A web accelerator is a server-side application which speeds up a website. Such a piece of software can work in different ways based on the site content, but in the general case all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That's valid for both static and dynamic Internet sites since the cached content could be simple text or database responses and the reward of using a web accelerator isn't only the faster loading site, but also the reduced overall load on the hosting server. This way, you'll be able to employ a lower-end hosting plan which will also cost less while your site visitors will be able to still enjoy high browsing speeds. Few firms supply web accelerators with their hosting plans and they often offer just 1, while we offer three different ones which will enable you to improve the performance of any kind of site noticeably.
Web Accelerators in Website Hosting
If you purchase one of our website hosting solutions, you shall have three widely used web accelerators at your disposal and you will be able to access them directly via the Hepsia CP that is included with our plans. Varnish is one of the most popular ones and it could tremendously speed up any site as it caches the pages a website visitor opens for the first time and delivers them every time that website visitor opens them again. Because Varnish works faster than any server, the loading speed of any website using the accelerator shall grow substantially. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between a website visitor and a server, so it's comparable to Varnish, but is employed predominantly for database-driven websites. Since the Internet site shall connect to its database much less, the overall hosting server load will be minimized substantially. The third accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online programs such as chats and booking Internet sites because it processes information in real time the moment it is entered on the site by the users. Depending on the plan you pick, these accelerators might be available or may be an optional upgrade.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server packages shall allow you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js - 3 of the most effective web accelerators available. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses, therefore it could easily increase the speed of any script-driven site. You may use it for any Internet site designed with WordPress or Joomla™, for instance. Varnish is also referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy and it's a general-purpose caching platform which could be used for any kind of sites. With regards to the content, it can improve the performance of a website as much as 300%. Node.js is an innovative system used to build scalable Internet applications which process information in real time for instance booking portals. Its advantage is that unlike similar platforms, it processes information continuously and in small pieces as opposed to waiting for the user to submit one big chunk of data. The accelerators may be enabled for any website via the Hepsia CP and you will be able to pick how many instances of each one of them shall work and how much memory they will employ.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
We offer Memcached, Node.js and Varnish with all VPS servers that are purchased with the Hepsia Control Panel. Your web server shall also include several hundred MBs of dedicated memory for these accelerators and the specific amount would depend on the package deal that you choose. Memcached is used for script-driven sites because it caches database responses, as a result decreasing the number of queries which a script sends to its database. It could be used for any script including WordPress or Joomla™. Node.js is an effective platform for developing web apps such as booking websites and chats. The real-time interaction between end users and a hosting server is carried out by processing little parts of data as soon any user enters anything on the site. In contrast, other platforms wait for users to input a considerable amount of data before they process it, as a result they operate slower. Varnish is a multi-purpose accelerator which caches entire pages and provides them instead of the server at a considerably quicker rate. It's also known as an HTTP reverse proxy and it can easily speed up any type of Internet site.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
In case you buy a dedicated server from our firm and you pick Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All solutions include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the exact amount depends on the plan that you choose. Node.js is employed for scalable online apps such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the data instantly as the client enters it, which makes it much quicker than very similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven website, not simply will the Internet site work faster, but also the load on the hosting server will decrease since there will be considerably less database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it's not limited to databases. Rather, it caches whole web pages once a guest opens them and provides them instead of the hosting server each and every time the same visitor opens them later. Because Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any hosting server, the efficiency of a website using this accelerator could increase up to 300%.
