A web accelerator is a software application that speeds up a website generally by caching content and providing it instead of the hosting server. Such applications can be used for both static and dynamic sites as there are a variety of accelerators that can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The benefit of using a web accelerator is that a given site shall perform noticeably faster without using additional system resources. Quite the opposite, this kind of a website will require significantly less resources to operate as the web accelerator will handle most requests rather than the server. Contrary to many firms which do not offer web accelerators with their solutions or offer just one, we offer 3 different ones which will permit you to speed up your Internet sites whatever their kind or content.
Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia CP that is provided with our semi-dedicated server plans shall permit you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your Internet sites. Memcached is among the most well known accelerators because it can effortlessly increase the speed of any API or database-driven site by caching requests and responses, therefore the hosting server will not have to process identical requests time and time again. The platform is suitable for Internet sites created with apps like Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is a powerful accelerator which caches any type of content and is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches webpages which are opened by a visitor for the first time and provides them each and every time that very same guest opens them again. Varnish can accelerate a website several times as it delivers content faster than any server. Node.js is a platform used for scalable real-time applications such as chats, web browser games or social networks. It processes info in small parts the instant a user types anything, therefore it operates faster than similar platforms in which users submit sizeable parts of information which require time to be processed. You can pick the number of instances and the dedicated memory for each of the three accelerators using your CP.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Servers
In case you acquire a dedicated server from our firm and you choose Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to employ Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your Internet sites. All plans feature several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the exact amount depends on the package you select. Node.js is used for scalable online apps like browser games or hotel booking and it processes the data instantly as the user enters it, which makes it faster than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you employ it for a script-driven website, not simply will the website speed up, but also the load on the server will minimize as there will be considerably less database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it is not limited to databases. Rather, it caches whole web pages once a website visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the web server whenever the same visitor opens them later on. Due to the fact that Varnish processes web requests much quicker than any web server, the efficiency of a website using this accelerator can increase up to 300%.
