A web accelerator is a piece of software which speeds up a website typically by caching content and delivering it instead of the web server. Such applications could be employed for both static and dynamic Internet sites as there are different accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The best thing about employing a web accelerator is that a given site will perform noticeably faster without employing more resources. Quite the opposite, such a site will need much less resources to work since the web accelerator will take care of most requests instead of the web server. Contrary to many businesses that don't offer web accelerators with their plans or offer only one, we offer 3 different ones which will enable you to speed up your sites whatever their style or content.

Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting packages come with three web accelerators that you can use depending on the websites that you'd like to run. Memcached is employed to cache database or API calls and responses, which can significantly enhance the functionality of dynamic sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches web pages and provides them to the site visitors much faster than the server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform used for scalable real-time apps for example booking sites. Depending on the Internet hosting package you choose, these three applications might already be included or may be optional upgrades. In either case, you shall be able to choose how many instances of each of them will be at your disposal and what amount of memory they ought to employ. These accelerators are offered only by several hosting companies, including ours, and they can easily raise the speed of your web applications drastically.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll 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 website content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, so it is a superb choice for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database server shall not have to process the same request if many users open a webpage with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any kind of content the first time a website visitor opens a site. If that page is opened again by the very same guest, it will be delivered by Varnish at a much better speed compared to the hosting server. Employing this web accelerator can lessen the load created by your sites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js shall allow you to create scalable web programs like hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a user to submit a substantial piece of information, but processes whatever the client is entering in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available in 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 can use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Hosting

In the event that you get a virtual private server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All three accelerators are incorporated inside our solutions by default and come with dedicated memory of several hundred MBs. Node.js is employed to build scalable apps where real-time interaction is necessary - booking Internet sites, online games, chats, and so on. It processes the information in small portions as the end user is entering it, as a result it operates much faster than other platforms which wait for the end users to input one big piece of info. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator which works as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it if the same website visitor opens the same webpage again, which can easily speed any website several times since Varnish functions a lot quicker than any web server. Memcached is used for caching API and database responses, so it's suitable for script-driven sites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can easily minimize the load on your server since it shall reduced the number of database queries which your websites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you purchase a dedicated server from us and you opt for Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All plans come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the actual amount depends on the plan you select. Node.js is employed for scalable online applications such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the info right away as the user enters it, which makes it considerably quicker than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven site, not only will the site speed up, but also the load on the hosting server will minimize as there will be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Rather, it caches entire webpages once a guest opens them and delivers them instead of the server every time the same visitor opens them later on. Because Varnish processes web requests faster than any web server, the performance of a website using this accelerator could increase around 300%.
