A web accelerator is an application that speeds up an Internet site, normally by caching its content. There are various sorts of accelerators, but in the typical case this kind of applications cache static content or database responses and supply them instead of the web server, hence improving the performance of a website noticeably. The latter can be done because accelerator apps work faster than a web server and not only will a site work better, but the server load will also minimize, which will permit you to run heavy sites with less system resources. We offer three web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will permit you to accelerate any kind of Internet site. In comparison, most hosting businesses do not offer any web accelerators or offer only 1, which limits your choice of web applications in case you want to use this type of software.

Web Accelerators in Shared Website Hosting

When you purchase one of our shared website hosting packages, you shall have three widely used web accelerators at your disposal and you will be able to access them directly via the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our solutions. Varnish is one of the most well-known ones and it could significantly increase the speed of any site since it caches the pages that a visitor opens for the first time and provides them each time that guest opens them again. Given that Varnish operates way quicker than any hosting server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator will grow noticeably. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between an Internet site visitor and a server, so it is similar to Varnish, but is employed mainly for database-driven sites. Because the website will connect to its database way less, the overall web server load shall be reduced substantially. The 3rd accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online apps such as chats and booking sites as it processes data in real time the moment it is entered on the webpage by the users. Depending on the plan you select, these accelerators might be available or might be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the Internet sites hosted inside your semi-dedicated hosting account in accordance with the nature of the website content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, therefore it's a great choice for any script program such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server will not have to process the exact same request if a number of users open a site with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any sort of content the first time a guest opens an Internet site. In case this web page is opened again by the same visitor, it'll be delivered by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the web server. Using this web accelerator shall lessen the load created by your websites significantly. Last, but not least, Node.js will permit you to create scalable web apps such as hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a client to submit a sizable piece of information, but processes whatever the user is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to select how many instances of each one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may employ.

Web Accelerators in VPS Hosting

All virtual private servers which are incorporated with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you'll have several hundred MBs of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, which is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches webpages the first time a guest opens them and provides them if that guest opens them again, hence the web server won't have to perform any action. Due to the fact that Varnish operates faster than any web server, a website using this accelerator will operate several times faster. Memcached is a platform that caches database calls and responses and it is employed for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven programs that store their content within a database. Node.js is an effective platform for developing scalable web applications. Any data on an Internet site that employs Node.js is processed right away, which makes it an excellent choice for dining and accommodation booking sites, web-based chats, web browser games, etcetera.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting

Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are provided with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and based on the package deal that you choose, you will also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached can decrease the server load by lowering the amount of queries that need to be taken care of because it caches database calls and responses. You will be able to use it on any website which uses an API or a database - as an illustration, any site built with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish could improve the performance of any type of Internet site by caching whole webpages the first time a guest opens them. The accelerator delivers the webpages if the very same visitor opens them later on and since it does that much quicker than the web server, the visitor shall be able to browse your Internet site at least a few times faster. That's why Varnish is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an advanced platform that will enable you to build booking sites, web chats and other applications in which real-time server-user interaction is needed. It processes the information in little parts as the user fills different boxes and doesn't wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one large piece of information, which makes Node.js way quicker than similar apps.
