A web accelerator is a software program which speeds up an Internet site usually by caching content and providing it instead of the server. Such programs 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 using a web accelerator is that a given site shall perform noticeably faster without using more system resources. On the contrary, this type of a site will demand much less resources to function as the web accelerator will tackle most requests rather than the hosting server. In contrast to many businesses that do not offer web accelerators with their plans or offer just one, we offer 3 different ones that will permit you to speed up your sites regardless of their type or content.
Web Accelerators in Cloud Website Hosting
We offer 3 of the most well-known web accelerators along with our cloud website hosting services and based on what plan you shall pick when you sign up, they could already be available or they may be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most popular one of them and it may be employed for any sort of site. It caches the web pages the first time a website visitor opens them and delivers them at a faster speed compared to the web server each time that a website visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it can easily increase the speed of dynamic websites such as online stores, community forums or social networks. Node.js is used for scalable web apps and it functions in real-time, which makes it suitable for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, and so forth. You'll be able to select how much memory these accelerators will employ and how many instances of each will run from your Hepsia Internet hosting Control Panel.
Web Accelerators in VPS Servers
All VPS servers which are integrated with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you'll get several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, which is also referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches webpages the first time a guest opens them and provides them if that guest opens them again, therefore the web server won't have to perform any action. Because Varnish functions much faster than any hosting server, a site using this accelerator will operate several times swifter. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it is used for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven programs which store their content within a database. Node.js is a highly effective platform for creating scalable web applications. Any information on a site that uses Node.js is processed instantly, making it a superb choice for dining and accommodation booking Internet sites, web-based chats, web browser games, and so on.
