Varnish is a web app accelerator platform, which caches info for faster response times. It is sometimes referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy too and it interacts between a web server and a browser. When a website visitor opens a certain webpage, the content is requested by the browser, and then the server processes this request and returns the needed info. If Varnish is activated for a certain site, it will cache the pages on the very first request and if the visitor visits a cached page again, the information will be delivered by the accelerator platform and not by the server. The accelerated speed is an end result of the substantially faster response speed that the Varnish platform offers as compared to any web server software. Of course, this does not mean that the website visitors will keep being served the very same content again and again, since any change on any of the web pages is reflected in the content that the Varnish platform keeps in its memory.

Varnish in Cloud Web Hosting

Varnish is offered as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux cloud web hosting services. You can add it to your account through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared web hosting plans and you will get a very easy-to-work-with graphical interface, which will give you full control over the caching platform. Using one-click fast-access buttons, you can reboot or turn off any of the instances, in other words – Varnish will no longer work for a particular Internet site. You can also view an exhaustive log or delete the cache for any of the Internet sites. When you add Varnish to your shared hosting package, you’ll be able to choose the total amount of system memory that will be at your disposal for data caching purposes and how many sites will use Varnish. You can always get more memory in increments of 32 MB and, for maximum performance, you can assign a dedicated IP to the sites that will use Varnish. This will permit you to take full advantage of your websites and to have a lot of satisfied website visitors.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting come with Varnish by default, so you can take full advantage of the web app accelerator tool and accelerate the loading speed of any site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. You will get 64 megabytes of memory exclusively for Varnish at no additional fee and you will be able to add an instance with no more than a few clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated packages. If you need more memory, the latter is offered in increments of 32 megabytes through the Upgrades section of the Control Panel and it will be available to you right away. You can also order more instances as an upgrade, so you can decide if plenty of content will be cached for a single site or if the available memory will be utilized by several sites. The Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to restart or to remove any instance, to view the system log file for it or to delete the cached files using 1-click controls. To get the most out of Varnish, you can assign a dedicated IP address to the websites that will employ it.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

You can use Varnish with any of our virtual private server packages at no extra fee, as the data caching platform is pre-installed and is offered by default. The one and only prerequisite is that the server must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll be able to activate Varnish for any of your sites with only a few clicks. Each plan comes with a different amount of memory for content caching purposes, but you will get minimum several hundred MB, which is sufficient enough even for several traffic-consuming websites. Shortly after you enable Varnish, it’ll start caching the content that your website visitors browse, so you’ll notice the much faster web page load times and the less load on the machine very soon. The Varnish caching platform will allow you to use a less high-priced virtual server, as you won’t need that many resources to ensure the correct operation of your Internet sites even if you run busy sites with a lot of visitors. Optimum results are accomplished if the sites which use the Varnish platform also use a dedicated IP address.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can employ Varnish in order to boost the loading speed of any site that’s hosted on a dedicated server from our company if the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed on the machine. Not only will you get the content caching platform ready for use at no extra charge, but you’ll also have full control over it through Hepsia’s simple-to-navigate GUI. It’ll take only one click of the mouse to start or delete an instance or to delete the cached content for any website that is using Varnish and in case you’re more sophisticated, you can also browse the platform’s system logs. Varnish comes with no less than 3 gigabytes of system memory for caching purposes, so even if you host a lot of Internet sites on your machine and they all use the platform, the difference in their overall performance will be distinguishable. You’ll simply need to wait for a little while till Varnish caches whatever content the site visitors browse on their end. The Varnish platform works best if the Internet sites use a dedicated IP, but owing to the fact that our servers come with three charge-free IPs, you’ll have everything you need.
