A web accelerator is a server-side application that quickens an Internet site. Such a piece of software may function in different ways depending on the site content, but in the general case all such programs cache content and deliver it instead of the hosting server. That's valid for both static and dynamic sites because the cached content could be simple text or database responses and the benefit of using a web accelerator isn't just the faster loading site, but also the lessened overall load on the hosting server. That way, you can employ a lower-end hosting plan that'll also cost less while your visitors can still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Handful of firms supply web accelerators with their hosting packages and they usually offer only one, while we offer three different ones that'll allow you to improve the performance of any type of Internet site substantially.
Web Accelerators in Shared Web Hosting
When you host your sites within a shared web hosting account from our firm, you will have three popular web accelerators to pick from if you'd like to enhance the sites' functionality. Memcached is used for database-driven websites and it caches the calls and requests between a website and its database, so it can minimize the load of such websites significantly. Varnish caches entire webpages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same visitor opens them again. It does that considerably faster than the server, so it can easily boost the loading speed of any Internet site up to 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time programs that functions on the web server and not inside the visitor's world-wide web browser. It's employed for accommodation booking, chats and other apps where a lot of data needs to be processed in real time. The availability of the accelerators depends on the hosting plan which you select - they may come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you will be able to include more instances or more memory for each of them.
Web Accelerators in Dedicated Hosting
Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are available by default with all of our dedicated servers which are ordered with Hepsia as the hosting Control Panel. These three web accelerators offer several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you can use them to speed up any type of Internet site. Memcached can drastically reduce the load on the server if you have script-driven sites since it caches database responses, thus it decreases the amount of database queries that the web server has to tackle. Node.js will permit you to develop scalable applications with real-time user-server interaction like chats or dining booking sites. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it processes info the moment the user enters it, so all the data is managed swifter and in small bits. Varnish caches entire pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them each and every time the same website visitor opens them again, that makes it a universal accelerator for any kind of websites. As it works quicker than any web server, it can speed up a site at least several times and as a result, Varnish is amongst the most widely used web accelerators on the market.
