A web accelerator is a server-side program which speeds up an Internet site. Such a piece of software can function in different ways depending upon the site content, but in the typical case all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That's valid for both static and dynamic sites because the cached content could be simple text or database responses and the reward of employing a web accelerator is not only the faster loading site, but also the smaller overall load on the server. That way, you may employ a lower-end hosting plan that'll also cost less while your visitors could still enjoy high browsing speeds. Handful of service providers provide web accelerators with their hosting deals and they frequently offer only 1, while we offer three different ones which will permit you to boost the performance of any kind of site considerably.
Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting plans include 3 web accelerators which you will be able to use depending on the sites that you would like to run. Memcached is used to cache database or API calls and responses, which can significantly boost the functionality of dynamic Internet sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches pages and provides them to the site visitors considerably quicker than the web server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform used for scalable real-time apps such as booking sites. Depending on the Internet hosting package you select, these three apps might already be included or may be optional upgrades. In either case, you'll be able to select how many instances of every one of them will be at your disposal and how much memory they ought to employ. These accelerators are supplied only by a handful of hosting companies, including ours, and they can raise the speed of your web programs substantially.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the sites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, therefore it is an excellent choice for any script app such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database hosting server shall not have to process the same request if many users open a site with the same content. Varnish is very similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any sort of content the first time a website visitor opens an Internet site. In case this web page is opened again by the very same website visitor, it shall be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the server. Employing this web accelerator can decrease the load created by your Internet sites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js will enable you to build scalable web apps like hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a customer to submit a substantial piece of info, but processes whatever the customer is typing in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP and you'll be able to select how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can use.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
In case you get a VPS server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. All three accelerators are included within our solutions by default and feature dedicated memory of several hundred MBs. Node.js is used to create scalable applications where real-time interaction is needed - booking Internet sites, online flash games, chats, etc. It processes the information in small pieces as the end user is entering it, therefore it functions much faster than other platforms which wait for the users to input one massive piece of info. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator which functions as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it in the event that the same site visitor opens the same page again, which can easily speed any Internet site several times as Varnish operates faster than any hosting server. Memcached is used for caching API and database responses, therefore it's appropriate for script-driven websites such as WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can easily lessen the load on your web server because it will reduce the number of database queries which your sites make.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Varnish and Node.js come with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and in accordance with the plan which you opt for, you will also have several gbs of dedicated memory for them. Memcached shall minimize the hosting server load by lowering the amount of queries that need to be taken care of as 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 site developed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can improve the performance of any type of Internet site by caching whole pages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator delivers the pages if the same visitor opens them later on and because it does that considerably quicker than the hosting server, the visitor will be able to look through your Internet site at least several times faster. That's why Varnish is sometimes categorised as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an innovative platform that'll allow you to create booking sites, web chats and other applications where real-time server-user interaction is necessary. It processes the information in small portions as the user fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one massive piece of information, which makes Node.js considerably quicker than similar applications.
