Web Accelerators
What exactly do web accelerators do? What can you do in order to boost your Internet site's load speed?
A web accelerator is a server-side program which quickens a site. Such a piece of software can function in different ways depending on the website content, but in the typical case all such programs cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That is valid for both dynamic and static websites because the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the advantage of using a web accelerator isn't just the faster loading website, but also the lessened overall load on the hosting server. That way, you'll be able to use a lower-end hosting solution that will also cost less while your website visitors will be able to still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Handful of firms offer web accelerators with their hosting deals and they usually offer only one, while we offer 3 different ones which will allow you to improve the performance of any sort of website considerably.

Web Accelerators in Shared Website Hosting
Our
shared website hosting plans feature 3 web accelerators that you will be able to use depending on the websites which you would like to run. Memcached is used to cache database or API calls and responses, which could tremendously enhance the efficiency of dynamic Internet sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches web pages and provides them to the site visitors considerably quicker than the server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform employed for scalable real-time apps including booking sites. Based on the Internet hosting plan you select, these three apps could already be included or could be optional upgrades. Either way, you'll be able to choose how many instances of each one of them shall be at your disposal and what amount of memory they should use. These accelerators are offered only by a few hosting providers, including ours, and they can easily boost the speed of your web applications drastically.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our
semi-dedicated server solutions shall permit you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js - 3 of the most effective web accelerators on the market. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses, therefore it could easily boost any script-driven Internet site. You can use it for any site created with WordPress or Joomla
™, for example. Varnish is also referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy and it is a general-purpose caching platform which could be employed for any kind of websites. Based on the content, it can boost the performance of a site up to 300%. Node.js is an innovative system employed to build scalable Internet programs that process information in real time for example booking portals. Its advantage is that different from comparable platforms, it processes data constantly and in small parts instead of waiting for the user to submit one sizeable piece of data. The accelerators could be enabled for any website through the Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to select how many instances of every one of them will work and how much memory they will use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
In the event that you obtain a
VPS server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All 3 accelerators are incorporated within our plans by default and come with dedicated memory of a few hundred MBs. Node.js is used to create scalable apps where real-time interaction is necessary - booking websites, online flash games, chats, and so on. It processes the data in smaller bits as the user is entering it, thus it operates faster than other platforms that wait for the end users to submit one big part of info. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator that operates as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it when the same site visitor opens the same page again, which can speed any Internet site several times due to the fact that Varnish works more quickly than any server. Memcached is used for caching API and database responses, so it's ideal for script-driven sites like WordPress and Joomla
™. This web accelerator can easily lessen the load on your server because it shall reduce the number of database queries which your Internet sites make.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are offered with all
dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting CP and based on the package deal which you pick, you'll also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached will decrease the server load by lowering the number of queries which have to be addressed 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 - for example, any site designed with WordPress or Joomla
™. Varnish can enhance the performance of any sort of Internet site by caching whole pages the first time a guest opens them. The accelerator delivers the pages if the very same visitor opens them afterwards and because it does that much faster than the web server, the website visitor shall be able to browse your site at least a few times faster. This is why Varnish is occasionally referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is a sophisticated platform which will allow you to develop booking websites, web chats and other apps where real-time server-user interaction is needed. It processes the data in tiny portions as the user fills different boxes and doesn't wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one sizeable chunk of information, which makes Node.js much faster than similar apps.
