A web accelerator is a software program which speeds up a website usually by caching content and providing it instead of the server. Such apps could be employed for both dynamic and static sites because there are different accelerators that can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The benefit of using a web accelerator is that a given site will perform substantially faster without employing extra resources. Quite the opposite, this type of a site will need a lesser amount of resources to work because the web accelerator will take care of most requests rather than the server. Contrary to many companies which do not offer web accelerators with their plans or offer one, we offer 3 different ones that will allow you to speed up your sites whatever their style or content.
Web Accelerators in Cloud Hosting
In case you get one of our cloud hosting solutions, you shall have three widely used web accelerators at your disposal and you will be able to access them directly via the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with our solutions. Varnish is one of the most popular ones and it could considerably accelerate any website since it caches the pages that a visitor opens for the first time and provides them each and every time that visitor opens them again. Because Varnish works considerably faster than any web server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator will improve considerably. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between a visitor and a server, so it's much like Varnish, but is used predominantly for database-driven websites. Because the Internet site will connect to its database way less, the overall server load shall be reduced considerably. The third accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online programs like chats and booking sites as it processes information in real time the instant it is entered on the site by the users. Depending on the plan you select, these accelerators might be available or could be an optional upgrade.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you select one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you'll be able to work with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three efficient web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose app which caches web pages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them instead of the server if the visitor opens them again up to 300% more quickly. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses in order that the hosting server does not have to process each request, which makes it ideal for database-driven sites, for example ones developed with Joomla™ or WordPress. Node.js is used to develop web programs that function in real-time like chats or accommodation booking sites and it processes every bit of data as soon as the user enters it instead of waiting for big chunks of information to be accumulated. The Hepsia CP which comes with our semi-dedicated packages shall allow you to select how many instances of each accelerator shall work at a time and the amount of memory they'll use.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
In case you obtain a VPS server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All 3 accelerators are incorporated inside our plans by default and come with dedicated memory of a few hundred MBs. Node.js is used to develop scalable apps where real-time interaction is needed - booking Internet sites, online flash games, chats, etc. It processes the info in smaller pieces as the end user is entering it, therefore it operates faster than other platforms that wait for the users to submit one big part of data. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator which operates as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it in the event that the same site visitor opens the same page again, which can certainly speed any Internet site several times due to the fact that Varnish functions a lot quicker than any hosting server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, so it's appropriate for script-driven websites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can decrease the load on your hosting server as it'll reduced the number of database queries which your websites make.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
In the event that you choose Hepsia as the hosting CP for your new dedicated server, you shall have Memcached, Varnish and Node.js readily available for accelerating your sites. Memcached will be able to minimize the load on the web server by lowering the queries your script-driven Internet sites make because it caches database responses. This web accelerator is perfect for dynamic sites designed with WordPress, Joomla™ and very similar scripts. Varnish, which is known as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches whole websites the first time a new visitor opens them. It may be employed to speed up any sort of Internet site because it delivers the cached content considerably faster than the server any time a customer opens the same site again. You could employ Node.js for online apps that require real-time server-client interaction such as online chats or booking sites. In contrast to other platforms which await the user to enter everything on a form, Node.js processes the data bit by bit as the user fills each box, so it works faster and more efficiently. All dedicated server plans include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those 3 web accelerators.
