Varnish is a web accelerator platform, which caches information for faster access. It’s sometimes called a caching HTTP reverse proxy too and it interacts between a web server and its users. When a site visitor loads a particular web page, the content is requested by the browser, and then the web server handles this request and delivers the necessary information. If Varnish is activated for a certain website, it will cache the pages at the first visit and if the user opens a cached page again, the information will be delivered by the accelerator platform instead of the server. The improved loading speed is an end result of the much faster response speed that the Varnish platform offers as compared with any server software. At the same time, this doesn’t mean that the website visitors will continue seeing the same content again and again, since any modification on any of the pages is reflected in the content that the Varnish platform stores in its system memory.

Varnish in Hosting

Varnish is available as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux hosting service and if you want to use it, you can add it to your shared account using the Upgrades section in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. There are two separate things that can be upgraded – the instances and the system memory. The first one refers to the number of the websites that you would like to use Varnish for, whereas the second, which is available in increments of 32 megabytes, pertains to the maximum amount of data that the data caching platform can store at any particular moment. Hepsia’s easy-to-use graphical interface will allow you to turn off or to restart any instance, to see exhaustive logs or to get rid of the platform’s cache with just a click. For maximum results, you can use a dedicated IP for the Internet sites that will use the caching platform. With Varnish, your Internet site will open tremendously faster, meaning more satisfied website users and potential customers.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Varnish content caching platform is part of the default service set that you will acquire when you choose to host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account. You can configure it for any of your websites through our next-gen Hepsia Control Panel. The default system memory that the Varnish platform can use to cache content is 64 megabytes, but if you decide that you need more, you can upgrade this memory from the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. You can also upgrade the Varnish instances, in other words – the number of the websites that can use this caching platform at the same time. As these two things aren’t tied to each other, you can use a couple of sites with the default memory or you can get more memory in increments of 32 MB and use all of it for one single site. The Varnish platform performs best when you assign a dedicated IP address to the sites that utilize its power. Hepsia will provide you with a simple means of rebooting any instance. Furthermore, you’ll be able to delete the cached content with only a click.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

We provide Varnish with all Hepsia-managed Linux VPS web hosting, so if you acquire a server with this web hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to use the data caching platform at no extra charge. Varnish can use different amounts of system memory for caching purposes depending on the specific VPS plan that you’ve chosen during the subscription process, but in any case, this amount will not be less than several hundred megabytes. This is quite enough to boost the overall performance of several different busy Internet sites, so the better page browsing speeds and the reduced load on your VPS server will be noticeable. The result may not be detectable momentarily, as Varnish will require some time to cache the site content that users browse, but shortly after you set it up, you will feel its full capacity. This platform will permit you to use a lower-end 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 Servers Hosting

When you need the most powerful website hosting solution and you buy any of the Linux dedicated hosting services that we’re offering, you can use the Varnish content caching platform to improve the work of your websites at no extra charge as long as the dedicated server is ordered with our advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Its user-friendly GUI will allow you to keep track of system processes, to delete the cached content or to reboot any instance with one mouse click. The smallest amount of memory that the Varnish caching platform can employ to cache Internet site content is three gigabytes, which is more than enough for an immense selection of resource-intensive sites, so your dedicated server will be able to deal with a tremendous system load while your visitors are enjoying a seamless web browsing experience. As your dedicated machine will include several dedicated IP addresses, you will be able to make use of Varnish’s full potential.
