Varnish is a data caching platform, which is sometimes called a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web accelerator tool that can accelerate the load speed of a website by up to 1000 percent, based on its content. Whenever 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 accesses it again. Thus, the web browser request from the visitor is not processed by the server and the web page will load much faster, as the Varnish platform can deliver content many times faster than any server software. The result is a substantially faster loading page, which means an enormously improved browsing experience. If any of the cached webpages is updated on the actual website, the content that Varnish saves in its memory is updated too, so the visitors will not see out-of-date information.

Varnish in Web Hosting

You can unleash Varnish’s full potential and optimize your websites’ load speed regardless of the web hosting package that you have chosen and you can add and set up the platform with a few clicks via the intuitive interface offered by our advanced Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you’ll be able to select two different things – how many Internet sites will use the Varnish platform, i.e. the number of instances, and how much information will be cached, in other words – the amount of memory. The latter is offered in increments of 32 megabytes and is not bound to the number of instances, so you can add more instances and less memory and the other way around. If you have lots of content on a specific site and you gain lots of site visitors, more system memory will guarantee you a better result. You may also consider using a dedicated IP for the sites that will use Varnish. Hepsia will offer you simple one-click controls for cancelling or restarting any instance, for erasing the cache for each website and for viewing in-depth system logs.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated servers include Varnish by default, so you can use the web app accelerator tool and optimize the loading speed of any site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. You’ll get 64 megabytes of memory exclusively for the Varnish accelerator at no additional cost and you’ll be able to enable an instance with no more than a few clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated plans. If you need more memory, the latter is available in increments of 32 megabytes through the Upgrades section of the Control Panel and it will be at your disposal straight away. You can also order more instances as a separate upgrade, so you can choose whether plenty of data will be cached for one website or whether the available memory will be utilized by different sites. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to reboot or to discontinue any instance, to check the system log for it or to delete the cached files using single-click controls. To take full advantage of the Varnish accelerator, you can set a dedicated IP address for the sites which will use it.

Varnish in VPS Servers

You can use the load balancing capabilities of Varnish with any of our VPS servers when you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. The caching platform comes by default and the memory that it’ll be able to utilize to cache the content of your sites depends on the specific package that you have picked, but even with the lower-end plans, you will have at least several hundred megabytes of system memory at your disposal exclusively for caching purposes. This amount is sufficient enough to boost the performance of multiple Internet sites. It will take a little time for you to see the results, since the Varnish platform caches the content that site visitors browse, but shortly thereafter you’ll notice the significantly less load on the virtual machine and the accelerated site load speed. The Varnish platform will allow you to use a less powerful plan for websites that would usually need a more high-priced hosting service.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

All dedicated servers which are ordered with the custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel come with Varnish, which is among the pre-installed platforms that you’ll get with the machine. The Varnish content caching platform can be set up and administered with no effort through Hepsia’s simple-to-use graphical interface and, with no more than a click, you can see an in-depth system log, add or restart an instance, delete the cached content for any Internet site and much more. Soon after you configure Varnish for a particular domain or sub-domain, it will start caching the web pages loaded by the website visitors and once it has cached enough content, you will witness a tremendously better website performance as well as a lowered server load. With Varnish-dedicated memory starting at three gigabytes, you will be able to use the platform for load distribution purposes even if you run numerous Internet sites on your dedicated server.
