A web accelerator is a server-side application that accelerates a site. Such a piece of software may function in different ways depending on the site content, but in the general case all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the server. That's valid for both static and dynamic Internet sites as the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the benefit of employing a web accelerator is not just the faster loading site, but also the smaller overall load on the web server. This way, you can employ a lower-end hosting package that will also cost less while your website visitors could still enjoy high browsing speeds. Several companies supply web accelerators with their hosting packages and they often offer just 1, while we offer 3 different ones that will allow you to enhance the performance of any kind of site considerably.

Web Accelerators in Shared Web Hosting

In case you acquire one of our shared web hosting solutions, you shall have 3 widely used web accelerators at your disposal and you'll be able to access them directly via the Hepsia CP that comes with our packages. Varnish is one of the most well-known ones and it could tremendously speed up any website as it caches the pages a site visitor opens for the first time and provides them each time that guest opens them again. Given that Varnish functions considerably faster than any web server, the loading speed of any website using the accelerator will improve considerably. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between a website visitor and a server, so it's much like Varnish, but is employed mainly for database-driven Internet sites. Because the site shall connect to its database a lot less, the overall server load will be decreased notably. The 3rd accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online programs such as chats and booking sites since it processes info in real time as soon as it is entered on the website by the users. Based on the package you choose, these accelerators may be available or could be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you go for one of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions, you shall be able to use Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three efficient web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose app which caches websites the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them instead of the server if the website visitor opens them again up to 300% quicker. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses in order that the web server doesn't need to process every request, which makes it perfect for database-driven sites, for example ones developed with Joomla™ or WordPress. Node.js is used to build web apps that work in real-time such as chats or accommodation booking websites and it processes each bit of data as soon as the user types it as opposed to waiting for big portions of info to be accumulated. The Hepsia Control Panel which comes with our semi-dedicated packages will allow you to pick how many instances of each and every accelerator shall work at a time and just how much memory they'll use.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you select Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel for your new dedicated server, you shall have Memcached, Varnish and Node.js readily available for accelerating your Internet sites. Memcached will be able to decrease the load on the hosting server by lowering the queries your script-driven sites make because it caches database responses. This web accelerator is great for dynamic sites created with WordPress, Joomla™ and very similar scripts. Varnish, which is known as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches whole pages the first time a new visitor opens them. It can be used to accelerate any kind of site as it delivers the cached content faster than the web server each time a website visitor opens the same site again. You'll be able to use Node.js for online applications that require real-time server-client interaction such as online chats or booking Internet sites. Different from other platforms which await the user to fill everything on a form, Node.js processes the info piece by piece as the user fills each and every box, so it operates much faster and more effectively. All dedicated server plans come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those three web accelerators.
