Varnish is a content caching platform, which is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web accelerator tool that can increase the load speed of a site by up to one thousand percent, depending on the content itself. Anytime a visitor opens any page on a site that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server when the visitor opens it again. In this way, the browser request from the visitor is not handled by the server and the web page will open significantly faster, as the Varnish platform can serve data many times faster than any server software. The end result will be a significantly faster loading page, which means an immensely improved browsing experience. When any of the cached webpages is updated on the actual Internet site, the content that Varnish keeps in its system memory is ‘refreshed’ too, so the visitors will not see out-of-date data.

Varnish in Web Hosting

You can use Varnish’s potential and boost the load speed of your websites irrespective of the web hosting plan that you’ve chosen and you can enable and configure the data caching platform with several clicks of the mouse from the simple-to-use graphical interface offered by our next-generation Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you’ll be able to select two separate things – how many sites will use Varnish, in other words – the number of instances, and how much info will be cached, i.e. the amount of system memory. The latter comes in increments of 32 megabytes and is not tied to the number of instances, so you can order more instances and less memory and vice versa. In case you have plenty of content on a certain website and you gain lots of site visitors, more memory will guarantee you a better result. You may also consider employing a dedicated IP address for the sites that will use the Varnish caching platform. Hepsia will offer you simple one-click controls for removing or rebooting any instance, for erasing the cache associated with any site and for seeing in-depth logs.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The semi-dedicated services that we offer will allow you to employ Varnish as soon as your brand new account has been set up, since the platform is available by default. 64 megabytes of system memory will be assigned to Varnish the second your account is activated, so you can use this load distribution software once your site has been published to the web. In case you’re in need of more system memory, you can get 32 MB at a time from the Upgrades section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it will be allocated to your semi-dedicated server right away. You can also increase the number of the Internet sites that use Varnish, or the so-called ‘instances’, which are not directly linked to the amount of memory that you use, which means that you will enjoy more freedom. The Varnish platform will enormously decrease the load on the semi-dedicated machine that your sites generate, so your website visitors can enjoy fast-loading pages. You’ll be able to manage Varnish effortlessly from the Hepsia Control Panel using quick-access controls. You’ll be able to start/stop any of the instances that you’ve got, to clear the cached data associated with any of your sites or to view system log files.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

You can take advantage of Varnish with each of our virtual private server plans at no extra charge, since the content caching platform is pre-installed and is available by default. The sole precondition is that the virtual machine must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you will be able to activate Varnish for any of your sites with only a few mouse clicks. Each package includes a different amount of memory for caching purposes, but you’ll get minimum several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for several regularly visited websites. Shortly after you activate Varnish, it’ll begin caching the content that your website visitors browse, so you will notice the substantially faster webpage load speeds and the decreased load on your server in no time. Varnish will permit you to use a less pricey server, since you will not require that many resources to guarantee the uninterrupted operation of your Internet sites even if you manage large-sized Internet sites with a lot of visitors. Optimal results are achieved if the websites that use the Varnish caching platform use also a dedicated IP.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you need the most powerful website hosting solution and you obtain one of the Linux dedicated hosting services that we are offering, you can use the Varnish data caching platform to optimize the performance of your sites at no additional fee on the condition that the dedicated machine is ordered with our innovative Hepsia Control Panel. Its easy-to-navigate interface will permit you to keep an eye on system processes, to delete the cached files or to restart any instance with one click. The minimal amount of system memory that the platform can use to cache website content is 3 gigabytes, which is more than enough for an enormous selection of resource-consuming Internet sites, so your server will be able to deal with a substantial system load while your website visitors are enjoying a smooth browsing experience. Since your dedicated server will include several different dedicated IPs, you’ll be able to use Varnish’s maximum potential.
