A web accelerator is a program which accelerates a website, normally by caching its content. There are many sorts of accelerators, but in the general case this kind of programs cache static content or database responses and provide them in lieu of the web server, hence improving the performance of a site considerably. The latter is achievable because accelerator apps work faster than a server and not simply will a website work better, but the server load will also decrease, which will permit you to run heavy websites with less system resources. We provide 3 web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will allow you to accelerate any sort of site. In comparison, most hosting businesses do not offer any web accelerators or offer only one, which limits your choice of web apps if you would like to use this kind of software.
Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages come with three web accelerators which you could use depending on the sites which you would like to run. Memcached is used to cache database or API calls and responses, which can drastically improve the efficiency of dynamic Internet sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator which caches webpages and provides them to the visitors faster than the hosting server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform used for scalable real-time programs for example booking websites. With respect to the web hosting package you choose, these three programs might already be included or could be optional upgrades. In any case, you'll be able to choose how many instances of every one of them shall be at your disposal and how much memory they should use. These accelerators are provided only by several hosting companies, including ours, and they can easily boost the speed of your web apps substantially.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you choose one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you'll be able to work with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - 3 powerful web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose app that caches websites the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them instead of the hosting server if the site visitor opens them again approximately 300% faster. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses in order that the server doesn't need to process each and every request, that makes it ideal for database-driven websites, such as ones built with Joomla™ or WordPress. Node.js is used to develop web apps which work in real-time including chats or accommodation booking sites and it processes each bit of information as soon as the user enters it as opposed to waiting for sizeable chunks of information to be accumulated. The Hepsia CP that comes with our semi-dedicated solutions will enable you to pick how many instances of every accelerator shall work at a time and what amount of memory they will use.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
All VPS servers which are integrated 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 is also often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches pages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them if that visitor opens them again, hence the server shall not need to perform any action. Since Varnish functions much quicker than any hosting server, a site using this accelerator will work several times faster. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it's employed for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven apps that store their content inside a database. Node.js is a highly effective platform for creating scalable web apps. Any data on an Internet site which uses Node.js is processed instantly, which makes it a great choice for dining and accommodation booking Internet sites, web-based chats, browser games, and so on.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are provided with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and depending on the package which you choose, you will also have several gbs of dedicated memory for them. Memcached shall reduce the server load by lowering the amount of queries which have to be addressed as it caches database calls and responses. You shall be able to use it on every site which uses an API or a database - as an illustration, any site developed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can easily boost the performance of any kind of website by caching whole webpages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator delivers the web pages if the same visitor opens them later and considering the fact that it does that way quicker than the web server, the website visitor will be able to browse your site at least a few times faster. That's why Varnish is oftentimes categorised as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an advanced platform that'll allow you to build booking sites, web chats and other applications in which real-time server-user interaction is necessary. It processes the information in little parts as the user fills different boxes and doesn't wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one substantial piece of data, which makes Node.js much faster than similar apps.
