A web accelerator is a server-side app which speeds up a site. Such a piece of software could operate in different ways depending on the site content, but in the general situation all such applications cache content and deliver it instead of the server. That is valid for both dynamic and static sites because the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the advantage of employing a web accelerator isn't simply the faster loading website, but also the reduced overall load on the server. That way, you'll be able to employ a lower-end hosting solution which will also cost less while your site visitors can still enjoy high browsing speeds. Few service providers offer web accelerators with their hosting packages and they often offer only 1, while we offer 3 different ones that will permit you to boost the performance of any type of website tremendously.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Hosting

In case you buy one of our cloud hosting plans, you'll have 3 popular web accelerators at your disposal and you shall be able to access them directly via the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with our packages. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it could tremendously speed up any site since it caches the web pages a site visitor opens for the first time and provides them each and every time that guest opens them again. Since Varnish works much faster than any web server, the loading speed of any site using the accelerator will grow noticeably. Memcached is employed to cache database and API calls and responses between an Internet site visitor and a web server, so it's similar to Varnish, but is used primarily for database-driven Internet sites. Because the Internet site will connect to its database way less, the overall server load shall be reduced notably. The third accelerator, Node.js, is employed for scalable online apps including chats and booking sites since it processes data in real time as soon as it is entered on the website by the users. Based on the package you pick, these accelerators might be available or could be an optional upgrade.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

All VPS servers which are incorporated with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you'll get several hundred MBs of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that is also often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches pages the first time a guest opens them and delivers them if that visitor opens them again, hence the server will not need to perform any action. Due to the fact that Varnish operates much faster than any server, a website using this accelerator will function several times faster. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it's used for WordPress, Joomla and other script-driven programs that store their content within a database. Node.js is a highly effective platform for creating scalable web programs. Any data on a website which employs Node.js is processed right away, making it a superb choice for dining and accommodation booking Internet sites, web-based chats, Internet browser games, etcetera.
