Varnish is a data caching platform, which is sometimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a website accelerator tool that can improve the load 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 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, as the Varnish platform can serve data many times faster than any web server software. The result will be a substantially faster loading website, which leads to a much-improved browsing experience. When any of the cached pages is updated on the live website, the content that Varnish caches in its system memory is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the visitors won’t end up seeing out-of-date info.

Varnish in Cloud Hosting

Our company offers Varnish as an optional upgrade with each and every cloud hosting and if you’d like to use it, you can add it to your shared web hosting account via the Upgrades section in your Hepsia Control Panel. There’re two different features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the memory. The first one depends on the number of the Internet sites that you wish to use Varnish for, whereas the second, which is offered in increments of 32 megabytes, shows the total amount of data that the data caching platform can cache at any particular time. The Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-work-with interface will permit you to deactivate or to restart any instance, to see elaborate system logs or to clear the platform’s cache with just one click. For optimum results, you can employ a dedicated IP address for the sites that will use the platform. With Varnish, your website will load considerably faster, meaning more satisfied users and prospective customers.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated servers include Varnish by default, so you can make use of the web application accelerator tool and accelerate any site that you host on our platform. You’ll get 64 MB of system memory particularly for Varnish at no extra charge and you’ll be able to activate an instance with no more than a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with the semi-dedicated server packages. In case you want more memory, the latter is offered in increments of 32 megabytes in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel and it will be at your disposal instantaneously. You can also add more instances as an upgrade, so you can choose if lots of data will be cached for a single website or if the available memory will be used by multiple websites. Hepsia will enable you to restart or to delete any instance, to see the system log associated with it or to clear the cached files using 1-click controls. To take full advantage of the Varnish accelerator, you can get a dedicated IP address for the Internet sites that will use it.

Varnish in VPS Servers

You can take advantage of Varnish with each of our VPS server packages at no extra cost, since the platform is pre-installed and is included by default. The only condition is that the virtual machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, through which you will be able to set up Varnish for any of your websites with only a few clicks of the mouse. Each package includes a different amount of memory for caching purposes, but you’ll get minimum several hundred megabytes, which is quite sufficient even for multiple traffic-heavy Internet sites. Soon after you activate Varnish, it’ll begin caching the content that your site visitors request, so you’ll notice the considerably better website load times and the less load on the server very soon. The caching platform will allow you to use a less expensive virtual server, since you will not require that much power to warrant the uninterrupted operation of your websites even if you’ve got large Internet sites with multiple visitors. Optimal results are accomplished if the websites that use the Varnish platform also use a dedicated IP.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

All dedicated servers which are ordered with the in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel include Varnish, which is among the pre-installed software platforms that you will get with the machine. The Varnish content caching platform can be enabled and administered without efforts through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-work-with graphical interface and, with no more than one click, you can browse a comprehensive log, add or restart an instance, clear the cached content associated with any website and much more. Shortly after you activate Varnish for a given domain or subdomain, it will begin caching the pages opened by the site visitors and as soon as it has cached enough content, you will witness a tremendously faster site performance as well as a lowered load. With Varnish-dedicated memory starting at three gigabytes, you will be able to use the platform for workload distribution purposes even if you host many websites on your server.
