Varnish is a website accelerator platform, which caches info for faster response times. It’s occasionally called an HTTP reverse proxy too and it works between a web server and its users. When a website visitor loads a given page, the content is requested by the browser, and then the server processes this browser request and sends back the necessary data. If Varnish is enabled for a site, it will cache its pages at the very first visit and if the visitor visits a cached page for a second time, the information will be delivered by the caching platform and not by the web server. The increased speed is a result of the considerably faster response speed that Varnish offers as compared with any server software. At the same time, this does not mean that the website visitors will keep seeing the very same content again and again, as any modification on any of the pages is reflected in the content that the Varnish platform keeps in its memory.

Varnish in Shared Hosting

Our company offers Varnish as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux shared package and if you wish to use it, you can add it to your shared hosting account via the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. There’re two separate things that can be upgraded – the instances and the system memory. The first one pertains to the number of the websites that you wish to use Varnish for and the second one, which comes in increments of 32 MB, indicates the maximum amount of data that the platform can cache at any given moment. The Hepsia Control Panel’s time and effort saving GUI will permit you to stop or to reboot any instance, to see exhaustive system logs or to delete the platform’s cache with just one mouse click. For maximum results, you can use a dedicated IP address for the sites that will use the caching platform. With Varnish, your website will open tremendously faster, meaning more happy site users and prospective clients.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Varnish platform is an essential part of the default set of services that you will acquire when you decide to host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account. You can enable it for any of your Internet sites through our leading-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The default memory that Varnish can use to cache content is 64 MB, but in case you decide that you need more, you can upgrade this amount of memory from the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. You can also upgrade the Varnish instances, i.e. the number of the websites that can use this platform simultaneously. Since these two features aren’t linked to each other, you can use a few sites with the default amount of memory or you can get more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and use all of it for a single website. Varnish performs best when you use a dedicated IP address for the Internet sites that utilize its power. Hepsia will offer you a simple means of rebooting any instance. In addition, you’ll be able to delete the cached content with only one single click.

Varnish in VPS

You can take full advantage of the load balancing capabilities of Varnish with all our VPS if you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Varnish content caching platform comes by default and the amount of memory that it’ll be able to utilize to cache the content of your sites is dependent on the given package that you’ve chosen, but even with the less powerful packages, you will have no less than several hundred MB of system memory at your disposal exclusively for caching purposes. This amount is sufficient to optimize the work of numerous sites. It’ll take some time for you to distinguish the results, since Varnish caches the content that website visitors access, but after that you’ll notice the significantly lowered load on the machine and the enhanced website loading speed. The Varnish platform will allow you to make use of a less powerful plan for websites that would normally need a more high-priced web hosting service.

Varnish in Dedicated Hosting

If you want a more powerful web hosting solution and you purchase any of the Linux dedicated hosting offered by us, you can use Varnish to optimize the work of your sites at no additional fee as long as the server is ordered with our next-generation Hepsia Control Panel. Its intuitive interface will permit you to keep track of platform processes, to delete the cached data or to restart any instance with one click of the mouse. The smallest amount of system memory that the caching platform can employ to cache Internet site content is three gigabytes, which is quite enough for a huge selection of resource-consuming websites, so your dedicated server will be able to handle a colossal system load while your site visitors are having a seamless browsing experience. Since your machine will come with several dedicated IP addresses, you’ll be able to use Varnish’s maximum capacity.
