A web accelerator is a server-side program which accelerates a site. Such a piece of software can work in different ways depending upon the site content, but in the general situation all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That is valid for both dynamic and static websites as the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the reward of using a web accelerator isn't only the faster loading Internet site, but also the reduced overall load on the hosting server. That way, you'll be able to use a lower-end hosting package that will also cost less while your site visitors can still enjoy fast browsing speeds. Few companies provide web accelerators with their hosting packages and they typically offer only one, while we offer 3 different ones that will permit you to enhance the performance of any type of site considerably.

Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting

When you acquire one of our shared hosting solutions, you'll have 3 popular web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly via the Hepsia CP which is included with our plans. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it could greatly increase the speed of any site as it caches the web pages that a website visitor opens for the first time and provides them each time that visitor opens them again. Since Varnish works way quicker than any web server, the loading speed of any website using the accelerator will increase noticeably. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between a visitor and a hosting server, so it's much like Varnish, but is employed mainly for database-driven websites. Considering that the site shall connect to its database significantly less, the overall server load will be reduced considerably. The third accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online programs such as chats and booking Internet sites since it processes information in real time as soon as it is entered on the site by the users. Based on the plan you choose, these accelerators could be available or might be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted within your semi-dedicated hosting account depending on the nature of the website content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, therefore it is an excellent option for any script app such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server will not have to process the very same request if many users open a website with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it is a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any sort of content the first time a website visitor opens a site. If that page is opened again by the very same guest, it shall be provided by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the hosting server. Employing this web accelerator can minimize the load created by your sites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js will allow you to create scalable web apps like hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it doesn't wait for a customer to submit a big piece of info, but processes whatever the client is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP and you'll be able to pick how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can employ.

Web Accelerators in VPS Hosting

If you obtain a virtual private server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your Internet sites. All three accelerators are integrated in our plans by default and feature dedicated memory of several hundred megabytes. Node.js is used to build scalable applications where real-time interaction is needed - booking sites, online flash games, chats, and so forth. It processes the data in small portions as the user is entering it, thus it operates more quickly than other platforms that wait for the users to enter one sizeable piece of info. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that works as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it in case the same website visitor opens the same page again, which can certainly speed any site several times since Varnish operates quicker than any web server. Memcached is used for caching API and database responses, therefore it is suitable for script-driven websites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator will be able to decrease the load on your hosting server since it shall reduced the number of database queries which your Internet sites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting

Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are offered by default with all of our dedicated servers which are ordered with Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel. These three web accelerators offer several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you could use them to speed up any kind of site. Memcached can drastically decrease the load on the hosting server if you have script-driven websites because it caches database responses, so it decreases the number of database queries which the web server has to tackle. Node.js shall allow you to build scalable programs with real-time user-server interaction such as chats or dining booking websites. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it processes data the instant the end user enters it, so all the information is managed swifter and in small pieces. Varnish caches whole webpages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them every time the same guest opens them again, that makes it a universal accelerator for any sort of Internet sites. As it works faster than any hosting server, it could speed up a site at least several times and as a result, Varnish is amongst the most widely used web accelerators available on the market.
