A web accelerator is a piece of software that accelerates an Internet site usually by caching content and providing it instead of the hosting server. Such apps may be used for both static and dynamic sites because there are a variety of accelerators that can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The best thing about using a web accelerator is that a given site shall perform noticeably faster without using additional system resources. Quite the opposite, this type of a site will demand significantly less resources to function since the web accelerator will tackle most requests instead of the web server. In contrast to many companies which don't offer web accelerators with their solutions or offer just one, we offer three different ones which will allow you to speed up your sites whatever their type or content.

Web Accelerators in Shared Web Hosting

If you host your sites in a shared web hosting account from our firm, you will have 3 popular web accelerators to choose 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 site and its database, so it can reduce the load of such sites tremendously. Varnish caches whole webpages the first time a website visitor opens them and delivers them from there on if the same visitor opens them again. It does that much faster than the server, so it can boost the loading speed of any site nearly 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time applications that functions on the web server and not within the visitor's world-wide web browser. It's employed for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other applications where plenty of data needs to be processed in real time. The availability of those accelerators depends on the hosting solution that you choose - they may come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you shall be able to add more instances or more memory for each one of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia CP which comes with our semi-dedicated server plans will allow you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. Memcached is one of the most popular accelerators because it can easily increase the speed of any API or database-driven Internet site by caching requests and responses, therefore the server won't have to process identical requests again and again. The platform is ideal for Internet sites developed with programs such as Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is an efficient accelerator that caches any sort of content and is also often called an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches webpages which are opened by a website visitor for the first time and provides them every time that very same website visitor opens them again. Varnish can certainly speed up an Internet site several times simply because it delivers content faster than any server. Node.js is a platform used for scalable real-time applications like chats, browser games or social networks. It processes data in smaller parts the instant a user types something, as a result it functions much more quickly than similar platforms in which users submit sizeable pieces of data which require time to be processed. You can choose the number of instances and the dedicated memory for every one of the three accelerators through your CP.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

All VPS servers that are set up with the Hepsia CP come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you shall receive several hundred MBs of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that's also referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches web pages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them when that guest opens them again, so the hosting server will not have to perform any action. As Varnish operates much faster than any web server, a site using this accelerator will work several times swifter. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it is employed for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven programs which store their content within a database. Node.js is an efficient platform for developing scalable web applications. Any data on a site that employs Node.js is processed right away, making it an excellent choice for dining and accommodation booking sites, web-based chats, browser games, etc.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are offered with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and depending on the plan which you pick, you shall also have several gbs of dedicated memory for them. Memcached can reduce the server load by lowering the amount of queries which need to be handled since it caches database calls and responses. You will be able to use it on every website that uses an API or a database - as an example, any website developed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can easily boost the performance of any sort of website by caching whole pages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator delivers the pages if the very same visitor opens them later on and since it does that considerably quicker than the hosting server, the visitor shall be able to look through your Internet site at least a few times faster. That is why Varnish is occasionally referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an advanced platform which will allow you to create booking sites, web chats and other programs in which real-time server-user interaction is necessary. It processes the info in tiny bits as the user fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one substantial chunk of information, which makes Node.js considerably quicker than similar applications.
