Web Accelerators
What exactly do web accelerators do? What can you do to increase your website's load speed?
A web accelerator is a server-side app which speeds up a site. Such a piece of software can operate in different ways depending on the website content, but in the general situation all such programs cache content and deliver it instead of the server. That's valid for both static and dynamic Internet sites because the cached content can be simple text or database responses and the reward of employing a web accelerator is not just the faster loading website, but also the lessened overall load on the machine. That way, you'll be able to use a lower-end hosting solution which will also cost less while your website visitors could still enjoy high browsing speeds. Several firms provide web accelerators with their hosting plans and they often offer just 1, while we offer 3 different ones that will permit you to improve the performance of any type of Internet site substantially.

Web Accelerators in Web Hosting
We offer three of the most popular web accelerators with our
web hosting packages and depending on what plan you will select when you sign up, they might already be available or they could be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most popular one of them and it can be used for any kind of Internet site. It caches the web pages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them at a considerably faster speed compared to the web server each time that a website visitor opens them again. Memcached is employed to cache API and database calls, so it could boost the speed of dynamic sites such as online stores, forums or social networks. Node.js is employed for scalable web programs and it functions in real-time, which makes it perfect for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, and many others. You'll be able to pick just how much memory these accelerators will employ and how many instances of each one shall run from your Hepsia web hosting CP.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you go for one of our
semi-dedicated server packages, you'll be able to take advantage of Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three efficient web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose app which caches web pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the web server if the visitor opens them again approximately 300% more quickly. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses so that the server doesn't have to process every request, that makes it ideal for database-driven Internet sites, for instance ones designed with Joomla
™ or WordPress. Node.js is employed to develop web programs that operate in real-time such as chats or accommodation booking websites and it processes each bit of information the moment the user types it as opposed to waiting for big pieces of info to be accumulated. The Hepsia CP which is included with our semi-dedicated solutions shall permit you to pick how many instances of every accelerator shall work at a time and the amount of memory they'll use.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
If you choose your
VPS server to be set up with the Hepsia Control Panel, you shall be able to use Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - 3 of the most popular web accelerators. Varnish caches pages the first time they are visited and provides them every time the same person visits them again, which shall speed up any kind of site several times. Memcached is employed for dynamic script apps such as Joomla
™ and WordPress because it caches database requests and responses, as a result the database server won't need to process the exact same website each time guests open it in the event that the same content should be shown. Node.js is a platform for building real-time apps for example online games and chats. It operates faster than similar platforms because it processes the information in small parts all the time and does not wait for users to submit a sizable piece of data that will need more time to be processed. The three web accelerators are available with all Hepsia-based VPS plans and come with several hundred MBs of dedicated memory.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
In case you select Hepsia as the hosting CP for your new dedicated server, you'll have Memcached, Varnish and Node.js at your disposal for increasing the speed of your sites. Memcached can reduce the load on the hosting server by lowering the queries your script-driven websites make as it caches database responses. This web accelerator is perfect for dynamic Internet sites designed with WordPress, Joomla
™ and similar scripts. Varnish, which is referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches whole sites the first time a new website visitor opens them. It could be used to speed up any sort of site as it provides the cached content much faster than the server every time a visitor opens the same page again. You could use Node.js for online programs which demand real-time server-client interaction including online chats or booking websites. In contrast to other platforms which await the user to enter everything on a form, Node.js processes the info little by little as the user fills every box, so it works considerably faster and more effectively. All
dedicated server packages feature several gigabytes of memory dedicated to these three web accelerators.
