A web accelerator is a software which speeds up an Internet site, normally by caching its content. There are different types of accelerators, but in the general case this sort of applications cache static content or database responses and deliver them instead of the server, as a consequence enhancing the performance of a website considerably. The latter is achievable because accelerator applications work faster than a hosting server and not simply will a site operate better, but the server load will also minimize, which will allow you to run heavy sites with less system resources. We offer three web accelerators with our hosting packages, which will allow you to increase the speed of any kind of site. In comparison, most web hosting service providers don't provide any web accelerators or provide only 1, which limits your choice of web apps if you want to employ this kind of software.

Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting

If you host your sites inside a shared hosting account from us, you'll have three popular web accelerators to choose from if you would like to boost the sites' performance. Memcached is employed for database-driven Internet sites and it caches the calls and requests between an Internet site and its database, so it can easily minimize the load of such Internet sites tremendously. Varnish caches whole web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same visitor opens them again. It does that much more quickly than the server, so it could raise the loading speed of any Internet site nearly 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time applications that operates on the web server and not within the visitor's browser. It is employed for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other programs where lots of data should be processed in real time. The availability of the accelerators depends on the hosting package which you choose - they might come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you shall be able to add more instances or more memory for each one of them.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans will permit you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js - three of the most powerful web accelerators available. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses, therefore it could easily speed up any script-driven site. You could use it for any website designed with WordPress or Joomla™, for instance. Varnish is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy and it's a general-purpose caching platform that could be used for any sort of websites. Based on the content, it could boost the performance of a site approximately 300%. Node.js is a sophisticated system employed to build scalable Internet applications that process data in real time for example booking portals. Its advantage is that unlike similar platforms, it processes info constantly and in small parts instead of waiting for the user to submit one big chunk of data. The accelerators could be enabled for any website from the Hepsia CP and you'll be able to select how many instances of each of them shall work and how much memory they shall use.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Hosting

If you obtain a dedicated server from our firm and you opt for Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to use Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your websites. All packages come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these accelerators and the actual amount depends on the package you select. Node.js is employed for scalable online applications such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the information in real time as the user enters it, which makes it faster than very similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven site, not only will the Internet site work faster, but also the load on the server will decline as there shall be a lesser amount of database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Instead, it caches entire web pages once a visitor opens them and provides them instead of the web server whenever the same visitor opens them afterwards. As Varnish processes web requests faster than any server, the overall performance of a site using this accelerator may increase up to 300%.
