A web accelerator is a server-side application that speeds up an Internet site. Such a piece of software could work in different ways depending upon the site content, but in the typical case all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That is 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 isn't only the faster loading site, but also the decreased overall load on the server. That way, you'll be able to use a lower-end hosting solution which will also cost less while your website visitors can still enjoy fast browsing speeds. Handful of companies supply web accelerators with their hosting packages and they usually offer only one, while we offer 3 different ones that will enable you to improve the performance of any sort of Internet site significantly.

Web Accelerators in Website Hosting

Our website hosting packages feature 3 web accelerators that you will be able to employ depending on the websites that you would like to run. Memcached is used to cache database or API calls and responses, which could greatly boost the performance of dynamic sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches web pages and delivers them to the website visitors much faster than the hosting server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform employed for scalable real-time apps such as booking sites. With respect to the Internet hosting package you select, these three apps might already be included or may be optional upgrades. Regardless, you'll be able to pick how many instances of each one of them will be at your disposal and how much memory they ought to employ. These accelerators are offered only by a few Internet hosting providers, including ours, and they could increase the speed of your web apps drastically.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you go for one of our semi-dedicated server solutions, you will be able to take advantage of Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - 3 effective web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose app that caches webpages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the web server if the guest opens them again approximately 300% faster. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses so that the server doesn't need to process each and every request, which makes it ideal for database-driven Internet sites, such as ones developed with Joomla™ or WordPress. Node.js is employed to build web apps which operate in real-time including chats or accommodation booking sites and it processes each bit of data as soon as the user enters it instead of waiting for big portions of information to be accumulated. The Hepsia Control Panel which comes with our semi-dedicated plans shall allow you to select how many instances of every accelerator will work at a time and the amount of memory they will use.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

If you purchase a dedicated server from us and you select Hepsia as the hosting CP, you'll be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All plans feature several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the actual amount depends on the package you choose. Node.js is employed for scalable online applications such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information in real time as the client enters it, which makes it faster than similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven site, not simply will the Internet site speed up, but also the load on the server will minimize because there shall be less database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it's not limited to databases. Instead, it caches entire web pages once a website visitor opens them and provides them instead of the server every time the same visitor opens them later on. Due to the fact that Varnish processes web requests considerably faster than any server, the performance of an Internet site using this accelerator may increase around 300%.
