Varnish is a website accelerator platform, which caches information for quicker access. It is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy too and it interacts between a web server and a browser. When a visitor accesses a given webpage, its content is requested by the Internet browser, and then the web server processes this browser request and delivers the required data. If Varnish is activated for a certain website, it will cache its pages on the first request and in case the user opens a cached page for a second time, the info will be delivered by the caching platform instead of the server. The increased speed is a result of the considerably faster response speed that the Varnish platform offers as compared to any server software. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the visitors will continue seeing the very same content over and over again, as any change on any of the pages is reflected in the content that the Varnish platform caches in its system memory.

Varnish in Cloud Website Hosting

Varnish is available as an optional upgrade with each Linux cloud website hosting and if you wish to use it, you can add it to your 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 memory. The first one refers to the number of the websites that you wish to use Varnish for, whereas the second, which is offered in increments of 32 MB, indicates the total amount of data that the platform can cache at any given moment. Hepsia’s easy-to-work-with GUI will permit you to discontinue or to restart any instance, to check elaborate logs or to clear the platform’s cache with just a click. For maximum results, you can employ a dedicated IP address for the Internet sites that will use the platform. With Varnish, your site will open tremendously faster, meaning more pleased website users and potential customers.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting come with Varnish by default, so you can take advantage of the web accelerator tool and optimize the loading speed of any website that you host on our platform. You’ll get 64 megabytes of memory exclusively for Varnish at no additional fee and you can add an instance with no more than a couple of clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated server packages. If you need more memory, the latter is available in increments of 32 megabytes in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel and it will be at your disposal instantaneously. You can also order more instances as an upgrade, so you can decide whether a lot of content will be cached for a single website or whether the memory will be used by several sites. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to reboot or to delete any instance, to view the system log file associated with it or to delete the cached files using single-click controls. To take full advantage of Varnish, you can allocate a dedicated IP to the Internet sites that will employ it.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

We provide Varnish with all of the Hepsia-equipped VPS web hosting, so in case you order a server with this Control Panel, you’ll be able to make the most of the data caching platform at no extra fee. Varnish can use different amounts of memory for data caching purposes based on the very server configuration that you have picked during the VPS order process, but nevertheless, this amount won’t be less than several hundred megabytes. This is quite enough to improve the performance of several different traffic-heavy sites, so the better site load speeds and the reduced load on your virtual machine will be discernible. The result may not be detectable momentarily, since Varnish will need some time to cache the website content that visitors access, but soon after you set it up, you will feel its full capacity. This platform will permit you to use a less powerful server and to give less money to get the very same performance you’d get with a higher-end machine without Varnish.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can use Varnish to accelerate the load speed of any site that’s hosted on a dedicated server from our company if the Hepsia Control Panel is installed on it. Not only will you get the caching platform ready for use at no extra charge, but you’ll also exert full control over it through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate interface. It’ll take just one single mouse click to start or deactivate an instance or to delete the cache for any website that’s using Varnish and if you’re more proficient, you can also view the platform’s system logs. Varnish comes with at least 3 gigabytes of virtual memory for content caching purposes, so even if you host many websites on your server and they all use the caching platform, the improvement in their performance will be noticeable. You’ll just have to wait for a while until Varnish caches whatever pages the website visitors load on their end. The platform works best if the sites use a dedicated IP address, but due to the fact that our servers include 3 cost-free IP addresses, you will have everything you need.
