Varnish is a content caching platform, which is occasionally called a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a website accelerator that can accelerate the load speed of a website by up to 1000%, based on the content itself. Each time a visitor accesses any page on a website that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server if the visitor accesses it again. In this way, the browser request from the visitor is not handled by the web server and the page will load much faster, as the Varnish caching platform can deliver information many times faster than any web server software. The result will be a substantially faster loading page, which leads to an enormously improved browsing experience. When any of the cached pages is updated on the actual Internet site, the information that Varnish keeps in its memory is ‘refreshed’ too, so the site visitors will never see out-of-date information.

Varnish in Cloud Web Hosting

You can take advantage of Varnish’s potential and boost your sites’ loading speed irrespective of the cloud web hosting plan that you have chosen and you can activate and set up the data caching platform with several mouse clicks through the simple-to-work-with GUI offered by our next-gen Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you will be able to select two different things – how many websites will employ Varnish, in other words – the number of instances, and how much info will be cached, in other words – the amount of memory. The latter is available in increments of 32 megabytes and is not bound to the number of instances, so you can order more instances and less memory and the other way around. If you have plenty of content on a specific Internet site and you get lots of visitors, more system memory will give you a better result. You may also consider using a dedicated IP for the Internet sites that will use the Varnish caching platform. Hepsia will offer you simple one-click buttons for switching off or restarting any instance, for deleting the cache for any Internet site and for seeing elaborate system logs.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The semi-dedicated hosting that we’re offering will permit you to employ Varnish once your brand-new semi-dedicated account has been opened, since the content caching platform is available by default. 64 MB of system memory will be allocated to Varnish the second your account is activated, so you can use this load distribution software once your site has been published on the Internet. If you’re in need of more system memory, you can order 32 MB at a time from the Upgrades section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it will be allocated to your semi-dedicated machine instantly. You can also increase the number of the sites that use Varnish, or the so-called ‘instances’, which are not directly bound to the amount of system memory that you use, which means that you’ll have more versatility. The Varnish platform will substantially decrease the server load generated by your websites, so your site visitors can enjoy fast-loading pages. You’ll be able to manage the Varnish platform effortlessly from your 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 files for any of your Internet sites or to view system log files.

Varnish in VPS

The Varnish content caching platform is included by default with all Linux VPS offered by our company as long as the server is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you can improve the overall performance of your websites with just a couple of clicks. The more powerful the package, the more memory Varnish will have at its disposal, but even with a less powerful plan, the caching platform will be able to utilize several hundred megabytes, so even if you have a handful of Internet sites, you’ll notice an immense decrease in the overall server load and a considerably better webpage loading speed. The Varnish platform will have to work for a while while the visitors navigate the pages and once the site content has been cached, you will see the effect. One of the benefits of using Varnish is that a lower-end and less costly plan will accomplish the very same job as a more pricey one without the platform, so not only will your websites perform better, but you will also save some cash.

Varnish in Dedicated Hosting

If you want a more powerful hosting solution and you get any of the dedicated hosting services that we are offering, you’ll be able to use Varnish to improve the performance of your websites at no additional cost as long as the server is ordered with our next-gen Hepsia Control Panel. Its intuitive interface will allow you to keep track of system processes, to clear the cached data or to reboot any instance with one single mouse click. The minimal amount of system memory that Varnish can employ to cache content is 3 gigabytes, which is quite enough for a huge number of large websites, so your dedicated server will be able to handle a massive load while your website visitors are enjoying a seamless browsing experience. Since your dedicated machine will come with several dedicated IPs, you’ll be able to make use of Varnish’s full capacity.
