A web accelerator is a software which accelerates a website, typically by caching its content. There are different kinds of accelerators, but in the general case such applications cache static content or database responses and supply them in lieu of the hosting server, therefore boosting the performance of a website noticeably. The latter is achievable because accelerator applications work faster than a web server and not only will a site work better, but the server load will also decrease, which will permit you to run heavy websites with less resources. We provide three web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will enable you to accelerate any type of website. In comparison, most website hosting companies do not offer any web accelerators or offer only one, which limits your choice of web apps in the event that you want to employ such software.

Web Accelerators in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting plans include three web accelerators that you could employ depending on the Internet sites which you would like to run. Memcached is used to cache database or API calls and responses, which could significantly improve the performance of dynamic websites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches pages and provides them to the website visitors way quicker than the hosting server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform used for scalable real-time programs such as booking websites. With respect to the hosting package you select, these three programs might already be included or might be optional upgrades. In either case, you shall be able to pick how many instances of each of them will be at your disposal and what amount of memory they should use. These accelerators are provided only by a handful of Internet hosting providers, including ours, and they can boost the speed of your web applications substantially.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the Internet sites hosted inside your semi-dedicated server account depending on the nature of the site content. Memcached, for instance, caches database requests, therefore it is an excellent option for any script program like WordPress or Joomla. That way, the database hosting server shall not have to process the very same request if many users open a webpage with the same content. Varnish is similar, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a visitor opens an Internet site. In case that webpage is opened again by the exact same visitor, it will be provided by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the web server. Employing this web accelerator will reduce the load created by your sites substantially. Last, but not least, Node.js shall allow you to build scalable web programs such as hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it doesn't wait for a client to submit a sizable piece of data, but processes whatever the client is entering in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to choose how many instances of every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they'll use.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers

In the event that you choose Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel for your new dedicated server, you shall have Memcached, Varnish and Node.js at your disposal for speeding up your Internet sites. Memcached can easily reduce the load on the server by lowering the queries your script-driven sites make since it caches database responses. This web accelerator is perfect for dynamic websites developed with WordPress, Joomla and very similar scripts. Varnish, which is referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches entire websites the first time a new visitor opens them. It may be employed to speed up any sort of website as it provides the cached content considerably faster than the hosting server every time a customer opens the same page again. You could employ Node.js for online apps which require real-time server-client interaction such as online chats or booking websites. Different from other platforms which wait for the user to input everything on a form, Node.js processes the data gradually as the user fills each and every box, so it functions considerably faster and more efficiently. All dedicated server plans come with several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those 3 web accelerators.
