A web accelerator is a server-side program that speeds up an Internet site. Such a piece of software may function in different ways depending on the site content, but in the general situation all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. This is valid for both static and dynamic sites because the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the advantage of using a web accelerator is not just the faster loading Internet site, but also the smaller overall load on the server. This way, you could use a lower-end hosting solution that will also cost less while your visitors could still enjoy high browsing speeds. Handful of firms offer web accelerators with their hosting packages and they usually offer only 1, while we offer three different ones which will permit you to enhance the performance of any type of site tremendously.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting plans feature three web accelerators which you could employ depending on the Internet sites that you would like to run. Memcached is used to cache database or API calls and responses, which could greatly boost the functionality of dynamic websites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator which caches pages and provides them to the visitors considerably quicker than the web server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform employed for scalable real-time apps such as booking websites. Depending upon the web hosting plan you select, these 3 apps may already be included or could be optional upgrades. In either case, you shall be able to choose how many instances of every one of them will be at your disposal and what amount of memory they should employ. These accelerators are supplied only by a handful of Internet hosting firms, including ours, and they could increase the speed of your web programs substantially.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you go for one of our semi-dedicated server solutions, you will be able to employ Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three effective web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose application which caches web pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the server if the website visitor opens them again approximately 300% quicker. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses to ensure the server does not have to process each and every request, that makes it suitable for database-driven websites, for instance ones built with Joomla™ or WordPress. Node.js is used to build web programs that operate in real-time including chats or accommodation booking websites and it processes each and every bit of information the instant the user types it rather than waiting for sizeable portions of information to be accumulated. The Hepsia CP that is included with our semi-dedicated plans shall allow you to select how many instances of each and every accelerator will work at a time and what amount of memory they will use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

In case you obtain a VPS server with the Hepsia CP, you will be able to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. All 3 accelerators are included within our solutions by default and come with dedicated memory of a few hundred megabytes. Node.js is employed to create scalable applications where real-time interaction is needed - booking sites, online flash games, chats, etc. It processes the data in little pieces as the end user is entering it, thus it functions more quickly than other platforms that wait for the users to input one large 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 visitor opens the same website again, which can speed any website several times since Varnish functions faster than any hosting server. Memcached is used for caching API and database responses, so it's appropriate for script-driven websites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can minimize the load on your web server as it will lower the number of database queries that your websites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

If you obtain a dedicated server from our firm and you choose Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All plans include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the exact amount depends on the package you choose. Node.js is used for scalable online apps like browser games or hotel booking and it processes the data right away as the user enters it, which makes it considerably quicker than similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven Internet site, not simply will the site speed up, but also the load on the hosting server will decline as there shall be a lesser amount of database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Rather, it caches whole pages once a visitor opens them and provides them instead of the server whenever the same visitor opens them afterwards. As Varnish processes web requests much faster than any server, the performance of a site using this accelerator could increase around 300%.
