Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally called a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web accelerator that can improve the speed of a site by up to one thousand percent, based on the content itself. Each time a visitor accesses any page on a site 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 processed by the server and the web page will load much faster, since the Varnish caching platform can serve content many times faster than any web server software. The result is a considerably faster loading website, which means a greatly improved website browsing experience. If any of the cached web pages is updated on the actual Internet site, the data that Varnish saves in its memory is updated too, so the site visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date content.

Varnish in Hosting

Varnish is offered as an optional upgrade with each and every hosting service and if you wish to use it, you can add it to your website hosting account via the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. There are two separate things that can be upgraded – the instances and the memory. The first one refers to the number of the Internet sites that you’d like to use Varnish for and the second one, which is offered in increments of 32 MB, indicates the total amount of content that the platform can store at any given time. Hepsia’s simple-to-work-with interface will enable you to switch off or to reboot any instance, to see detailed system logs or to clear the platform’s cache with just one click. For optimum results, you can use a dedicated IP for the Internet sites that will use the caching platform. With Varnish, your website will load significantly faster, meaning more satisfied site users and potential customers.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

Varnish is a feature, which comes as standard with all Linux semi-dedicated servers that we are offering and you can use it for load distribution purposes. It’s available in your Hepsia Control Panel. The platform comes with 64 MB of system memory for cached content storing purposes and you can employ it with any Internet site that you host in the semi-dedicated account. In case you’re in need of more, you can increase the memory allowance. The memory itself is offered in increments of 32 megabytes in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. The same section will enable you to create more instances as well, if you wish to use the Varnish caching platform with more sites. The two things can be added independently – you can cache the content of one large-size website or run several different sites with the default memory. You can take full advantage of the Varnish platform if you have a dedicated IP and you can order one with your semi-dedicated plan as well. Hepsia will grant you complete control over the platform and, with no more than one click, you’ll be able to clear the cache, to see a log file or to reboot an instance.

Varnish in VPS Servers

We offer Varnish with all Hepsia-equipped VPS servers, so if you acquire a server with this Control Panel, you will be able to make the most of the content caching platform at no additional cost. Varnish can use different amounts of memory for content caching purposes based on the specific configuration that you have selected during the signup procedure, but nevertheless, this amount will not be less than several hundred MB. This is more than enough to improve the work of a handful of resource-demanding Internet sites, so the faster web page browsing speeds and the decreased load on your VPS will be discernible. The effect may not be observable straight away, as Varnish will require a certain amount of time to cache the site content that users browse, but soon after you activate it, you will witness its full potential. This platform will permit you to use a less powerful Virtual Private Server and to give less cash to get the very same performance you’d get with a higher-end virtual machine without Varnish.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

You can employ Varnish to improve the speed of any website that’s hosted on a dedicated server from our company if the Hepsia Control Panel is installed on it. Not only will you get the caching platform ready to be used at no additional fee, but you’ll also have full control over it via Hepsia’s simple-to-work-with interface. It will take only one single click of the mouse to start or disable an instance or to clear the cache for any site that is using Varnish and in case you’re more experienced, you can also see the platform’s system logs. Varnish comes with at least 3 GB of system memory for caching purposes, so even in case you host a lot of websites on your machine and they all use the platform, the improvement in their overall performance will be observable. You’ll only need to wait for a little while till Varnish caches whatever webpages the visitors browse on their end. The platform works best when the Internet sites use a dedicated IP address, but considering the fact that our dedicated servers come with 3 charge-free IP addresses, you’ll have all that you need.
