A web accelerator is an application that accelerates a site, usually by caching its content. There are many sorts of accelerators, but in the common case such programs cache static content or database responses and provide them in lieu of the hosting server, as a consequence increasing the performance of an Internet site greatly. The latter is achievable because accelerator programs work faster than a web server and not only will a website work better, but the server load shall also decrease, which will permit you to run heavy websites with less resources. We offer three web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will permit you to increase the speed of any type of website. In comparison, most Internet hosting service providers do not provide any web accelerators or offer just one, which limits your choice of web applications if you'd like to use such software.
Web Accelerators in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting solutions feature three web accelerators which you could employ depending on the sites that you'd like to run. Memcached is employed to cache database or API calls and responses, which could tremendously enhance the efficiency of dynamic sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches pages and delivers them to the website 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 applications including booking sites. Depending on the Internet hosting solution you select, these 3 applications may already be included or may be optional upgrades. Regardless, you'll be able to choose how many instances of every one of them will be at your disposal and what amount of memory they should use. These accelerators are offered only by several hosting companies, including ours, and they can easily increase the speed of your web applications substantially.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the sites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, so it is a great option for any script app like WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database server shall not need to process the exact same request if multiple users open a site with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it is a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a guest opens a page. If that web page is opened again by the very same website visitor, it will be delivered by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the hosting server. Using this web accelerator will decrease the load generated by your Internet sites drastically. Last, but not least, Node.js shall enable you to create scalable web applications such as hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it does not wait for a user to submit a substantial piece of data, but processes whatever the user is entering in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia Control Panel and you shall be able to select how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may use.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
We offer Memcached, Node.js and Varnish with all VPS servers that are obtained with the Hepsia CP. Your hosting server shall also come with a few hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for these accelerators and the exact amount depends on the package that you choose. Memcached is employed for script-driven Internet sites since it caches database responses, as a result decreasing the number of queries which a script sends to its database. It may be used for any script including WordPress or Joomla™. Node.js is a powerful platform for developing web applications such as booking websites and chats. The real-time interaction between users and a server is done by processing small parts of data as soon any user inputs anything on the website. In comparison, other platforms wait for users to input a whole lot of info before they process it, consequently they function slower. Varnish is a multi-purpose accelerator that caches entire pages and delivers them instead of the web server at a considerably faster rate. It's also referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy and it can speed up any sort of website.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are provided with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and based on the package deal which you pick, you'll also have several gbs of dedicated memory for them. Memcached can decrease the server load by lowering the number of queries that need to be taken care of because it caches database calls and responses. You shall be able to use it on any Internet site that uses an API or a database - for instance, any website developed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can easily boost the performance of any kind of site by caching whole webpages the first time a guest opens them. The accelerator provides the pages if the very same visitor opens them later and considering the fact that it does that much quicker than the web server, the website visitor shall be able to surf your site at least a few times faster. This is why Varnish is sometimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is a sophisticated platform that'll allow you to create booking sites, web chats and other applications where real-time server-user interaction is necessary. It processes the information in little portions as the client fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one large chunk of data, which makes Node.js way quicker than similar programs.
