Varnish is a content caching platform, which is occasionally called an HTTP reverse proxy. It is a website accelerator tool that can improve the load speed of a website by up to 1000 percent, depending on the content itself. 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 when the visitor opens it again. Thus, the browser request from the visitor is not handled by the web server and the page will load considerably faster, as the Varnish platform can serve information many times faster than any server software. The result is a much faster loading page, which means an improved browsing experience. In case any of the cached pages is updated on the actual site, the data that Varnish stores in its system memory is ‘refreshed’ too, so the users won’t see old info.

Varnish in Cloud Web Hosting

You can make use of Varnish’s full potential and optimize your websites’ loading speed regardless of the cloud web hosting package that you’ve selected and you can activate and configure the content caching platform with a couple of mouse clicks from the user-friendly interface offered by our next-generation Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the procedure, you will be able to choose two separate things – how many Internet sites will employ the Varnish platform, i.e. the number of instances, and how much content will be cached, i.e. the amount of system memory. The latter comes in increments of 32 MB and is not linked to the number of instances, so you can order more instances with less memory and the other way around. In case you have plenty of content on a certain site and you attract lots of visitors, more system memory will guarantee you a better result. You may also consider using a dedicated IP address for the websites that will use the Varnish caching platform. The Hepsia Control Panel will offer you easy 1-click buttons for deleting or rebooting any instance, for erasing the cache associated with each site and for viewing in-depth system logs.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated packages include Varnish by default, so you can take advantage of the web application accelerator tool and accelerate the speed of any website that you host on our platform. You will get 64 megabytes of memory dedicated to Varnish at no additional charge and you’ll be able to add an instance with no more than a few clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with the semi-dedicated server packages. In case you want more memory, the latter is offered in increments of 32 MB through the Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be at your disposal right away. You can also order more instances as an upgrade, so you can choose whether plenty of content will be cached for one site or whether the memory will be utilized by several websites. Hepsia will permit you to restart or to delete any instance, to see the system log for it or to delete the cached files using one-click buttons. To get the most out of the Varnish accelerator, you can allocate a dedicated IP address to the websites which will use it.

Varnish in VPS Hosting

We provide Varnish with all of the Hepsia-managed Linux VPS hosting packages, so in case you purchase a server with this hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to use the data caching platform at no additional fee. Varnish can utilize different amounts of memory for data caching purposes based on the particular setup that you have chosen during the VPS order process, but in any case, this amount will not be less than several hundred MB. This is quite enough to optimize the overall performance of a number of resource-intensive Internet sites, so the better web page load speeds and the decreased load on your virtual machine will be discernible. The effect may not be obvious straight away, since the Varnish platform will need a certain amount of time to cache the site content that people access, but soon after you enable it, you’ll feel its full capacity. This platform will allow you to use a lower-end server and to give less money to get the same performance you would get with a higher-end machine without Varnish.

Varnish in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you need the most powerful web hosting solution and you order any of the dedicated web hosting that we offer, you can use the Varnish content caching platform to boost the performance of your sites at no additional cost on the condition that the dedicated machine is ordered with our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Its easy-to-use GUI will enable you to monitor system processes, to delete the cached contents or to reboot any instance with one single click of the mouse. The smallest amount of memory that the Varnish caching platform can employ to cache Internet site content is three gigabytes, which is quite enough for a huge number of resource-intensive websites, so your dedicated server will be able to handle a tremendous load while your website visitors are having a seamless browsing experience. Since your server will include a number of dedicated IP addresses, you’ll be able to make use of Varnish’s full potential.
