A web accelerator is a software that quickens an Internet site, typically by caching its content. There are many sorts of accelerators, but in the general case such applications cache static content or database responses and supply them in place of the web server, thus boosting the performance of an Internet site greatly. The latter is achievable because accelerator applications work faster than a web server and not simply will an Internet site work better, but the server load will also lessen, which will permit you to run heavy Internet sites with less resources. We offer 3 web accelerators with our hosting packages, which will enable you to increase the speed of any type of Internet site. In comparison, most website hosting businesses don't provide any web accelerators or provide just one, which limits your choice of web applications in case you'd like to use this type of software.
Web Accelerators in Hosting
If you acquire one of our hosting solutions, you'll have 3 well-known web accelerators at your disposal and you'll be able to access them directly through the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with our packages. Varnish is one of the most widely used ones and it could significantly speed up any Internet site because it caches the web pages a site visitor opens for the first time and delivers them each time that website visitor opens them again. Because Varnish operates faster than any web server, the loading speed of any website using the accelerator shall increase considerably. Memcached is used to cache database and API calls and responses between a website visitor and a web server, so it is comparable to Varnish, but is used largely for database-driven Internet sites. Since the site will connect to its database significantly less, the overall server load shall be decreased considerably. The 3rd accelerator, Node.js, is used for scalable online programs such as chats and booking sites because it processes information in real time the moment it is entered on the webpage by the users. Dependant upon the plan you choose, these accelerators could be available or could be an optional upgrade.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to use Memcached, Varnish or Node.js for the websites hosted within your semi-dedicated server account depending on the nature of the site content. Memcached, for example, caches database requests, therefore it is a superb choice for any script application such as WordPress or Joomla™. This way, the database server shall not need to process the exact same request if a number of users open a website with the same content. Varnish is comparable, but it's a general-purpose accelerator since it caches any type of content the first time a guest opens a site. If this page is opened again by the same visitor, it'll be provided by Varnish at a much higher speed compared to the web server. Employing this web accelerator shall minimize the load generated by your websites drastically. Last, but not least, Node.js shall enable you to produce scalable web apps like hotel booking websites or chats. Its advantage over similar platforms is that it does not wait for a customer to submit a sizable piece of info, but processes whatever the user is typing in real-time. The 3 web accelerators are available in the Hepsia CP and you shall be able to select how many instances of each and every one of them will run and the maximum amount of memory they may employ.
