Varnish is a data caching platform, which is sometimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a web accelerator that can boost the load speed of a website by up to one thousand percent, depending on its content. 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 if the visitor loads it again. Thus, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the server and the web page will load tremendously faster, as the Varnish caching platform can serve information many times faster than any server software. The result is a substantially faster loading site, which leads to a greatly improved browsing experience. When any of the cached webpages is updated on the live website, the data that Varnish saves in its memory is updated as well, so the website visitors will not end up seeing out-of-date info.

Varnish in Cloud Hosting

Varnish is available as an optional upgrade with each of our cloud hosting plans. You can add it to your hosting account from the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting plans and you’ll get an exceptionally simple-to-work-with graphical interface, which will give you complete control over the content caching system. Using one-click fast-access buttons, you can restart or discontinue any of the instances, in other words – Varnish will no longer be activated for a specific Internet site. You can also view a comprehensive log file or delete the cache for any of the Internet sites. When you add Varnish to your hosting package, you will be able to select the maximum amount of memory that will be at your disposal for content caching purposes and the number of the sites that will use Varnish. You can always get more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and, for best performance, you can allocate a dedicated IP address to the sites that will use Varnish. This will enable you to get the most out of your websites and to have a lot of satisfied users.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Varnish data caching platform is part of the standard set of services that you’ll receive if you decide to host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account. You can activate it for any of your websites via our next-generation Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The default memory that the Varnish platform can use to cache content is 64 MB, but if you decide that you want more, you can upgrade this memory from the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. You can also upgrade the Varnish instances, in other words – the number of the Internet sites that can use this platform at the same time. Since these two features are not linked to each other, you can use a couple of sites with the default amount of memory or you can get more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and use all of it for a single website. The Varnish platform works best when you allocate a dedicated IP to the websites that utilize its power. Hepsia will offer you a simple way of restarting any instance. Furthermore, you’ll be able to delete the cached data with only one click.

Varnish in VPS Servers

You can take full advantage of the load balancing capabilities of Varnish with each of our VPS plans when you choose Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel. The Varnish data caching platform comes by default and the system memory that it will be able to utilize to cache your website content depends on the particular VPS package that you’ve picked, but even with the less powerful plans, you’ll have no less than several hundred megabytes of system memory at your disposal exclusively for caching purposes. This amount is sufficient enough to enhance the work of numerous Internet sites. It will take a little time for you to notice the results, as the Varnish platform caches the content that visitors browse, but shortly after that you’ll notice the substantially decreased load on the virtual server and the improved Internet site loading speed. The Varnish platform will allow you to use a lower-end Virtual Private Server plan for websites that would normally need a more pricey web hosting service.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

If you want the most powerful hosting solution and you order one of the dedicated web hosting plans offered by us, you can use the Varnish data caching platform to improve the performance of your Internet sites at no additional charge as long as the dedicated server is ordered with our leading-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Its intuitive interface will permit you to keep an eye on platform processes, to clear the cache or to reboot any instance with a click. The minimal amount of system memory that the caching platform can use to cache content is 3 GB, which is quite enough for an enormous selection of regularly visited websites, so your dedicated server will be able to handle a colossal system load while your Internet site visitors are having a seamless web browsing experience. Since your dedicated machine will come with several different dedicated IPs, you will be able to make use of Varnish’s full capacity.
