A web accelerator is a piece of software that speeds up an Internet site usually by caching content and providing it instead of the web server. Such apps could be used for both dynamic and static sites because there are various accelerators which can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The best thing about using a web accelerator is that a given site shall perform significantly faster without employing more resources. On the contrary, such a site will require significantly less resources to operate since the web accelerator will tackle most requests instead of the web server. Unlike many firms which do not offer web accelerators with their solutions or offer just one, we offer 3 different ones that will permit you to speed up your websites regardless of their type or content.

Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting

When you host your Internet sites in a shared hosting account from our company, you will have three popular web accelerators to select from if you'd like to improve the sites' performance. Memcached is employed for database-driven sites and it caches the calls and requests between a website and its database, so it can reduce the load of such Internet sites drastically. Varnish caches entire web pages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same website visitor opens them again. It does that faster than the server, so it can increase the loading speed of any Internet site as much as 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time programs which functions on the hosting server and not within the visitor's Internet browser. It's employed for 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 plan that you choose - they may come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you will be able to include more instances or more memory for each of them.

Web Accelerators in VPS Servers

If you choose your VPS server to be integrated with the Hepsia CP, you'll be able to use Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - three of the most popular web accelerators. Varnish caches sites the first time they are visited and provides them whenever the same individual visits them again, which can speed up any kind of website several times. Memcached is employed for dynamic script apps like Joomla™ and WordPress since it caches database requests and responses, therefore the database server will not have to process the exact same website each and every time visitors open it in the event that the same content should be shown. Node.js is a platform for building real-time apps like online games and chats. It works faster than similar platforms as it processes the information in tiny bits all the time and does not wait for users to enter a sizable piece of data that shall need more time to be processed. The 3 web accelerators are available with all Hepsia-based VPS plans and come with several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory.
