A web accelerator is a program which accelerates an Internet site, typically by caching its content. There are various kinds of accelerators, but in the typical case this sort of programs cache static content or database responses and provide them in place of the web server, as a consequence improving the performance of a website considerably. The latter is possible because accelerator apps work faster than a hosting server and not only will a website function better, but the server load will also lessen, which will permit you to run heavy Internet sites with less system resources. We provide 3 web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will enable you to accelerate any type of site. In comparison, most hosting service providers do not offer any web accelerators or provide only one, which limits your choice of web apps in case you would like to use this kind of software.
Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting
We offer three of the most popular web accelerators along with our shared hosting packages and based upon what plan you will select when you sign up, they might already be available or they may be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most widely used one of them and it could be used for any type of website. It caches the web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them at a considerably faster speed compared to the server each and every time that a visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it can increase the speed of dynamic sites such as online stores, discussion boards or social networks. Node.js is employed for scalable web applications and it functions in real-time, which makes it excellent for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, and many others. You will be able to choose the amount of memory these accelerators will employ and how many instances of each one shall run from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account based on the nature of the website content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, so it is an excellent option for any script application like WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server won't need to process the very same request if a number of users open a site with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator because it caches any kind of content the first time a visitor opens a page. If this page is opened again by the very same visitor, it shall be delivered by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the hosting server. Employing this web accelerator can decrease the load generated by your Internet sites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js shall enable you to create scalable web apps such as hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a user to submit a large piece of information, but processes whatever the client is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available in the Hepsia CP and you'll be able to pick how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll use.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
If you choose your VPS server to be incorporated with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to use Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - 3 of the most popular web accelerators. Varnish caches websites the first time they are visited and provides them whenever the same individual visits them again, which will boost any kind of website several times. Memcached is used for dynamic script apps for example Joomla™ and WordPress as it caches database requests and responses, as a result the database web server won't have to process the very same webpage each and every time visitors open it in case the same content should be shown. Node.js is a platform for developing real-time programs such as online games and chats. It works faster than similar platforms as it processes the data in tiny pieces all the time and does not wait for users to input a sizable piece of data that will need more time to be processed. The three web accelerators are offered with all Hepsia-based VPS solutions and include several hundred MBs of dedicated memory.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
If you buy a dedicated server from us and you choose Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you will be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your Internet sites. All packages feature several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the specific amount depends on the package that you choose. Node.js is employed for scalable online applications including browser games or hotel booking and it processes the data immediately as the client enters it, which makes it much faster than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven Internet site, not only will the website speed up, but also the load on the server will decline as there will be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Instead, it caches whole websites once a guest opens them and delivers them instead of the web server whenever the same visitor opens them afterwards. As Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any hosting server, the efficiency of a site using this accelerator may increase up to 300%.
