A web accelerator is a server-side app which accelerates an Internet site. Such a piece of software could operate in different ways depending on the website content, but in the general case all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That's valid for both static and dynamic Internet sites as the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the advantage of employing a web accelerator is not only the faster loading website, but also the minimized overall load on the web server. This way, you could use a lower-end hosting solution which will also cost less while your website visitors will be able to still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Few service providers supply web accelerators with their hosting plans and they frequently offer only 1, while we offer three different ones that'll allow you to improve the performance of any kind of website tremendously.
Web Accelerators in Cloud Hosting
In case you host your sites inside a cloud hosting account from our company, you shall have 3 popular web accelerators to select from if you would like to improve the sites' functionality. Memcached is employed for database-driven sites and it caches the calls and requests between a website and its database, so it can decrease the load of such websites significantly. Varnish caches whole web pages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same site visitor opens them again. It does that much faster than the web server, so it can easily boost the loading speed of any site nearly 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time applications that operates on the web server and not inside the visitor's world-wide web browser. It's used for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other programs where lots of data needs to be processed in real time. The availability of those accelerators depends on the hosting plan which you pick - they could come by default or as an upgrade. In both cases, you'll be able to add more instances or more memory for each 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 based on the nature of the site content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, therefore it is a fantastic choice for any script program like WordPress or Joomla. This way, the database server will not need to process the very same request if a number of users open a page with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it is a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a guest opens a page. If this webpage is opened again by the exact same guest, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the server. Employing this web accelerator will decrease the load generated by your sites tremendously. Last, but not least, Node.js will enable you to create scalable web programs like hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it does not wait for a customer to submit a large piece of info, but processes whatever the user is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available in the Hepsia Control Panel and you'll be able to pick how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll employ.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
We provide Memcached, Node.js and Varnish with all VPS servers that are acquired with the Hepsia Control Panel. Your server will also come with several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for these accelerators and the actual amount would be determined by the package that you pick. Memcached is used for script-driven websites because it caches database responses, as a result decreasing the number of queries that a script sends to its database. It could be employed for any script like WordPress or Joomla. Node.js is an effective platform for building web apps such as booking sites and chats. The real-time interaction between end users and a server is carried out by processing smaller parts of info as soon any user enters anything on the site. In comparison, other platforms await users to enter loads of info before they process it, consequently they operate slower. Varnish is a multi-purpose accelerator that caches entire web pages and provides them instead of the hosting server at a much faster rate. It's also often called an HTTP reverse proxy and it can effortlessly speed up any type of Internet site.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are provided by default with all our dedicated servers that are ordered with Hepsia as the web hosting CP. These three web accelerators include several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you can employ them to speed up any type of Internet site. Memcached can significantly decrease the load on the hosting server if you have script-driven sites since it caches database responses, thus it decreases the number of database queries the hosting server has to handle. Node.js shall enable you to develop scalable apps with real-time user-server interaction including chats or dining booking sites. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it processes information the instant the user enters it, so all the data is managed swifter and in small bits. Varnish caches whole Internet pages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them each and every time the same visitor opens them again, that makes it a universal accelerator for any type of websites. Because it functions faster than any server, it can easily speed up a site at least several times and because of this, Varnish is among the most widely used web accelerators on the market.
