Web Accelerators
What precisely do web accelerators do? What could you do to be able to increase your site's loading speed?
A web accelerator is an application which accelerates a site, usually by caching its content. There are different sorts of accelerators, but in the general case this kind of programs cache static content or database responses and deliver them in place of the hosting server, hence boosting the performance of an Internet site drastically. The latter is possible because accelerator apps work faster than a hosting server and not simply will a website work better, but the server load will also decrease, which will enable you to run heavy Internet sites with less resources. We provide three web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will enable you to speed up any type of site. In comparison, most website hosting service providers don't offer any web accelerators or offer only 1, which limits your choice of web applications if you'd like to use such software.

Web Accelerators in Shared Web Hosting
In case you host your sites inside a shared web hosting account from us, you will have 3 popular web accelerators to choose from if you'd like to boost the sites' efficiency. Memcached is used for database-driven Internet sites and it caches the calls and requests between a site and its database, so it can minimize the load of such sites significantly. Varnish caches whole pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same website visitor opens them again. It does that considerably faster than the web server, so it can increase the loading speed of any website nearly 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time applications which functions on the server and not inside the visitor's browser. It is used for accommodation booking, chats and other apps where lots of data should be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends upon the hosting solution that you select - they might come by default or as an upgrade. In both cases, you'll be able to add more instances or more memory for each of them.
- Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel that is included with our semi-dedicated hosting solutions shall enable you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. Memcached is among the most famous accelerators because it can accelerate any API or database-driven site by caching requests and responses, consequently the server will not have to process identical requests time after time. The platform is ideal for sites designed with applications like Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is a highly effective accelerator that caches any kind of content and is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches web pages which are opened by a visitor for the first time and delivers them every time that same visitor opens them again. Varnish can easily speed up a website several times simply because it delivers content faster than any web server. Node.js is a platform employed for scalable real-time applications such as chats, browser games or social networks. It processes info in smaller parts as soon as a user enters something, as a result it operates considerably faster than similar platforms in which users submit large portions of info which require time to be processed. You'll be able to pick the number of instances and the dedicated memory for each and every one of the 3 accelerators via your Control Panel.- Web Accelerators in VPS Hosting
In the event that you obtain a virtual private server with the Hepsia CP, you will be able to employ Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. All 3 accelerators are included within our plans by default and offer dedicated memory of a few hundred megabytes. Node.js is used to build scalable programs where real-time interaction is needed - booking websites, online games, chats, etc. It processes the info in little bits as the user is entering it, as a result it works much faster than other platforms which wait for the end users to input one big piece of info. Varnish is a general-purpose accelerator which works as an HTTP proxy. It caches content and delivers it if the same site visitor opens the same website again, which can certainly speed any site several times due to the fact that Varnish operates more quickly than any web server. Memcached is employed for caching API and database responses, therefore it's ideal for script-driven websites like WordPress and Joomla™. This web accelerator can lessen the load on your hosting server as it shall reduced the amount of database queries that your Internet sites make.- Web Accelerators in Dedicated Web Hosting
Memcached, Varnish and Node.js are provided with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and based on the plan you opt for, you'll also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached will reduce the server load by lowering the number of queries which have to be handled as it caches database calls and responses. You'll be able to use it on any Internet site which uses an API or a database - as an example, any site created with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can easily improve the performance of any sort of Internet site by caching whole webpages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator delivers the web pages if the exact same visitor opens them later on and since it does that considerably faster than the hosting server, the website visitor will be able to surf your website at least a couple of times faster. This is why Varnish is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is an advanced platform which will enable you to develop booking websites, web chats and other apps where real-time server-user interaction is necessary. It processes the data in little bits as the client fills different boxes and does not wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one sizeable piece of information, which makes Node.js way quicker than similar apps. - Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated Hosting
