A web accelerator is a server-side application that speeds up a website. Such a piece of software may work in different ways based on the site content, but in the typical case all such programs cache content and deliver it instead of the server. That is valid for both static and dynamic websites since the cached content could be simple text or database responses and the benefit of employing a web accelerator isn't simply the faster loading site, but also the smaller overall load on the hosting server. That way, you'll be able to employ a lower-end hosting package that will also cost less while your site visitors can still enjoy superior browsing speeds. Few service providers provide web accelerators with their hosting packages and they frequently offer just one, while we offer three different ones which will permit you to improve the performance of any type of site substantially.

Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting solutions feature three web accelerators that you can employ depending on the Internet sites which you'd like to run. Memcached is employed to cache database or API calls and responses, which could drastically improve the efficiency of dynamic sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator which caches webpages and delivers them to the website visitors much quicker than the server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform used for scalable real-time apps such as booking websites. Depending on the web hosting plan you choose, these 3 apps might already be included or might be optional upgrades. Either way, you shall be able to select how many instances of each one of them shall be at your disposal and what amount of memory they should employ. These accelerators are offered only by a few Internet hosting service providers, including ours, and they could boost the speed of your web programs substantially.
