A web accelerator is a piece of software that speeds up a site typically by caching content and providing it instead of the web server. Such programs could be used for both dynamic and static Internet sites since there are a variety of accelerators that can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The advantage of using a web accelerator is that a given Internet site shall perform substantially faster without employing additional system resources. Just the opposite, this type of a site will require much less resources to operate as the web accelerator will take care of most requests instead of the web server. Unlike many companies which do not offer web accelerators with their solutions or offer just one, we offer 3 different ones that'll allow you to speed up your sites irrespective of their style or content.
Web Accelerators in Website Hosting
When you host your websites inside a website hosting account from us, you shall have 3 popular web accelerators to select from if you would like to improve the sites' performance. Memcached is employed for database-driven sites and it caches the calls and requests between a website and its database, so it can easily decrease the load of such Internet sites significantly. Varnish caches entire web pages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same visitor opens them again. It does that much more quickly than the hosting server, so it can boost the loading speed of any website as much as 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time applications which functions on the web server and not within the visitor's browser. It's employed for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other apps where plenty of data needs to be processed in real time. The availability of those accelerators depends on the hosting plan that you pick - 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 sites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account depending on the nature of the website content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, therefore it's an excellent option for any script app such as WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database hosting server won't need to process the exact same request if multiple users open a website with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a website visitor opens an Internet site. In case this webpage is opened again by the exact same guest, it shall be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the server. Employing this web accelerator will minimize the load created by your sites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js shall allow you to build scalable web apps like hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it does not wait for a client to submit a substantial piece of data, but processes whatever the customer is inputting 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 employ.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
We offer Memcached, Node.js and Varnish with all VPS servers which are purchased with the Hepsia Control Panel. Your server will also feature several hundred MBs of dedicated memory for these accelerators and the exact amount would be determined by the package that you pick. Memcached is employed for script-driven websites since it caches database responses, thus lowering the number of queries which a script sends to its database. It may be employed for any script including WordPress or Joomla™. Node.js is a powerful platform for creating web programs like booking sites and chats. The real-time interaction between end users and a web server is conducted by processing small bits of data as soon any user enters anything on the website. By comparison, other platforms wait for users to input a lot of information before they process it, as a result they function slower. Varnish is a multi-purpose accelerator that caches whole pages and delivers them instead of the hosting server at a considerably quicker rate. It's also often called an HTTP reverse proxy and it can speed up any type of website.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are offered by default with all our dedicated servers which are ordered with Hepsia as the hosting CP. These 3 web accelerators offer several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you could employ them to speed up any type of website. Memcached can substantially reduce the load on the server if you have script-driven websites as it caches database responses, so it lessens the number of database queries that the server has to deal with. Node.js shall enable you to develop scalable programs with real-time user-server interaction such as chats or dining booking Internet sites. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it processes information as soon as the end user enters it, so all the data is managed quicker and in small pieces. Varnish caches entire Internet pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them every time the same guest opens them again, that makes it a universal accelerator for any kind of websites. Because it operates quicker than any web server, it can easily speed up an Internet site at least several times and as a result, Varnish is one of the most popular web accelerators out there.
