A web accelerator is a software application which accelerates a website generally by caching content and supplying it instead of the hosting server. Such programs could be employed for both dynamic and static websites since there are various accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The main advantage of using a web accelerator is that a given website will perform considerably faster without using more resources. Just the opposite, this kind of a site will require much less resources to function as the web accelerator will deal with most requests instead of the web server. Unlike many firms that do not offer web accelerators with their solutions or offer one, we offer 3 different ones that will allow you to speed up your websites whatever their style or content.
Web Accelerators in Website Hosting
In case you host your Internet sites in a website hosting account from us, you will have 3 popular web accelerators to pick from if you would like to boost the sites' performance. Memcached is employed for database-driven websites and it caches the calls and requests between a site and its database, so it could reduce the load of such sites drastically. Varnish caches whole web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them from there on if the same site visitor opens them again. It does that much faster than the hosting server, so it can easily boost the loading speed of any site approximately 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time programs which functions on the hosting server and not within the visitor's browser. It's used for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other applications where plenty of data needs to be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends upon the hosting plan that you pick - they could come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you'll be able to add more instances or more memory for every one of them.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the website content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, therefore it is a superb option for any script application such as WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database web server won't have to process the very same request if multiple users open a website with the same content. Varnish is very similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any kind of content the first time a visitor opens a page. If this page is opened again by the same guest, it'll be provided by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the web server. Employing this web accelerator shall lessen the load produced by your Internet sites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js shall allow you to build scalable web applications like hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it does not wait for a client to submit a sizable piece of information, but processes whatever the user is typing in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available in the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to pick how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can employ.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
We offer Memcached, Node.js and Varnish with all VPS servers which are acquired with the Hepsia CP. Your web server shall also feature several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for these accelerators and the particular amount would be determined by the package deal that you choose. Memcached is employed for script-driven Internet sites because it caches database responses, consequently reducing the number of queries that a script sends to its database. It can be used for any script such as WordPress or Joomla™. Node.js is a powerful platform for developing web apps such as booking websites and chats. The real-time interaction between end users and a server is done by processing smaller bits of info as soon any user enters anything on the website. By comparison, other platforms await customers to input loads of info before they process it, consequently they function slower. Varnish is a multi-purpose accelerator which caches entire webpages and delivers them instead of the server at a faster rate. It's also known as an HTTP reverse proxy and it can effortlessly speed up any kind of website.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
If you purchase a dedicated server from us and you select Hepsia as the hosting CP, you shall be able to employ Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your sites. All solutions feature several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the specific amount depends on the package deal you choose. Node.js is used for scalable online apps including browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information instantly as the user enters it, which makes it considerably faster than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven site, not simply will the Internet site work faster, but also the load on the hosting server will minimize because there shall be a lesser amount of database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it is not limited to databases. Instead, it caches whole webpages once a guest opens them and provides them instead of the server every time the same visitor opens them later on. Since Varnish processes web requests faster than any hosting server, the performance of an Internet site using this accelerator can increase as much as 300%.
