A web accelerator is a piece of software which speeds up an Internet site generally by caching content and providing it instead of the server. Such applications could be used for both static and dynamic websites as there are a variety of accelerators that can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The best thing about using a web accelerator is that a given website shall perform significantly faster without using extra resources. Quite the opposite, this type of a website will require a lesser amount of resources to operate as the web accelerator will handle most requests instead of the web server. Contrary to many companies that don't offer web accelerators with their plans or offer one, we offer 3 different ones that'll permit you to speed up your websites whatever their type or content.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Hosting

If you acquire one of our cloud hosting packages, you shall have 3 popular web accelerators at your disposal and you will be able to access them directly through the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with our solutions. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it could tremendously increase the speed of any Internet site since it caches the pages that a website visitor opens for the first time and provides them each time that website visitor opens them again. Because Varnish operates considerably faster than any hosting server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator will grow significantly. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between a site visitor and a web server, so it's similar to Varnish, but is employed predominantly for database-driven websites. Because the website shall connect to its database much less, the overall server load shall be minimized significantly. The 3rd accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online applications like chats and booking Internet sites because it processes data in real time the moment it is entered on the webpage by the users. Depending on the package you pick, these accelerators might be available or might be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you go for one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you will be able to take advantage of Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three effective web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose program which caches web pages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them instead of the server if the guest opens them again up to 300% quicker. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses so that the hosting server doesn't need to process every request, which makes it perfect for database-driven Internet sites, for instance ones built with Joomla™ or WordPress. Node.js is used to build web applications which operate in real-time like chats or accommodation booking sites and it processes every bit of data the moment the user types it instead of waiting for sizeable chunks of data to be accumulated. The Hepsia CP which is provided with our semi-dedicated plans shall enable you to pick how many instances of every accelerator will work at a time and just how much memory they will use.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are offered by default with all of our dedicated servers that are ordered with Hepsia as the Internet hosting Control Panel. These 3 web accelerators feature several gbs of dedicated memory and you could employ them to speed up any sort of Internet site. Memcached can drastically minimize the load on the hosting server if you have script-driven websites since it caches database responses, therefore it decreases the amount of database queries which the web server has to handle. Node.js will enable you to create scalable applications with real-time user-server interaction such as chats or dining booking sites. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it processes data the instant the user enters it, so all the data is taken care of faster and in small parts. Varnish caches whole pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them every time the same website visitor opens them again, which makes it a universal accelerator for any kind of sites. Since it operates quicker than any server, it could speed up a site at least several times and because of this, Varnish is among the most popular web accelerators out there.
