A web accelerator is a piece of software which accelerates a site generally by caching content and delivering it instead of the server. Such applications may be used for both static and dynamic Internet sites since there are a variety of accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The main advantage of using a web accelerator is that a given site shall perform substantially faster without employing more resources. Just the opposite, such a site will need a lesser amount of resources to operate since the web accelerator will deal with most requests instead of the hosting server. Contrary to many businesses which do not offer web accelerators with their solutions or offer just one, we offer three different ones that will permit you to speed up your websites regardless of their type or content.
Web Accelerators in Hosting
Our hosting solutions include 3 web accelerators which you will be able to use depending on the Internet sites that you would like to run. Memcached is used to cache database or API calls and responses, which can significantly improve the functionality of dynamic Internet sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches web pages and provides them to the visitors much quicker than the server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform employed for scalable real-time applications including booking sites. Depending on the web hosting solution you select, these three applications might already be included or may be optional upgrades. In any case, you shall be able to choose how many instances of every one of them shall be at your disposal and how much memory they ought to use. These accelerators are offered only by a few web hosting service providers, including ours, and they could boost the speed of your web applications drastically.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the Internet sites hosted in your semi-dedicated server account based on the nature of the website content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, therefore it's a fantastic option for any script application such as WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database hosting server will not have to process the same request if many users open a website with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it is a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any sort of content the first time a guest opens an Internet site. In case this webpage is opened again by the very same visitor, it will be delivered by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the server. Employing this web accelerator shall minimize the load produced by your Internet sites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js will permit you to produce scalable web programs such as hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a customer to submit a large piece of data, but processes whatever the user is typing in real-time. The three web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia Control Panel and you'll be able to pick how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can employ.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
In case you get a VPS server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your Internet sites. All 3 accelerators are included inside our plans by default and offer dedicated memory of a few hundred MBs. Node.js is employed to build scalable apps where real-time interaction is required - booking websites, online flash games, chats, and so forth. It processes the data in small bits as the end user is entering it, as a result it works quicker than other platforms which wait for the users to input one massive piece of information. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that operates as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it if the same guest opens the same page again, which can speed any Internet site several times as Varnish works quicker than any web server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, consequently it's suitable for script-driven websites such as WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can easily lessen the load on your web server as it'll lower the amount of database queries which your Internet sites make.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
In the event that you order a dedicated server from our company and you choose Hepsia as the hosting CP, you shall be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your sites. All solutions come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the specific amount depends on the package deal that you select. Node.js is used for scalable online apps including browser games or hotel booking and it processes the info in real time as the user enters it, which makes it much quicker than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven site, not only will the Internet site speed up, but also the load on the web server will decrease since there shall be a lesser amount of database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it is not limited to databases. Instead, it caches whole webpages once a visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the server each and every time the same visitor opens them afterwards. Since Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any web server, the overall performance of a site using this accelerator can increase around 300%.
