Varnish is a data caching platform, which is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web accelerator that can improve the loading speed of a website by up to 1000%, 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 when the visitor accesses it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the web server and the page will load significantly faster, as Varnish can deliver data many times faster than any web server software. The end result will be a significantly faster loading website, which leads to an improved browsing experience. When any of the cached web pages is updated on the actual website, the information that Varnish caches in its memory is ‘refreshed’ too, so the website visitors won’t end up seeing outdated data.

Varnish in Cloud Hosting

If you host your Internet sites under a cloud hosting account with our company, you will be able to add Varnish with several mouse clicks from your Control Panel. The content caching platform is offered as an optional upgrade with all our shared web hosting packages and you can choose the number of the sites that will use it and the maximum storage space that will be used for the cached data. The two upgradeable features in the Control Panel’s Upgrades section are the amount of system memory and the number of instances and they aren’t linked directly to each other, so you can decide if you need lots of memory for one single large-size website or less memory for several smaller ones. You can take advantage of the full potential of the Varnish caching platform in case the websites use a dedicated IP address. Using the Control Panel, you can swiftly start/reboot/cancel an instance, delete the cached data independently for each site that uses Varnish or check a detailed system log file.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans come with Varnish by default, so you can use the web accelerator and optimize the loading speed of any website that you host on our platform. You’ll get 64 megabytes of memory exclusively for Varnish at no additional charge and you’ll be able to enable an instance with no more than a couple of clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with the semi-dedicated plans. If you want more memory, the latter is available in increments of 32 MB in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel and it will be available to you momentarily. You can also add more instances as a separate upgrade, so you can choose whether lots of content will be cached for a single site or whether the memory will be utilized by several Internet sites. Hepsia will permit you to restart or to deactivate any instance, to check the system log file for it or to clear the cached content using one-click buttons. To get the most out of the Varnish accelerator, you can assign a dedicated IP to the Internet sites that will employ it.

Varnish in VPS Servers

The Varnish content caching platform comes by default with each of the Linux VPS web hosting plans that we’re offering as long as the virtual machine is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you can enhance the work of your websites with just a few mouse clicks. The more powerful the plan, the more memory Varnish will have at its disposal, but even with a lower-end package, the platform will be able to utilize several hundred MB, so even if you own a number of websites, you’ll notice an enormous reduction in the overall server load and a considerably faster webpage load speed. The Varnish caching platform will have to work for a little while as the users browse the site and once the content has been cached, you’ll perceive the results. One of the pluses of employing Varnish is that a less powerful and less pricey package will accomplish the same job as a more costly one without the platform, so not only will your Internet sites perform considerably better, but you will also spare some money.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

If you need the most powerful hosting solution and you order any of the dedicated servers that we’re offering, you will be able to use the Varnish platform to improve the performance of your websites at no additional fee on the condition that the dedicated machine is ordered with our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Its user-friendly graphical interface will enable you to keep an eye on platform processes, to clear the cached data or to restart any instance with one click of the mouse. The smallest amount of system memory that the Varnish caching platform can use to cache site content is three gigabytes, which is more than enough for an enormous collection of traffic-consuming Internet sites, so your server will be able to handle a huge load while your visitors are having a smooth web browsing experience. Since your machine will come with several different dedicated IP addresses, you will be able to use Varnish’s full potential.
