Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a web application accelerator tool that can boost the loading speed of a site by up to 1000 percent, based on its content. Each time a visitor opens 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 opens it again. Thus, the browser request from the visitor is not handled by the server and the web page will load tremendously faster, since the Varnish platform can deliver content many times faster than any server software. The result is a much faster loading website, which means a greatly improved visitor experience. If any of the cached webpages is updated on the live site, the information that Varnish caches in its memory is updated as well, so the site visitors will not see out-of-date data.

Varnish in Shared Website Hosting

If you host your websites under a shared website hosting account with our company, you will be able to add Varnish with a few mouse clicks through your Control Panel. The content caching platform is offered as an upgrade with all our web hosting packages and you can choose the number of the websites that will use it and the total storage space that will be available for the cached data. The two features that can be upgraded in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel are the number of instances and the amount of system memory and they aren’t directly linked to each other, so you can choose if you need plenty of memory for one large site or less memory for several smaller ones. You can take advantage of the full potential of the Varnish platform in case the websites use a dedicated IP address. Using the hosting Control Panel, you can quickly start/restart/remove an instance, delete the cached data independently for each website that employs Varnish or see a detailed system log file.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans offered by our company will permit you to use Varnish once your new semi-dedicated server account has been set up, since the content caching platform is offered by default. 64 MB of system memory will be allocated to Varnish the second your account is activated, so you can make use of this load balancing software once your website has been taken online. If you’re in need of more memory, you can get 32 megabytes at a time from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be allocated to your semi-dedicated machine straight away. You can also increase the number of the Internet sites that use Varnish, or the so-called ‘instances’, which are not bound directly to the amount of system memory that you use, which suggests that you will enjoy more freedom. The platform will seriously reduce the load on the semi-dedicated server produced by your websites, so your visitors can enjoy fast-loading pages. You will be able to manage the Varnish platform with no effort through your Hepsia Control Panel using fast-access buttons. You’ll be able to start/disable any of the instances that you have, to delete the cached content associated with any of your sites or to check system log files.

Varnish in VPS Servers

You can use the workload balancing potential of Varnish with any of our Linux VPS hosting plans if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. The caching platform comes by default and the amount of system memory that it’ll be able to use to cache your website content depends upon the specific VPS plan that you’ve selected, but even with the lower-end plans, you’ll have at least several hundred MB of system memory at your disposal solely for caching purposes. This amount is enough to enhance the overall performance of multiple Internet sites. It’ll take some time for you to notice the results, since Varnish caches the content that website visitors request, but soon after that you will notice the significantly decreased load on your Virtual Private Server and the improved site load speed. The Varnish caching platform will permit you to use a lower-end VPS plan for Internet sites which would typically require a more expensive hosting service.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

When you need a powerful hosting solution and you buy one of the Linux dedicated servers offered by us, you can use Varnish to boost the work of your sites at no additional charge on the condition that the server is ordered with our leading-edge Hepsia Control Panel. Its easy-to-work-with interface will enable you to monitor system processes, to clear the cache or to restart any instance with one mouse click. The minimum amount of memory that the Varnish platform can use to cache Internet site content is three gigabytes, which is more than enough for an enormous number of resource-demanding Internet sites, so your dedicated server will be able to deal with a massive load while your Internet site visitors are having a seamless web browsing experience. As your dedicated machine will include a number of dedicated IPs, you will be able to make use of Varnish’s maximum capacity.
