Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally called a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web app accelerator that can improve the load speed of a website by up to 1000 percent, based on the content itself. Anytime 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 accesses it again. In this way, the browser request from the visitor is not processed by the web server and the page will load tremendously faster, since the Varnish platform can serve data many times faster than any server software. The end result will be a much faster loading site, which leads to an enormously improved website browsing experience. In case any of the cached pages is updated on the live site, the info that Varnish saves in its memory is ‘refreshed’ too, so the users will never end up seeing old info.

Varnish in Shared Hosting

Varnish comes as an optional upgrade with all our Linux shared hosting. You can add it to your hosting account via the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting packages and you will get a very simple-to-use graphical interface, which will grant you complete control over the caching platform. Using 1-click fast-access controls, you can restart or disable any of the instances, i.e. Varnish will no longer be enabled for a certain site. You can also view a comprehensive log or erase the cache for any of the Internet sites. When you add Varnish to your shared web hosting plan, you will be able to select the total amount of system memory that will be available to you for data caching purposes and the number of the sites that will use Varnish. You can always get more memory in increments of 32 MB and, for top performance, you can set a dedicated IP for the sites that will use Varnish. This will enable you to get the most out of your sites and to have numerous gratified site users.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Varnish is a feature, which is included by default with all semi-dedicated hosting offered by us and you can use it for workload distribution purposes. It’s available in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The data caching platform comes with 64 megabytes of system memory for cached content storing purposes and you can employ it with any Internet site that you host in your semi-dedicated account. If you’re in need of more, you can increase the memory quota. The memory itself is available in increments of 32 megabytes in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. The very same section will allow you to activate more instances too, if you wish to use the Varnish platform with more Internet sites. The two upgrades can be added separately – you can cache the content of one single large Internet site or run several websites with the default memory. You can take full advantage of the Varnish caching platform if you have a dedicated IP and you can get one with your semi-dedicated plan as well. The Hepsia Control Panel will grant you full control over the platform and, with no more than a click, you’ll be able to delete the cache, to check a system log file or to restart an instance.

Varnish in VPS

We provide Varnish with all of the Hepsia-equipped Linux VPS, so if you order a server with this Control Panel, you’ll be able to take full advantage of the content caching platform at no additional fee. Varnish can utilize different amounts of memory for data caching purposes depending on the very plan that you’ve picked during the subscription process, but at any rate, this amount will not be less than several hundred MB. This is quite enough to enhance the work of a number of resource-intensive Internet sites, so the faster page loading speeds and the reduced load on the VPS will be discernible. The effect may not be apparent right away, since Varnish will require some time to cache the content that users open, but shortly after you set it up, you will observe its full capacity. This platform will allow you to use a less powerful VPS server and to pay less cash to get the exact same performance you’d get with a more powerful virtual machine without Varnish.

Varnish in Dedicated Hosting

If you want the most powerful web hosting solution and you order any of the Linux dedicated hosting that we are offering, you’ll be able to use the Varnish content caching platform to improve the performance of your websites at no extra charge as long as the dedicated machine is ordered with our next-generation Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Its user-friendly graphical interface will enable you to keep track of platform processes, to delete the cached files or to restart any instance with one single click of the mouse. The minimal amount of memory that Varnish can use to cache site content is three gigabytes, which is more than enough for a vast selection of resource-requiring sites, so your dedicated server will be able to deal with an immense load while your site visitors are enjoying a seamless web browsing experience. Since your server will include several dedicated IP addresses, you will be able to make use of Varnish’s maximum potential.
