Varnish is a web accelerator tool, which has been gaining a lot of popularity lately, because it can increase the speed of any site, sometimes even by one hundred percent, based on the content itself. This tool is sometimes referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy as well and is used to reduce the overall load on the physical server and to enhance the browsing speed for the website visitors. Each time a visitor loads a page on a specific website, the web browser request is handled by the web server and the requested data is delivered as a response. If the Varnish accelerator is enabled, it caches the web pages that the site visitor opens and if any of them is loaded for a second time, it’s delivered by Varnish and not by the web server directly. The performance improvement is due to the fact that the accelerator handles the web requests significantly quicker than any web server, which results in much faster browsing speeds for the website visitors. If any content is edited meanwhile, the cached web pages will also be ‘refreshed’ the next time somebody accesses them.

Varnish in Shared Website Hosting

Varnish is offered as an optional upgrade with each and every shared website hosting service and if you wish to use it, you can add it to your shared web hosting account through 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 depends on the number of the websites that you wish to employ 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 time. The Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-use GUI will allow you to stop or to restart any instance, to check exhaustive logs or to get rid of the platform’s cache with just a click. For optimal results, you can employ a dedicated IP address for the Internet sites that will use the platform. With Varnish, your website will load tremendously faster, meaning more happy visitors and prospective customers.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Varnish is a feature, which comes as standard with all Linux semi-dedicated services that we’re offering 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 use it with any website that you host in the semi-dedicated server account. In case you’re in need of more, you can increase the memory quota. The memory itself is available in increments of 32 MB in the Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The exact same Upgrades section will permit you to create more instances as well, if you want to use Varnish with more sites. The two upgrades can be ordered independently – you can cache the content of a single large-scale Internet site or use several websites with the default memory allocation. You can take full advantage of the Varnish platform in case you use a dedicated IP address and you can get one with your semi-dedicated plan as well. The Hepsia Control Panel will grant you full control over the caching platform and, with no more than one single click of the mouse, you’ll be able to clear the cached content, to view a system log file or to reboot an instance.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

The Varnish platform comes by default with each of the Linux VPS web hosting offered by us as long as the virtual server is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you can enhance the overall performance of your sites with only a few clicks. The more powerful the package, the more system memory Varnish will have at its disposal, but even with a lower-end package, the caching platform will be able to utilize several hundred megabytes, so even if you run several sites, you will notice an immense reduction in the overall server load and a much better website load speed. The Varnish platform will have to work for a while while the visitors browse the site and once the website content has been cached, you’ll perceive the result. One of the pluses of using Varnish is that a less powerful and less high-priced Virtual Private Server plan will accomplish the exact same job as a more expensive one without the platform, so not only will your websites work better, but you will also spare some money.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you want the most powerful web hosting solution and you acquire any of the Linux dedicated hosting services offered by us, you can use the Varnish caching platform to optimize the work of your sites at no extra fee on the condition that the dedicated machine is ordered with our next-generation Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Its easy-to-navigate GUI will enable you to monitor platform processes, to delete the cached data or to reboot any instance with one single mouse click. The minimal amount of system memory that the Varnish platform can employ to cache site content is three gigabytes, which is more than enough for a vast collection of traffic-intensive Internet sites, so your dedicated server will be able to handle a substantial system load while your site visitors are enjoying a seamless web browsing experience. Since your dedicated server will come with several dedicated IPs, you will be able to make use of Varnish’s maximum potential.
