Varnish is a web app accelerator, which has been gaining a lot in popularity in recent years, as it can increase the load speed of any site, at times even by 100 percent, based on the content itself. This tool is occasionally referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy too and is used to reduce the overall load on the server and to accelerate the access speed for the site visitors. Anytime a visitor opens a page on a certain Internet site, the browser request is handled by the web server and the requested info is sent as a reply. If Varnish is activated, it caches the web pages that the visitor browses and in case any of them is opened for a second time, it’s fetched by Varnish and not by the web server directly. The improvement in the overall performance comes from the fact that the accelerator handles the web requests significantly faster than any web server, which results in much faster browsing speeds for the website visitors. In case any content is modified meanwhile, the cached web pages will also be ‘refreshed’ the next time someone opens them.

Varnish in Cloud Hosting

Varnish is available as an optional upgrade with each of our cloud hosting. You can add it to your hosting account from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared web hosting packages and you will get an exceptionally user-friendly interface, which will give you full control over the caching system. Using 1-click quick-access buttons, you can reboot or discontinue any of the instances, in other words – Varnish will no longer be activated for a given Internet site. You can also see an exhaustive system log file or erase the cache for any of the Internet sites. When you add Varnish to your shared web hosting plan, you’ll be able to select the total amount of memory that will be at your disposal for caching purposes and how many sites will use Varnish. You can always add more memory in increments of 32 MB and, for best performance, you can set a dedicated IP for the websites that will use Varnish. This will allow you to get the most out of your sites and to have plenty of happy website visitors.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Varnish is included by default with all semi-dedicated hosting that we’re offering and you can use it for workload distribution purposes. It is 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 Internet site that you host in your semi-dedicated account. In case you need more than that, you can increase the system memory allocation. The memory itself is available in increments of 32 MB in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. The very same Upgrades section will allow you to create more instances too, if you wish to use the Varnish caching platform with multiple sites. The two things can be ordered separately – you can cache the content of one large-scale website or run several sites with the default memory quota. You can get the most out of the Varnish caching platform if you have a dedicated IP and you can order one with your semi-dedicated package as well. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you total control over the platform and, with no more than one single click, you’ll be able to delete the cached files, to check a system log file or to restart an instance.

Varnish in VPS Hosting

You can use the load balancing potential of Varnish with all our VPS hosting in case you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. The content caching platform is offered by default and the system memory that it’ll be able to utilize to cache your website content depends on the given plan that you’ve chosen, but even with the less powerful plans, you will have at least several hundred MB of system memory at your disposal only for caching purposes. This amount is sufficient enough to enhance the work of numerous Internet sites. It’ll take some time for you to notice the results, as the Varnish platform caches the content that website visitors request, but shortly thereafter you will notice the considerably decreased load on the VPS server and the accelerated site browsing speed. Varnish will allow you to make use of a lower-end Virtual Private Server package for Internet sites that would usually need a more pricey web hosting solution.

Varnish in Dedicated Web Hosting

All Linux dedicated servers hosting packages which are ordered with the tailor-made Hepsia website hosting Control Panel feature Varnish, which is among the pre-installed platforms that you will get with the dedicated machine. The Varnish caching platform can be configured and managed with no effort through the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-work-with graphical interface and, with no more than one single mouse click, you can check an elaborate log, create or restart an instance, delete the cache associated with any site and much, much more. Shortly after you configure Varnish for a specific domain or sub-domain, it will start caching the pages browsed by the website visitors and as soon as it has cached enough content, you’ll perceive a substantially faster site performance in addition to a reduced load on your server. With Varnish-dedicated virtual memory starting at 3 gigabytes, you’ll be able to use the software platform for load distribution purposes even if you run a vast number of Internet sites on the server.
