A web accelerator is a software application that speeds up a site generally by caching content and providing it instead of the web server. Such programs could be employed for both dynamic and static sites as there are various accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The benefit of using a web accelerator is that a given website shall perform considerably faster without employing more resources. On the contrary, this type of a website will demand significantly less resources to function since the web accelerator will handle most requests instead of the server. In contrast to many businesses which don't offer web accelerators with their plans or offer only 1, we offer three different ones that will permit you to speed up your sites irrespective of their style or content.
Web Accelerators in Web Hosting
If you host your sites inside a web hosting account from our company, you will have three popular web accelerators to pick from if you'd like to improve the sites' performance. Memcached is employed for database-driven websites and it caches the calls and requests between an Internet site and its database, so it can decrease the load of such websites drastically. Varnish caches entire webpages the first time a website visitor opens them and delivers them from there on if the same guest opens them again. It does that faster than the hosting server, so it could boost the loading speed of any Internet site up to 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time applications which works on the server and not inside the visitor's browser. It's employed for accommodation booking, chats and other programs where plenty of data has to be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends upon the hosting plan which you select - they may come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you'll be able to include more instances or more memory for each of them.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted in your semi-dedicated hosting account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, so it is a fantastic choice for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server won't need to process exactly the same request if many users open a page with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it is a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any sort of content the first time a guest opens a site. If this webpage is opened again by the very same website visitor, it shall be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the server. Using this web accelerator shall decrease the load created by your websites tremendously. Last, but not least, Node.js shall enable you to build scalable web apps like hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it does not wait for a customer to submit a large piece of data, but processes whatever the client is typing in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia CP and you'll be able to pick how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll use.
Web Accelerators in VPS Web Hosting
All virtual private servers which are integrated with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you will get several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that's also often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches webpages the first time a guest opens them and provides them if that guest opens them again, so the hosting server shall not have to perform any action. Because Varnish functions considerably faster than any server, a website using this accelerator will function several times swifter. Memcached is a platform that caches database calls and responses and it's used for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven apps that store their content in a database. Node.js is an efficient platform for building scalable web apps. Any information on an Internet site that uses Node.js is processed in real time, making it an excellent choice for dining and accommodation booking sites, web-based chats, web browser games, and so forth.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers Hosting
In the event that you select Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel for your new dedicated server, you will have Memcached, Varnish and Node.js at your disposal for increasing the speed of your Internet sites. Memcached can lessen the load on the hosting server by lowering the queries your script-driven websites make since it caches database responses. This web accelerator is good for dynamic sites developed with WordPress, Joomla™ and very similar scripts. Varnish, which is often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches entire webpages the first time a new guest opens them. It could be employed to speed up any type of website as it delivers the cached content much quicker than the server each time a guest opens the same site again. You'll be able to employ Node.js for online applications that call for real-time server-client interaction like online chats or booking Internet sites. In contrast to other platforms which await the user to fill everything on a form, Node.js processes the data little by little as the user fills every box, so it works much faster and more effectively. All dedicated server packages come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those three web accelerators.
