Varnish is a content caching platform, which is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a web app accelerator that can increase the load speed of a site by up to 1000%, depending 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 opens it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the web server and the page will load substantially faster, since the Varnish platform can serve content many times faster than any web server software. The result is a much faster loading website, which means an enormously improved browsing experience. If any of the cached pages is updated on the actual website, the content that Varnish keeps in its memory is updated too, so the visitors won’t see old information.

Varnish in Cloud Hosting

We offer Varnish as an optional upgrade with each cloud hosting package and if you would like to use it, you can add it to your account using the Upgrades section in your Hepsia Control Panel. There’re two separate things that can be upgraded – the instances and the memory. The first one pertains to the number of the Internet sites that you would like to employ Varnish for and the second one, which is available in increments of 32 MB, refers to the maximum amount of content that the platform can store at any given time. The Hepsia Control Panel’s time and effort saving graphical interface will allow you to turn off or to restart any instance, to view detailed system logs or to erase the platform’s cache with just one click. For optimal results, you can use a dedicated IP for the websites that will use the caching platform. With Varnish, your Internet site will load much faster, which means more pleased website visitors and prospective clients.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Varnish is a feature, which is offered as standard with all Linux semi-dedicated packages that we are offering and you can use it for load balancing purposes. It is available in your Hepsia Control Panel. The caching platform comes with 64 megabytes of system memory for cached data storing purposes and you can use it with any Internet site that you host in the semi-dedicated server account. If you’re in need of more than that, you can increase the system memory allowance. The memory itself is available in increments of 32 MB through the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. The very same section will enable you to add more instances as well, in case you’d like to use the Varnish platform with more websites. The two things can be added independently – you can cache the content of one single frequently visited site or use several different sites with the default memory allocation. You can take full advantage of the Varnish caching platform if you’ve got a dedicated IP address and you can order one with your semi-dedicated package as well. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you complete control over the caching platform and, with no more than one click, you will be able to delete the cache, to see a log file or to restart an instance.

Varnish in VPS Hosting

You can take advantage of Varnish with all our virtual private server plans at no additional cost, since the content caching platform is pre-installed and is offered by default. The only precondition is that the virtual machine must come with the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you will be able to activate Varnish for any of your Internet sites with only a few mouse clicks. Each plan features a different amount of system memory for data caching purposes, but you will get minimum several hundred megabytes, which is sufficient enough even for multiple busy Internet sites. Shortly after you enable Varnish, it’ll start caching the content that your website visitors access, so you will notice the tremendously better site load speeds and the less load on the virtual machine in no time. The caching platform will allow you to use a less expensive Virtual Private Server, since you won’t require that much power to sustain the uninterrupted operation of your Internet sites even if you have large-scale Internet sites with many visitors. Maximum results are achieved if the Internet sites that use Varnish use also a dedicated IP address.

Varnish in Dedicated Web Hosting

You can employ Varnish to improve the load speed of any site that is hosted on a dedicated server from us if the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is pre-installed on the machine. Not only will you get the data caching platform ready for use at no extra cost, but you will also exert full control over it via the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate graphical interface. It’ll take only one click of the mouse to start or disable an instance or to clear the cached data associated with any website that’s using Varnish and in case you’re more knowledgeable, you can also view the platform’s logs. Varnish comes with at least 3 GB of virtual memory for site content caching purposes, so even if you run plenty of Internet sites on your server and they all use the Varnish platform, the difference in their performance will be observable. You will simply have to wait for a little while until Varnish caches whatever pages the site visitors access on their end. The Varnish platform performs best when the Internet sites use a dedicated IP, but owing to the fact that our dedicated servers include 3 charge-free IP addresses, you’ll have everything you need.
