Varnish is a website accelerator platform, which caches data for quicker response times. It’s sometimes referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy too and it works between a web server and its users. When a site visitor loads a particular web page, the content is requested by the web browser, and then the server handles this request and returns the requested information. If Varnish is activated for a particular website, it will cache its pages at the first visit and if the user accesses a cached page again, the info will be delivered by the caching platform and not by the server. The boosted speed is an end result of the substantially faster response time that the Varnish platform offers compared with any web server software. At the same time, this does not mean that the website visitors will keep being served the very same content over and over again, because any modification on any of the pages is reflected in the content that the Varnish platform caches in its memory.

Varnish in Shared Hosting

Our company offers Varnish as an optional upgrade with each Linux shared hosting and if you’d like to use it, you can add it to your shared website hosting account via the Upgrades section in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. There are two different things that can be upgraded – the instances and the system memory. The first one depends on the number of the sites that you want to use Varnish for, whereas the second, which is offered in increments of 32 megabytes, pertains to the maximum amount of content that the platform can cache at any given moment. The Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly GUI will enable you to disable or to reboot any instance, to check in-depth system logs or to erase the platform’s cache with just click of the mouse. For best results, you can employ a dedicated IP address for the websites that will use the caching platform. With Varnish, your Internet site will load significantly faster, meaning more pleased website users and prospective customers.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Varnish is a feature, which comes as standard with all Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we’re offering and you can use it for workload distribution purposes. It’s available in your Hepsia Control Panel. The Varnish platform comes with 64 MB of system memory for cached data storing purposes and you can employ it with any site that you host in the semi-dedicated server account. In case you need more, you can increase the memory quota. The memory itself is offered in increments of 32 megabytes through the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. The same section will enable you to activate more instances as well, in case you wish to use the Varnish platform with more websites. The two upgrades can be ordered separately – you can cache the content of a single traffic-heavy Internet site or use several different sites with the default memory quota. You can get the most out of the Varnish caching platform if you use a dedicated IP address and you can order one with your semi-dedicated server package as well. Hepsia will grant you total control over the platform and, with no more than one single mouse click, you will be able to clear the cached data, to check a log file or to reboot an instance.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

Varnish comes by default with all VPS web hosting packages offered by us as long as the Virtual Private Server is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you can improve the performance of your sites with only a couple of clicks. The more powerful the plan, the more system memory will be available to Varnish, but even with a lower-end plan, the platform will be able to utilize several hundred megabytes, so even if you have several different websites, you will notice a significant reduction in the server load and a substantially better site load speed. The Varnish platform will have to work for a little while while the users browse the web pages and as soon as the site content has been cached, you will distinguish the effect. One of the advantages of employing Varnish is that a less powerful and less high-priced Virtual Private Server plan will accomplish the exact same job as a more pricey one without the caching platform, so not only will your sites perform much better, but you’ll also spare a certain amount of money.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you need a powerful web hosting solution and you order one of the dedicated servers hosting packages that we are offering, you will be able to use the Varnish caching platform to boost the overall performance of your Internet sites at no extra fee on the condition that 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 system processes, to delete the cached content or to reboot any instance with one single click of the mouse. The minimum amount of system memory that the caching platform can use to cache content is three gigabytes, which is quite enough for a vast collection of large-scale Internet sites, so your dedicated server will be able to cope with a colossal load while your site visitors are enjoying a seamless web browsing experience. Since your dedicated machine will come with a number of dedicated IP addresses, you will be able to make use of Varnish’s maximum potential.
