A web accelerator is a program that speeds up a site, usually by caching its content. There are different kinds of accelerators, but in the general case this sort of programs cache static content or database responses and deliver them instead of the server, thus improving the performance of a website noticeably. The latter is achievable because accelerator programs work faster than a hosting server and not only will a site function better, but the server load shall also lessen, which will enable you to run heavy sites with less resources. We provide 3 web accelerators with our hosting solutions, which will enable you to increase the speed of any type of site. In comparison, most website hosting companies don't provide any web accelerators or offer one, which limits your choice of web apps if you want to employ this kind of software.
Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting
We provide three of the most popular web accelerators along with our shared hosting solutions and based on what plan you will select when you sign up, they could already be available or they might be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most popular one of them and it could be employed for any sort of website. It caches the pages the first time a site visitor opens them and delivers them at a faster speed compared to the hosting server each and every time that a visitor opens them again. Memcached is employed to cache API and database calls, so it could boost the speed of dynamic websites like online stores, forums or social networks. Node.js is employed for scalable web apps and it functions in real-time, which makes it perfect for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, etcetera. You shall be able to select just how much memory these accelerators shall use and how many instances of each and every one shall run from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Hosting
Memcached, Varnish and Node.js come with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and depending on the package you opt for, you will also have several gbs of dedicated memory for them. Memcached shall minimize the web server load by lowering the amount of queries that have to be handled since it caches database calls and responses. You shall be able to use it on any site which uses an API or a database - for example, any site developed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish could enhance the performance of any type of Internet site by caching whole pages the first time a guest opens them. The accelerator provides the webpages if the exact same visitor opens them later on and given that it does that much quicker than the hosting server, the website visitor will be able to surf your website at least several times faster. That is why Varnish is oftentimes called an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an innovative platform that'll enable you to create booking websites, web chats and other apps in which real-time server-user interaction is necessary. It processes the data in little bits as the user fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one substantial piece of information, which makes Node.js considerably faster than similar programs.
