Web Accelerators
Just what do web accelerators do? What can you do to boost your site's loading speed?
A web accelerator is a server-side app that quickens an Internet site. Such a piece of software may work in different ways depending upon the website content, but in the typical case all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the server. That's valid for both dynamic and static sites because the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the reward of using a web accelerator is not only the faster loading website, but also the decreased overall load on the web server. This way, you could use a lower-end hosting solution that'll also cost less while your website visitors can still enjoy fast browsing speeds. Few businesses offer web accelerators with their hosting plans and they typically offer just 1, while we offer three different ones that will permit you to boost the performance of any kind of website tremendously.

Web Accelerators in Shared Website Hosting
We provide three of the most well-known web accelerators with our
shared website hosting services and based on what plan you will pick when you sign up, they might already be available or they could be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most popular one of them and it can be used for any type of site. It caches the web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them at a much faster speed compared to the hosting server each time that a website visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it can increase the speed of dynamic websites including online stores, forums or social networks. Node.js is employed for scalable web applications and it works in real-time, which makes it excellent for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, and so forth. You will be able to pick what amount of memory these accelerators shall employ and how many instances of each one will run from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you choose one of our
semi-dedicated server solutions, you shall be able to take advantage of Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three powerful web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose program that caches web pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the server if the site visitor opens them again approximately 300% faster. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses so the hosting server doesn't have to process each and every request, that makes it ideal for database-driven Internet sites, for example ones built with Joomla
™ or WordPress. Node.js is employed to produce web programs which function in real-time such as chats or accommodation booking websites and it processes every bit of info the moment the user enters it instead of waiting for massive pieces of data to be accumulated. The Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with our semi-dedicated solutions will permit you to choose how many instances of every accelerator will work at a time and what amount of memory they will use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
All
VPS servers which are incorporated with the Hepsia CP come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you shall 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 website visitor opens them and provides them when that visitor opens them again, therefore the server won't need to perform any action. Since Varnish operates considerably faster than any hosting server, a website using this accelerator will function several times swifter. Memcached is a platform that caches database calls and responses and it's employed for WordPress, Joomla
™ and other script-driven applications which store their content inside a database. Node.js is a powerful platform for developing scalable web programs. Any data on an Internet site that uses Node.js is processed right away, making it a superb choice for dining and accommodation booking Internet sites, web-based chats, web browser games, and so forth.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
In case you buy a
dedicated server from us and you opt for Hepsia as the hosting CP, you will 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 specific amount depends on the package deal that you select. Node.js is employed for scalable online applications such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information right away as the client 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 website, not only will the site speed up, but also the load on the server will reduce because there will be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it's not at all limited to databases. Instead, it caches whole webpages once a website visitor opens them and provides them instead of the hosting server every time the same visitor opens them later. Because Varnish processes web requests much faster than any hosting server, the overall performance of a website using this accelerator could increase up to 300%.
