A web accelerator is a software application which accelerates an Internet site usually by caching content and supplying it instead of the server. Such programs can be used for both dynamic and static sites because there are a variety of accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The best thing about using a web accelerator is that a given website will perform considerably faster without employing additional system resources. On the contrary, this kind of a website will demand significantly less resources to operate since the web accelerator will deal with most requests instead of the web server. Contrary to many businesses which do not offer web accelerators with their plans or offer one, we offer three different ones which will enable you to speed up your websites whatever their type or content.
Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting
If you host your Internet sites inside a shared hosting account from our company, you shall have three popular web accelerators to pick from if you would like to enhance the sites' performance. Memcached is used for database-driven websites and it caches the calls and requests between a site and its database, so it can easily minimize the load of such websites drastically. Varnish caches entire web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them from there on if the same website visitor opens them again. It does that faster than the hosting server, so it can raise the loading speed of any site as much as 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time apps which works on the server and not in the visitor's world-wide web browser. It's employed for accommodation booking, chats and other apps where a lot of data should be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends upon the hosting solution which you select - they could come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you will be able to include more instances or more memory for each of them.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the website content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, so it is an excellent choice for any script application like WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database web server won't have to process the exact same request if many users open a website with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it's a general-purpose accelerator because it caches any type of content the first time a guest opens an Internet site. In case that web page is opened again by the very same website visitor, it shall be delivered by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the hosting server. Employing this web accelerator can minimize the load produced by your websites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js will enable you to produce scalable web applications like hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it does not wait for a customer to submit a sizable piece of info, but processes whatever the client is typing in real-time. The three web accelerators are available in the Hepsia Control Panel and you'll be able to choose how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may employ.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
If you get a dedicated server from our company and you opt for Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you will be able to employ Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your sites. All plans include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the actual amount depends on the package that you select. Node.js is used for scalable online apps like browser games or hotel booking and it processes the info immediately as the client enters it, which makes it much quicker than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven site, not only will the Internet site speed up, but also the load on the web server will decline as there will be considerably less database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Rather, it caches entire websites once a website visitor opens them and provides them instead of the server each and every time the same visitor opens them later. Due to the fact that Varnish processes web requests considerably faster than any server, the performance of a website using this accelerator may increase around 300%.
