A web accelerator is an application which accelerates an Internet site, typically by caching its content. There are different kinds of accelerators, but in the common case this kind of programs cache static content or database responses and supply them instead of the web server, therefore enhancing the performance of a website greatly. The latter is possible because accelerator apps work faster than a hosting server and not simply will a site work better, but the server load will also minimize, which will allow you to run heavy Internet sites with less resources. We offer 3 web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will permit you to accelerate any type of site. In comparison, most Internet hosting providers do not offer any web accelerators or provide only 1, which limits your choice of web applications in the event that you would like to use this type of software.

Web Accelerators in Hosting

If you host your Internet sites in a hosting account from us, you shall have three popular web accelerators to select from if you would like to enhance the sites' functionality. Memcached is employed for database-driven Internet sites and it caches the calls and requests between a site and its database, so it could reduce the load of such websites drastically. Varnish caches entire webpages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same website visitor opens them again. It does that much faster than the hosting server, so it can raise the loading speed of any Internet site up to 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time apps which operates on the hosting server and not inside the visitor's web browser. It's employed for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other programs where loads of data has to be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends upon the hosting solution which you pick - they might come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you shall be able to add more instances or more memory for each of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia CP which is provided with our semi-dedicated server packages shall enable you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your Internet sites. Memcached is among the most famous accelerators since it can effortlessly increase the speed of any API or database-driven Internet site by caching requests and responses, therefore the web server won't have to process identical requests over and over again. The platform is suitable for websites developed with programs like Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is a powerful accelerator that caches any sort of content and is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches webpages which are opened by a website visitor for the first time and provides them each time that same visitor opens them again. Varnish can easily speed up an Internet site several times as it delivers content quicker than any server. Node.js is a platform used for scalable real-time apps like chats, browser games or social networks. It processes info in smaller bits as soon as a user enters something, therefore it functions faster than similar platforms where users submit massive chunks of info that need time to be processed. You'll be able to select the number of instances and the dedicated memory for every one of the 3 accelerators using your Control Panel.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

If you obtain a VPS server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your Internet sites. All 3 accelerators are included in our packages by default and offer dedicated memory of several hundred megabytes. Node.js is used to create scalable applications where real-time interaction is necessary - booking sites, online games, chats, etcetera. It processes the information in smaller pieces as the user is entering it, therefore it operates faster than other platforms which wait for the end users to input one sizeable bit of info. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that functions as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it if the same website visitor opens the same page again, which can easily speed any Internet site several times due to the fact that Varnish works a lot quicker than any server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, consequently it's appropriate for script-driven Internet sites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can easily reduce the load on your hosting server because it will reduced the amount of database queries your websites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are available with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and based on the plan you select, you'll also have several gbs of dedicated memory for them. Memcached shall reduce the server load by lowering the amount of queries which need to be taken care of since it caches database calls and responses. You will be able to use it on every website that uses an API or a database - as an illustration, any website created with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can improve the performance of any type of Internet site by caching whole webpages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator provides the webpages if the same visitor opens them later and given that it does that way quicker than the server, the website visitor shall be able to browse your website at least a few times faster. That's why Varnish is sometimes categorised as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an advanced platform that will allow you to create booking websites, web chats and other apps in which real-time server-user interaction is required. It processes the data in small parts as the user fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one sizeable chunk of data, which makes Node.js much faster than similar applications.
