A web accelerator is a software that accelerates an Internet site, normally by caching its content. There are various types of accelerators, but in the common case such programs cache static content or database responses and supply them in place of the server, therefore boosting the performance of an Internet site drastically. The latter can be done because accelerator programs work faster than a server and not simply will a site work better, but the server load shall also minimize, which will allow you to run heavy Internet sites with less system resources. We offer three web accelerators with our hosting solutions, which will enable you to accelerate any type of site. In comparison, most hosting service providers do not provide any web accelerators or offer one, which limits your choice of web applications in case you want to use such software.
Web Accelerators in Hosting
Our hosting solutions include 3 web accelerators that you could use depending on the websites that you would like to run. Memcached is employed to cache database or API calls and responses, which can drastically enhance the functionality of dynamic sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches web pages and delivers them to the visitors way quicker than the hosting server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform used for scalable real-time programs such as booking sites. Depending on the Internet hosting plan you choose, these three applications might already be included or may be optional upgrades. In either case, you will be able to choose how many instances of every one of them shall be at your disposal and what amount of memory they should use. These accelerators are supplied only by a handful of web hosting providers, including ours, and they can increase the speed of your web apps significantly.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted within your semi-dedicated hosting account depending on the nature of the website content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, therefore it's a superb choice for any script application like WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server shall not have to process the same request if multiple users open a webpage with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any kind of content the first time a visitor opens a page. In case that webpage is opened again by the same website visitor, it shall be delivered by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the server. Using this web accelerator can reduce the load created by your websites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js will enable you to create scalable web programs such as hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a client to submit a big piece of data, but processes whatever the customer is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to select how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll use.
Web Accelerators in VPS Hosting
We offer Memcached, Node.js and Varnish with all virtual private servers that are ordered with the Hepsia CP. Your web server shall also include a few hundred MBs of dedicated memory for these accelerators and the particular amount would depend on the package that you select. Memcached is used for script-driven Internet sites because it caches database responses, thus decreasing the amount of queries a script sends to its database. It may be used for any script like WordPress or Joomla™. Node.js is a powerful platform for creating web apps for example booking websites and chats. The real-time interaction between end users and a server is conducted by processing little bits of data as soon any user inputs anything on the webpage. In contrast, other platforms await users to enter a lot of data before they process it, as a result they operate more slowly. Varnish is a multi-purpose accelerator that caches entire pages and delivers them instead of the web server at a considerably faster rate. It's also known as an HTTP reverse proxy and it can speed up any sort of site.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting
Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are offered with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and based on the plan which you choose, you will also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached will minimize the hosting server load by lowering the number of queries which have to be handled because it caches database calls and responses. You shall be able to use it on every website that uses an API or a database - for example, any site developed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish could boost the performance of any type of site by caching whole pages the first time a guest opens them. The accelerator delivers the webpages if the same visitor opens them later on and given that it does that way quicker than the server, the visitor will be able to surf your website at least a few times faster. For this reason Varnish is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an advanced platform which will allow you to develop booking sites, web chats and other programs in which real-time server-user interaction is necessary. It processes the data in tiny bits as the user fills different boxes and doesn't wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one substantial piece of data, which makes Node.js considerably quicker than similar applications.
