Web Accelerators

A web accelerator is a server-side app which speeds up an Internet site. Such a piece of software may function in different ways depending upon the site content, but in the general case all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the web server. This is valid for both static and dynamic websites because the cached content can be simple text or database responses and the reward of employing a web accelerator isn't just the faster loading Internet site, but also the reduced overall load on the hosting server. That way, you'll be able to use a lower-end hosting package which will also cost less while your website visitors could still enjoy fast browsing speeds. Several firms supply web accelerators with their hosting packages and they frequently offer only one, while we offer 3 different ones that'll enable you to improve the performance of any type of site significantly.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with our semi-dedicated hosting packages shall allow you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your sites. Memcached is one of the most well-known accelerators as it can easily increase the speed of any API or database-driven Internet site by caching requests and responses, thus the web server shall not need to process identical requests again and again. The platform is suitable for sites built with applications such as Joomla^™, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is an effective accelerator that caches any kind of content and is also frequently called an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches pages which are opened by a website visitor for the first time and provides them every time that very same site visitor opens them again. Varnish can certainly accelerate a site several times because it delivers content quicker than any web server. Node.js is a platform employed for scalable real-time applications such as chats, Internet browser games or social networks. It processes information in little parts the instant a user enters something, so it works much more quickly than similar platforms in which users submit large chunks of data which need time to be processed. You could pick the number of instances and the dedicated memory for each and every one of the three accelerators via your Control Panel.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting

Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are available by default with all our dedicated servers that are ordered with Hepsia as the Internet hosting Control Panel. These 3 web accelerators offer several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you could use them to speed up any sort of Internet site. Memcached can significantly minimize the load on the server if you have script-driven Internet sites since it caches database responses, thus it minimizes the amount of database queries the hosting server has to tackle. Node.js shall permit you to develop scalable applications with real-time user-server interaction like chats or dining booking Internet sites. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it processes info the moment the user enters it, so all the data is managed faster and in small pieces. Varnish caches entire Internet pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them every time the same guest opens them again, that makes it a universal accelerator for any kind of websites. Because it works quicker than any web server, it could speed up an Internet site at least several times and because of this, Varnish is amongst the most popular web accelerators available on the market.
