which works on the hosting server and not in the visitor's world-wide web browser. It's used for holiday 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 package which you pick - they could come by default or as an upgrade. In both cases, you shall be able to add more instances or more memory for each one of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the sites hosted inside your semi-dedicated hosting account in accordance with the nature of the website content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, therefore it's a great choice for any script program like WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database web server shall not need to process the very same request if a number of users open a site with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it is a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any type of content the first time a guest opens a site. If this web page is opened again by the same website visitor, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the server. Using this web accelerator shall minimize the load generated by your sites tremendously. Last, but not least, Node.js shall enable you to build scalable web apps such as hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it does not wait for a user to submit a large piece of info, but processes whatever the client is entering in real-time. The 3 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 may use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Hosting

In case you get a virtual private server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All 3 accelerators are integrated in our plans by default and offer dedicated memory of a few hundred megabytes. Node.js is used to develop scalable apps where real-time interaction is required - booking Internet sites, online games, chats, and so forth. It processes the data in small bits as the user is entering it, therefore it works quicker than other platforms which wait for the end users to enter one large bit of information. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator which functions as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it if the same guest opens the same website again, which can certainly speed any Internet site several times since Varnish operates a lot quicker than any hosting server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, consequently it's appropriate for script-driven Internet sites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can easily decrease the load on your web server since it will reduce the amount of database queries your websites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting

In case you purchase 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 Internet sites. All packages include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the specific amount depends on the package that you choose. Node.js is used for scalable online apps like browser games or hotel booking and it processes the info right away as the user 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 site, not simply will the website work faster, but also the load on the hosting server will decline as there will be considerably less database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Rather, it caches whole webpages once a visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the web server every time the same visitor opens them later. As Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any server, the overall performance of a site using this accelerator may increase around 300%.
