A web accelerator is a software program which speeds up a site typically by caching content and supplying it instead of the hosting server. Such applications can be used for both static and dynamic Internet sites because there are a variety of accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The advantage of employing a web accelerator is that a given website will perform significantly faster without using extra system resources. On the contrary, this type of a site will require significantly less resources to function as the web accelerator will take care of most requests instead of the hosting server. In contrast to many firms that don't offer web accelerators with their packages or offer just one, we offer three different ones which will permit you to speed up your Internet sites irrespective of their type or content.
Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting
We provide three of the most well-known web accelerators with our shared hosting packages and based upon what plan you'll select when you sign up, they could already be available or they might be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most popular one of them and it may be employed for any kind of Internet site. It caches the web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them at a considerably faster speed compared to the web server every time that a visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it can easily increase the speed of dynamic Internet sites like online stores, forums or social networks. Node.js is employed for scalable web apps and it operates in real-time, which makes it excellent for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, etc. You shall be able to pick just how much memory these accelerators will use and how many instances of each shall run from your Hepsia Internet hosting CP.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You'll be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted inside your semi-dedicated server account based on the nature of the site content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, therefore it's a superb option for any script application such as WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database server shall not need to process exactly the same request if multiple users open a site with the same content. Varnish is very similar, but it is a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any sort of content the first time a visitor opens a site. If that page is opened again by the same website visitor, it'll be provided by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the web server. Employing this web accelerator can reduce the load produced by your Internet sites considerably. Last, but not least, Node.js will enable you to produce scalable web apps such as hotel booking Internet sites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it doesn't wait for a client to submit a large piece of data, but processes whatever the user is typing in real-time. The three web accelerators are available inside the Hepsia CP and you'll be able to select how many instances of each one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they can employ.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
In case you choose your VPS server to be incorporated with the Hepsia CP, you shall be able to use Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three of the most commonly used web accelerators. Varnish caches webpages the first time they are visited and provides them each time the same individual visits them again, which shall speed up any sort of website several times. Memcached is employed for dynamic script apps such as Joomla™ and WordPress because it caches database requests and responses, as a result the database web server will not have to process the exact same page each time visitors open it in the event that the same content should be shown. Node.js is a platform for building real-time apps like online games and chats. It works faster than similar platforms since it processes the information in tiny portions all the time and doesn't wait for users to enter a large piece of data which shall need more time to be processed. The three web accelerators are available with all Hepsia-based VPS packages and come with several hundred MBs of dedicated memory.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are available with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and depending on the plan you choose, you shall also have several gbs of dedicated memory for them. Memcached can minimize the server load by lowering the number of queries that have to be handled because it caches database calls and responses. You'll be able to use it on any Internet site that uses an API or a database - as an illustration, any website developed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can boost the performance of any sort of Internet site by caching whole pages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator delivers the webpages if the very same visitor opens them afterwards and considering the fact that it does that considerably quicker than the server, the website visitor will be able to surf your site at least a few times faster. That is why Varnish is often called an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an advanced platform that'll enable you to develop booking websites, web chats and other programs in which real-time server-user interaction is necessary. It processes the data in tiny bits as the client fills different boxes and doesn't wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one massive piece of information, which makes Node.js considerably faster than similar applications.
