A web accelerator is a software which quickens an Internet site, typically by caching its content. There are different sorts of accelerators, but in the common case this kind of programs cache static content or database responses and deliver them instead of the web server, hence enhancing the performance of a site considerably. The latter is possible because accelerator applications work faster than a hosting server and not only will a site work better, but the server load shall also minimize, which will permit you to run heavy websites with less resources. We provide three web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will enable you to increase the speed of any kind of Internet site. In comparison, most website hosting companies don't offer any web accelerators or offer just one, which limits your choice of web applications if you want to employ this kind of software.
Web Accelerators in Website Hosting
Our website hosting packages feature 3 web accelerators that you could employ depending on the sites that you would like to run. Memcached is used to cache database or API calls and responses, which can drastically improve the performance of dynamic sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator which caches pages and provides them to the website visitors much quicker than the hosting server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform employed for scalable real-time apps for example booking sites. Depending on the Internet hosting solution you select, these three programs may already be included or may be optional upgrades. Either way, you will be able to choose how many instances of every one of them shall be at your disposal and how much memory they should employ. These accelerators are offered only by a handful of hosting providers, including ours, and they can easily increase the speed of your web programs drastically.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the sites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account depending on the nature of the site content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, therefore it is an excellent option for any script application like WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database server shall not have to process exactly the same request if a number of users open a webpage with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a guest opens an Internet site. If this webpage is opened again by the very same website visitor, it shall be delivered by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the hosting server. Employing this web accelerator shall reduce the load generated by your sites drastically. Last, but not least, Node.js will enable you to produce scalable web programs like hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over very similar platforms is that it doesn't wait for a client to submit a large piece of info, but processes whatever the user is inputting in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to choose how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may employ.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Varnish and Node.js come with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and based on the plan which you choose, you shall also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached can reduce the hosting server load by lowering the amount of queries which need to be taken care of as it caches database calls and responses. You shall be able to use it on any website which uses an API or a database - as an illustration, any website developed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can boost the performance of any type of site by caching whole pages the first time a guest opens them. The accelerator delivers the pages if the same visitor opens them afterwards and because it does that faster than the web server, the website visitor shall be able to look through your site at least a few times faster. That's why Varnish is often called an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is a sophisticated platform which will permit you to build booking websites, web chats and other applications where real-time server-user interaction is required. It processes the info in tiny parts as the client fills different boxes and doesn't wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one substantial chunk of info, which makes Node.js much quicker than similar applications.
