Varnish is a content caching platform, which is occasionally called a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a web application accelerator that can boost the speed of a website by up to 1000%, depending on its content. 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 web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the server and the web page will load significantly faster, since Varnish can deliver content many times faster than any server software. The result is a much faster loading page, which leads to an immensely improved visitor experience. If any of the cached webpages is updated on the actual site, the info that Varnish saves in its memory is updated too, so the visitors will never see out-of-date information.

Varnish in Cloud Web Hosting

Varnish is available as an optional upgrade with each of our cloud web hosting services. You can add it to your account via the Hepsia Control Panel, which is available with all shared packages and you’ll get an exceptionally intuitive graphical interface, which will give you full control over the data caching platform. Using one-click quick-access controls, you can reboot or terminate any of the instances, i.e. Varnish will no longer be activated for a certain site. You can also check a comprehensive system log or clear the cache for any of the sites. When you add Varnish to your shared hosting plan, you will be able to select the maximum amount of system memory that will be available to you for data caching purposes and how many sites will use Varnish. You can always add more memory in increments of 32 MB and, for optimum performance, you can assign a dedicated IP to the websites that will use Varnish. This will enable you to get the most out of your websites and to have many happy users.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated services come with Varnish by default, so you can take full advantage of the web accelerator and enhance the loading speed of any website that you host on our platform. You will get 64 megabytes of system memory particularly for the Varnish accelerator at no extra cost and you’ll be able to activate an instance with no more than a few clicks through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with the semi-dedicated plans. If you need more memory, the latter is offered in increments of 32 megabytes through the Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be available to you immediately. You can also add more instances as a separate upgrade, so you can choose whether lots of data will be cached for one website or if the memory will be used by different Internet sites. The Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to restart or to delete any instance, to see the system log associated with it or to delete the cached files using single-click controls. To take full advantage of Varnish, you can assign a dedicated IP address to the websites that will employ it.

Varnish in VPS Hosting

The Varnish content caching platform is included by default with each of the VPS hosting services that we’re offering given that the server is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you can boost the work of your sites with only a few mouse clicks. The more powerful the package, the more system memory Varnish will have at its disposal, but even with a less powerful plan, the caching platform will be able to utilize several hundred megabytes, so even if you have a number of websites, you’ll notice a substantial reduction in the server load and a much better website load speed. The Varnish caching platform will need to work for a while as the users browse the web pages and once the website content has been cached, you’ll observe the result. One of the pros of using Varnish is that a less powerful and less high-priced Virtual Private Server package will do the exact same job as a more high-priced one without the caching platform, so not only will your Internet sites work considerably better, but you will also spare some cash.

Varnish in Dedicated Web Hosting

All dedicated hosting services that are ordered with the custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel include Varnish, which is one of the pre-installed software platforms that you’ll get with the server. The Varnish caching platform can be set up and administered with no effort from Hepsia’s user-friendly GUI and, with no more than a click, you can check an elaborate system log, create or reboot an instance, clear the cached files for any Internet site and much more. Shortly after you enable the Varnish platform for a particular domain or sub-domain, it will start caching the webpages requested by your site visitors and as soon as it has cached enough content, you will observe a substantially better website performance and a lowered load on the dedicated machine. With Varnish-dedicated memory starting at 3 gigabytes, you will be able to use the software platform for workload distribution purposes even if you host a large number of websites on the machine.
