Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web application accelerator tool that can increase the loading speed of a site by up to 1000 percent, depending on its content. Anytime a visitor opens any page on a site that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server if the visitor loads it again. In this way, the browser request from the visitor is not handled by the server and the web page will load significantly faster, as the Varnish platform can deliver information many times faster than any server software. The result is a substantially faster loading website, which leads to a much-improved visitor experience. If any of the cached pages is updated on the actual Internet site, the content that Varnish saves in its system memory is updated as well, so the visitors won’t see old content.

Varnish in Web Hosting

Varnish comes as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux web hosting and if you would like to use it, you can add it to your shared website hosting account using the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. There’re two different things that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the memory. The first one refers to the number of the sites that you wish to use Varnish for, whereas the second, which is offered in increments of 32 MB, indicates the maximum amount of content that the content caching platform can cache at any given time. The Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-work-with graphical interface will allow you to cancel or to restart any instance, to see elaborate system logs or to erase the platform’s cache with just click of the mouse. For optimum results, you can use a dedicated IP address for the websites that will use the platform. With Varnish, your Internet site will load considerably faster, meaning more pleased website users and potential clients.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Varnish caching platform is part of the default service set that you will acquire in case you decide to host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account. You can activate it for any of your websites via our next-gen Hepsia Control Panel. The default memory that Varnish can use to cache content is 64 megabytes, but if you decide that you need more, you can upgrade this memory from the Control Panel’s Upgrades section. You can also upgrade the Varnish instances, in other words – the number of the Internet sites that can use this caching platform simultaneously. Since these two features are not tied to each other, you can use a few websites with the default memory or you can get more memory in increments of 32 MB and use all of it for a single site. The Varnish caching platform performs best when you use a dedicated IP address for the sites that utilize its power. Hepsia will provide you with an easy means of rebooting any instance. Furthermore, you will be able to delete the cached files with only a click.

Varnish in VPS Servers

The Varnish caching platform is included by default with each of the VPS servers that we are offering given that the VPS is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you can enhance the overall performance of your sites with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. The more powerful the plan, the more system memory will be available to Varnish, but even with a low-end plan, the caching platform will be able to utilize several hundred megabytes, so even if you run a handful of Internet sites, you will notice a significant decrease in the server load and a significantly faster site loading speed. The platform will need to work for a little while as the users browse the site and once the site content has been cached, you will distinguish the result. One of the pros of employing Varnish is that a less powerful and less costly package will accomplish the very same job as a more costly one without the caching platform, so not only will your websites work better, but you will also spare a certain amount of money.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

If you need a more powerful web hosting solution and you purchase one of the Linux dedicated servers that we offer, you’ll be able to use the Varnish caching platform to optimize the overall performance of your websites at no extra cost as long as the dedicated server is ordered with our innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Its easy-to-work-with interface will permit you to keep track of platform processes, to delete the cached content or to restart any instance with a click. The minimal amount of system memory that the platform can employ to cache website content is three gigabytes, which is more than enough for a huge collection of popular sites, so your dedicated server will be able to handle a substantial load while your Internet site visitors are having a smooth web browsing experience. Since your machine will come with several dedicated IPs, you’ll be able to make use of Varnish’s full potential.
