Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web app accelerator tool that can boost the load speed of a site by up to 1000 percent, depending 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 in case the visitor accesses it again. Thus, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the web server and the page will open much faster, since Varnish can deliver information many times faster than any server software. The end result will be a much faster loading site, which means an enormously improved website browsing experience. If any of the cached web pages is updated on the actual site, the information that Varnish caches in its system memory is updated as well, so the visitors will not see out-of-date data.

Varnish in Shared Hosting

You can unlock Varnish’s potential and improve your websites’ speed regardless of the shared hosting package that you have picked and you can add and configure the data caching platform with a few mouse clicks from the user-friendly interface offered by our innovative Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you will be able to select two separate things – how many sites will employ the Varnish platform, in other words – the number of instances, and how much information will be cached, in other words – the amount of memory. The latter is available in increments of 32 megabytes and is not linked to the number of instances, so you can add more instances and less memory and the other way around. If you’ve got a lot of content on a given website and you win lots of site visitors, more memory will give you a better result. You may also consider using a dedicated IP address for the sites that will use the Varnish platform. Hepsia will offer you simple 1-click controls for deleting or rebooting any instance, for erasing the cache for each site and for viewing exhaustive logs.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Varnish data caching platform is included in the default service set that you’ll obtain in case you decide to host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account. You can activate it for any of your sites through our advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The default memory that Varnish can use to cache content is 64 MB, but in case you decide that you want more, you can upgrade this amount from the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. You can also upgrade the Varnish instances, i.e. the number of the sites that can use this platform simultaneously. Since these two things aren’t tied to each other, you can use several websites with the default amount of memory or you can order more memory in increments of 32 MB and use all of it for a single Internet site. The Varnish caching platform works best if you allocate a dedicated IP address to the websites that utilize its power. Hepsia will provide you with an easy way of rebooting any instance. Also, you’ll be able to delete the cached files with just a click.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

We provide Varnish with all Hepsia-equipped VPS web hosting packages, so in case you obtain a server with this Control Panel, you’ll be able to make use of the caching platform at no extra cost. The Varnish platform can utilize different amounts of system memory for data caching purposes depending on the very setup that you have picked during the registration process, but nevertheless, this amount won’t be less than several hundred megabytes. This is more than enough to boost the overall performance of a number of traffic-heavy sites, so the better page loading speeds and the reduced load on the Virtual Private Server will be perceivable. The effect may not be obvious straight away, since Varnish will need some time to cache the website content that visitors open, but shortly after you enable it, you’ll witness its full capacity. This caching platform will permit you to use a less powerful Virtual Private Server and to give less money to get the very same performance you would get with a more powerful virtual machine without Varnish.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

All dedicated servers hosting which are ordered with the in-house developed Hepsia website hosting Control Panel feature Varnish, which is among the pre-installed software platforms that you will get with the dedicated server. The Varnish caching platform can be set up and managed without efforts through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-use graphical interface and, with no more than one click, you can see a detailed system log, create or reboot an instance, delete the cached data associated with any Internet site and much, much more. Shortly after you set up the Varnish platform for a given domain or subdomain, it will begin caching the web pages requested by the website visitors and once it has cached enough web content, you will perceive a considerably faster website performance plus a decreased load on the dedicated machine. With Varnish-dedicated system memory starting at 3 GB, you will be able to use the software platform for load distribution purposes even if you run lots of Internet sites on your dedicated machine.
