A web accelerator is a server-side program that speeds up an Internet site. Such a piece of software may work in different ways based on the website content, but in the typical situation all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the web server. That is valid for both dynamic and static sites as the cached content could be simple text or database responses and the benefit of using a web accelerator isn't only the faster loading site, but also the reduced overall load on the hosting server. This way, you may employ a lower-end hosting plan that'll also cost less while your site visitors can still enjoy high browsing speeds. Several companies offer web accelerators with their hosting plans and they usually offer just one, while we offer three different ones that will permit you to enhance the performance of any kind of Internet site substantially.
Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting
We offer 3 of the most popular web accelerators together with our shared hosting solutions and depending on what plan you will pick when you sign up, they might already be available or they could be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most well-known one of them and it can be used for any kind of website. It caches the pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them at a considerably faster speed compared to the web server each and every time that a visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it could increase the speed of dynamic websites like online stores, community forums or social networks. Node.js is employed for scalable web applications and it works in real-time, which makes it suitable for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, and so forth. You will be able to select what amount of memory these accelerators will use and how many instances of each shall run from your Hepsia Internet hosting CP.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the sites hosted within your semi-dedicated hosting account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, so it is a superb option for any script app such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database web server shall not need to process exactly the same request if multiple users open a website with the same content. Varnish is very similar, but it is a general-purpose accelerator because it caches any sort of content the first time a guest opens a site. In case this page is opened again by the exact same website visitor, it'll be provided by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the web server. Employing this web accelerator shall lessen the load generated by your Internet sites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js will enable you to create scalable web programs such as hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it does not wait for a customer to submit a sizable piece of info, but processes whatever the client is inputting in real-time. The three web accelerators are available in the Hepsia Control Panel and you shall be able to pick how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may use.
Web Accelerators in VPS Hosting
In the event that you choose your virtual private server to be incorporated with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to use Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three of the most widely used web accelerators. Varnish caches pages the first time they are visited and provides them each and every time the same individual visits them again, which will speed up any sort of website several times. Memcached is employed for dynamic script applications for instance Joomla™ and WordPress since it caches database requests and responses, as a result the database server won't have to process the very same webpage every time guests open it in case the same content should be displayed. Node.js is a platform for developing real-time apps for example online games and chats. It works much quicker than similar platforms as it processes the data in tiny parts all the time and does not wait for users to enter a large piece of data that shall require more time to be processed. The three web accelerators are offered with all Hepsia-based VPS packages and feature several hundred MBs of dedicated memory.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting
Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are available with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and in accordance with the package deal that you choose, you will also have several gbs of dedicated memory for them. Memcached shall minimize the server load by lowering the amount of queries that have to be handled as it caches database calls and responses. You will be able to use it on every website which uses an API or a database - as an example, any website designed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can easily improve the performance of any kind of website by caching whole webpages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator provides the webpages if the exact same visitor opens them later and given that it does that faster than the server, the website visitor will be able to browse your site at least a couple of times faster. For this reason Varnish is often called an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an advanced platform which will allow you to build booking websites, web chats and other applications in which real-time server-user interaction is required. It processes the information in little pieces as the client fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one sizeable piece of info, which makes Node.js much faster than similar applications.
