A web accelerator is a program which speeds up an Internet site, usually by caching its content. There are different types of accelerators, but in the common case this sort of apps cache static content or database responses and supply them in lieu of the hosting server, therefore increasing the performance of a website considerably. The latter is achievable because accelerator programs work faster than a server and not simply will a website function better, but the server load will also decline, which will permit you to run heavy websites with less resources. We offer 3 web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will permit you to increase the speed of any kind of Internet site. In comparison, most Internet hosting companies do not provide any web accelerators or offer only one, which limits your choice of web applications in the event that you want to employ this type of software.
Web Accelerators in Hosting
Our hosting plans come with three web accelerators that you could use depending on the Internet sites which you would like to run. Memcached is employed to cache database or API calls and responses, which can tremendously boost the performance of dynamic Internet sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches pages and provides them to the website visitors much quicker than the web server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform used for scalable real-time applications for example booking websites. Based on the hosting plan you pick, these 3 programs might already be included or could be optional upgrades. Regardless, you will be able to select how many instances of each one of them shall be at your disposal and what amount of memory they ought to use. These accelerators are provided only by several hosting firms, including ours, and they could raise the speed of your web programs significantly.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia CP that comes with our semi-dedicated server packages shall permit you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. Memcached is one of the most well known accelerators since it can easily speed up any API or database-driven website by caching requests and responses, thus the web server won't have to process identical requests over and over again. The platform is ideal for Internet sites created with apps such as Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is a powerful accelerator which caches any type of content and is also often called an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches web pages which are opened by a website visitor for the first time and provides them each time that same website visitor opens them again. Varnish can certainly accelerate a site several times simply because it delivers content faster than any web server. Node.js is a platform employed for scalable real-time applications like chats, Internet browser games or social networks. It processes info in little parts the moment a user types anything, therefore it works much faster than similar platforms where users submit big chunks of information which need time to be processed. You can pick the number of instances and the dedicated memory for each of the three accelerators using your Control Panel.
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 will get several hundred MBs of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that's also often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches webpages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them when that guest opens them again, hence the hosting server won't need to perform any action. Due to the fact that Varnish works faster than any hosting server, a site employing this accelerator shall work several times swifter. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it's used for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven apps which store their content within a database. Node.js is an efficient platform for developing scalable web apps. Any info on a site which uses Node.js is processed in real time, making it a superb choice for dining and accommodation booking websites, web-based chats, Internet browser games, and so on.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
In the event that you obtain a dedicated server from our firm and you select Hepsia as the hosting CP, you'll be able to employ Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your sites. All packages come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the exact amount depends on the package you select. Node.js is employed for scalable online programs such as browser games or hotel booking and it processes the data instantly as the user enters it, which makes it considerably quicker than very similar platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven site, not only will the website work faster, but also the load on the server will minimize since there will be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it's not limited to databases. Instead, it caches whole websites once a website visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the hosting server each and every time the same visitor opens them later on. Due to the fact that Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any server, the performance of a site using this accelerator may increase as much as 300%.
