A web accelerator is a software application that accelerates an Internet site generally by caching content and providing it instead of the hosting server. Such applications could be employed for both static and dynamic sites because there are various accelerators that can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The advantage of employing a web accelerator is that a given website will perform noticeably faster without using extra system resources. Just the opposite, this type of a website will require much less resources to work since the web accelerator will tackle most requests rather than the server. Contrary to many companies which don't offer web accelerators with their packages or offer only one, we offer three different ones that'll allow you to speed up your websites regardless of their style or content.

Web Accelerators in Hosting

Our hosting plans come with three web accelerators which you can employ depending on the sites which you'd like to run. Memcached is employed to cache database or API calls and responses, which could considerably enhance the efficiency of dynamic websites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches webpages and provides them to the site 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 applications including booking sites. Based on the Internet hosting solution you pick, these three apps might already be included or might be optional upgrades. Either way, you will be able to choose how many instances of every one of them shall be at your disposal and how much memory they ought to employ. These accelerators are provided only by a handful of Internet hosting companies, including ours, and they can easily boost the speed of your web applications considerably.

Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the sites hosted inside your semi-dedicated server account in accordance with the nature of the site content. Memcached, in particular, caches database requests, therefore it's a fantastic option for any script app such as WordPress or Joomla™. That way, the database server will not have to process exactly the same request if a number of users open a site with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it's a general-purpose accelerator as it caches any kind of content the first time a website visitor opens a page. If that web page is opened again by the same guest, it shall be delivered by Varnish at a greater speed compared to the web server. Using this web accelerator will reduce the load produced by your Internet sites substantially. Last, but not least, Node.js will allow you to produce scalable web programs like hotel booking sites or chats. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it does not wait for a client to submit a sizable piece of information, but processes whatever the customer is inputting in real-time. The three web accelerators are available within the Hepsia CP and you'll be able to pick how many instances of each and 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 accelerating your Internet sites. Memcached can reduce the load on the web server by lowering the queries your script-driven sites make since it caches database responses. This web accelerator is good for dynamic sites developed with WordPress, Joomla™ and very similar scripts. Varnish, which is referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches whole pages the first time a new visitor opens them. It could be used to accelerate any kind of Internet site as it provides the cached content way quicker than the server every time a guest opens the same page again. You can use Node.js for online apps which demand real-time server-client interaction such as online chats or booking sites. Different from other platforms which await the user to enter everything on a form, Node.js processes the info bit by bit as the user fills every box, so it works much faster and more efficiently. All dedicated server packages include several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those three web accelerators.
