Varnish is a web application accelerator platform, which caches information for the sake of faster access. It’s sometimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy too and it interacts between a web server and an Internet browser. When a visitor loads a given web page, the content is requested by the web browser, and then the web server processes this request and sends back the needed information. If Varnish is enabled for a specific website, it will cache the pages at the first visit and in case the visitor visits a cached page once more, the content will be delivered by the accelerator platform instead of the web server. The increased load speed is an end result of the substantially faster response time that Varnish offers as compared with any server software. At the same time, this does not mean that the visitors will keep being served the very same content again and again, because any modification on any of the pages is reflected in the content that the Varnish platform saves in its memory.

Varnish in Web Hosting

You can make use of Varnish’s potential and boost the loading speed of your websites regardless of the web hosting plan that you’ve chosen and you can enable and set up the platform with a couple of clicks of the mouse using the simple-to-work-with interface offered by our innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll be able to select two separate things – how many sites will use Varnish, i.e. the number of instances, and how much info will be cached, i.e. the amount of memory. The latter comes in increments of 32 MB and is not tied to the number of instances, so you can order more instances with less memory and vice versa. If you have lots of content on a given Internet site and you win numerous website visitors, more system memory will guarantee you better results. You may also consider employing a dedicated IP address for the Internet sites that will use the Varnish platform. The Hepsia Control Panel will provide you with simple 1-click controls for discontinuing or restarting any instance, for erasing the cache for any website and for seeing exhaustive system logs.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Varnish caching platform is part of the default service set that you will obtain when you choose to host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account. You can configure it for any of your sites through our next-gen Hepsia Control Panel. The default memory that Varnish can use to cache data 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, in other words – the number of the Internet sites that can use this platform at the same time. As these two things aren’t bound to each other, you can use a couple of Internet sites with the default memory or you can order more memory in increments of 32 MB and use all of it for a single website. Varnish works best if you assign a dedicated IP address to the Internet sites that utilize its power. Hepsia will provide you with an easy way of restarting any instance. Furthermore, you will be able to delete the cached data with only one click of the mouse.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

The Varnish data caching platform is included by default with each of the Linux VPS web hosting services that we’re offering as long as the VPS is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you can enhance the work of your websites with only a few clicks of the mouse. 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 MB, so even if you run a handful of sites, you’ll notice a considerable reduction in the server load and a much faster web page load speed. The Varnish caching platform will have to work for a little while as the users browse the web pages and as soon as the site content has been cached, you will see the effect. One of the benefits of employing Varnish is that a less powerful and less expensive package will do the very same job as a more costly one without the caching platform, so not only will your websites work considerably better, but you will also save a certain amount of cash.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can employ Varnish to optimize the load speed of any site that’s hosted on a dedicated server from our company when the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed on the machine. Not only will you get the data caching platform ready for use at no extra charge, but you will also have complete control over it via Hepsia’s simple-to-work-with graphical interface. It will take just one single click to start or deactivate an instance or to delete the cached content associated with any Internet site that’s using the Varnish platform and in case you’re more sophisticated, you can also check the platform’s system logs. Varnish comes with at least three gigabytes of virtual memory for website content caching purposes, so even in case you run plenty of sites on your machine and they all use the Varnish platform, the difference in their overall performance will be perceivable. You’ll simply need to wait for a while until Varnish caches whatever webpages the visitors browse on their end. The platform performs best when the sites use a dedicated IP address, but owing to the fact that our dedicated servers come with 3 free-of-cost IPs, you’ll have everything you need.
