A web accelerator is a server-side application which speeds up a website. Such a piece of software can function in different ways depending on the website content, but in the general situation all such apps cache content and deliver it instead of the server. That's valid for both dynamic and static Internet sites since the cached content may be simple text or database responses and the advantage of employing a web accelerator is not simply the faster loading Internet site, but also the lessened overall load on the server. That way, you may use a lower-end hosting solution that will also cost less while your site visitors can still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Handful of businesses supply web accelerators with their hosting packages and they typically offer only 1, while we offer three different ones that will permit you to improve the performance of any type of Internet site considerably.

Web Accelerators in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting solutions come with three web accelerators which you will be able to employ depending on the Internet sites which you would like to run. Memcached is employed to cache database or API calls and responses, which could greatly improve the efficiency of dynamic websites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches web pages and provides them to the site visitors much faster than the hosting server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform employed for scalable real-time apps including booking websites. Depending on the web hosting plan you choose, these 3 apps could already be included or might be optional upgrades. In either case, you'll be able to pick how many instances of every one of them shall be at your disposal and what amount of memory they ought to use. These accelerators are offered only by a handful of web hosting companies, including ours, and they can raise the speed of your web apps significantly.

Web Accelerators in Dedicated Hosting

In case you obtain a dedicated server from us and you select Hepsia as the hosting CP, you will be able to employ Node.js, Memcached and Varnish for your sites. All packages feature several gigabytes of memory dedicated to those accelerators and the specific amount depends on the package deal that you choose. Node.js is used for scalable online programs like browser games or hotel booking and it processes the data instantly as the client enters it, which makes it much quicker than comparable platforms. Memcached caches database and API responses, so if you use it for a script-driven website, not only will the website work faster, but also the load on the hosting server will minimize because there shall be fewer database queries to be processed. Varnish also caches content, but it isn't limited to databases. Rather, it caches whole webpages once a website visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the hosting server every time the same visitor opens them later on. Since Varnish processes web requests considerably faster than any web server, the overall performance of a website using this accelerator could increase up to 300%.
