A web accelerator is a software application which accelerates a website generally by caching content and supplying it instead of the server. Such apps can be used for both dynamic and static Internet sites as there are different accelerators that can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The best thing about employing a web accelerator is that a given site shall perform noticeably faster without using extra system resources. Quite the opposite, this kind of a website will require much less resources to function as the web accelerator will tackle most requests instead of the hosting server. Contrary to many companies which do not offer web accelerators with their solutions or offer just one, we offer 3 different ones that'll enable you to speed up your Internet sites irrespective of their type or content.
Web Accelerators in Web Hosting
In case you host your Internet sites inside a web hosting account from us, you will have 3 popular web accelerators to pick from if you would like to boost the sites' efficiency. Memcached is employed for database-driven websites and it caches the calls and requests between a site and its database, so it could decrease the load of such websites tremendously. Varnish caches entire web pages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same visitor opens them again. It does that faster than the web server, so it can easily increase the loading speed of any website up to 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time applications which operates on the web server and not within the visitor's world-wide web browser. It is used for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other programs where a lot of data has to be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends upon the hosting package which you select - they might come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you will be able to include more instances or more memory for each one of them.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted inside your semi-dedicated hosting account in accordance with the nature of the website content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, so it is a great choice for any script app like WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server shall not need to process the exact same request if many users open a page with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it is a general-purpose accelerator because it caches any sort of content the first time a visitor opens a page. If that webpage is opened again by the very same website visitor, it shall be provided by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the web server. Using this web accelerator can reduce the load generated by your sites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js will permit you to build scalable web programs such as hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it does not wait for a customer to submit a sizable piece of information, but processes whatever the user is typing in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP 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 can use.
Web Accelerators in VPS Hosting
If you get a virtual private server with the Hepsia CP, you will be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All three accelerators are integrated within our solutions by default and come with dedicated memory of a few hundred MBs. Node.js is employed to develop scalable applications where real-time interaction is necessary - booking sites, online games, chats, and so forth. It processes the information in smaller pieces as the end user is entering it, therefore it works much faster than other platforms that wait for the users to enter one sizeable bit of info. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that works as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it when the same visitor opens the same website again, which can certainly speed any site several times due to the fact that Varnish works quicker than any server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, therefore it's suitable for script-driven websites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can easily minimize the load on your web server since it shall decrease the number of database queries that your Internet sites make.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you order a dedicated server from us and you select Hepsia as the hosting CP, you shall be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your sites. All plans come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the actual amount depends on the package that you select. Node.js is employed for scalable online apps including browser games or hotel booking and it processes the data right away as the client enters it, which makes it much faster than very similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven website, not simply will the website work faster, but also the load on the web server will minimize since there shall be a lesser amount of database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Instead, it caches whole web pages once a website visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the hosting server each time the same visitor opens them afterwards. Because Varnish processes web requests faster than any hosting server, the efficiency of a site using this accelerator may increase nearly 300%.
