Varnish is a content caching platform, which is occasionally referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a web accelerator that can accelerate the speed of a site by up to 1000 percent, depending on its content. Each time a visitor opens any page on a website that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server in case the visitor loads it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the server and the web page will open significantly faster, since Varnish can deliver data many times faster than any server software. The result is a much faster loading website, which leads to a greatly improved browsing experience. When any of the cached webpages is updated on the actual site, the info that Varnish caches in its system memory is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the website visitors won’t end up seeing out-of-date information.

Varnish in Cloud Website Hosting

You can unleash Varnish’s full potential and enhance the speed of your sites irrespective of the cloud website hosting package that you have selected and you can enable and configure the platform with a few clicks of the mouse via the easy-to-work-with GUI offered by our avant-garde Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the procedure, you’ll be able to choose two separate things – how many websites will use Varnish, i.e. the number of instances, and how much information will be cached, i.e. the amount of memory. The latter comes in increments of 32 MB and is not tied to the number of instances, so you can use more instances with less memory and vice versa. If you’ve got plenty of content on a particular Internet site and you receive plenty of website visitors, more memory will give you better results. You may also consider using a dedicated IP for the websites that will use the Varnish platform. The Hepsia Control Panel will offer you easy 1-click buttons for shutting down or rebooting any instance, for clearing the cache associated with each site and for checking exhaustive system logs.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

Varnish is a feature, which comes by default with all semi-dedicated hosting plans that we are offering and you can use it for load distribution purposes. It’s available in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The Varnish platform comes with 64 megabytes of system memory for cached data storing purposes and you can use it with any site that you host in the semi-dedicated server account. In case you are in need of more than that, you can increase the system memory quota. The memory itself is offered in increments of 32 megabytes in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. The same Upgrades section will enable you to create more instances too, in case you’d like to use the Varnish platform with more sites. The two things can be added separately – you can cache the content of one single traffic-hungry website or use several Internet sites with the default memory allocation. You can take full advantage of the Varnish platform in case you’ve got a dedicated IP address and you can get one with your semi-dedicated package as well. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you complete control over the caching platform and, with no more than one click of the mouse, you’ll be able to delete the cached data, to check a system log or to reboot an instance.

Varnish in VPS Servers

The Varnish caching platform is included by default with each of the VPS plans that we’re offering on the condition that the VPS is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you can enhance the performance of your websites with just a few mouse clicks. The more powerful the plan, the more system memory will be available to Varnish, but even with a less powerful package, the caching platform will be able to utilize several hundred MB, so even if you own several different websites, you will notice a substantial decrease in the server load and a much faster webpage load speed. The Varnish caching platform will have to work for a while while the users navigate the website and once the content has been cached, you will notice the effects. One of the pros of using Varnish is that a lower-end and less expensive VPS plan will do the same job as a more expensive one without the platform, so not only will your Internet sites work significantly better, but you will also spare some cash.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

When you need a powerful website hosting solution and you order one of the dedicated web hosting plans that we’re offering, you’ll be able to use Varnish to enhance the performance of your Internet sites at no additional charge as long as the dedicated server is ordered with our next-generation Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Its easy-to-navigate graphical interface will permit you to keep track of platform processes, to clear the cache or to restart any instance with one click. The smallest amount of memory that the platform can employ to cache website content is 3 gigabytes, which is more than enough for an immense number of resource-demanding Internet sites, so your server will be able to handle a tremendous load while your Internet site visitors are having a seamless browsing experience. Since your dedicated server will include a number of dedicated IP addresses, you’ll be able to make use of Varnish’s maximum capacity.
