A web accelerator is a software that speeds up a website, typically by caching its content. There are different sorts of accelerators, but in the common case such apps cache static content or database responses and provide them instead of the hosting server, thus enhancing the performance of a website considerably. The latter is achievable because accelerator programs work faster than a hosting server and not only will a website function better, but the server load shall also decrease, which will permit you to run heavy Internet sites with less system resources. We provide 3 web accelerators with our hosting packages, which will allow you to increase the speed of any sort of site. In comparison, most website hosting firms don't provide any web accelerators or offer only 1, which limits your choice of web applications in the event that you want to employ this kind of software.

Web Accelerators in Website Hosting

If you host your sites within a website hosting account from our company, you shall have three popular web accelerators to choose from if you'd like to improve the sites' performance. Memcached is used for database-driven Internet sites and it caches the calls and requests between an Internet site and its database, so it can decrease the load of such sites significantly. Varnish caches whole pages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them from there on if the same website visitor opens them again. It does that much faster than the server, so it can raise the loading speed of any website nearly 300%. Node.js is an object-oriented platform for real-time apps which functions on the hosting server and not within the visitor's web browser. It is used for holiday accommodation booking, chats and other apps where lots of data needs to be processed in real time. The availability of these accelerators depends on the hosting plan that you choose - they may come by default or as an upgrade. In each case, you shall be able to add more instances or more memory for every one of them.
