Varnish is a content caching platform, which is occasionally called a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web accelerator tool that can increase the load speed of a site by up to one thousand percent, based 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 in case the visitor opens it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not processed by the web server and the page will load tremendously faster, since the Varnish caching platform can deliver content many times faster than any server software. The end result is a considerably faster loading website, which leads to a much-improved browsing experience. When any of the cached pages is updated on the actual website, the data that Varnish keeps in its memory is updated too, so the site visitors will not see out-of-date information.

Varnish in Shared Website Hosting

Varnish is offered as an optional upgrade with all our shared website hosting. You can add it to your web hosting account via the Hepsia Control Panel, which is available with all shared plans and you’ll get an amazingly user-friendly interface, which will give you full control over the caching system. Using one-click quick-access controls, you can reboot or deactivate any of the instances, in other words – Varnish will no longer be activated for a specific Internet site. You can also check an elaborate system log or delete the cache associated with any of the Internet sites. When you add Varnish to your shared hosting plan, you’ll be able to choose the total amount of system memory that will be at your disposal for caching purposes and the number of the sites that will use Varnish. You can always add more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and, for top performance, you can assign a dedicated IP to the websites that will use Varnish. This will allow you to get the most out of your Internet sites and to have many gratified website users.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Varnish content caching platform is part of the basic service set that you’ll receive if you decide to host your websites under a semi-dedicated server account. You can activate it for any of your websites via our innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The default amount of memory that the Varnish caching platform can use to cache content is 64 megabytes, but if you decide that you want more, you can upgrade this amount of memory from the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. You can also upgrade the Varnish instances, i.e. the number of the sites that can use this platform at the same time. As these two things aren’t tied to each other, you can use several Internet sites with the default memory or you can add more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and use all of it for one single Internet site. Varnish works best when you allocate a dedicated IP address to the websites that utilize its power. Hepsia will offer you an easy means of restarting any instance. Also, you’ll be able to delete the cached data with only one single click of the mouse.

Varnish in VPS Hosting

Varnish comes by default with each of the VPS hosting packages that we are offering as long as the virtual machine is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you can boost the performance of your websites with just a few clicks. The more powerful the plan, the more memory will be available to Varnish, but even with a lower-end package, the platform will be able to utilize several hundred MB, so even if you’ve got several sites, you’ll notice a serious reduction in the overall server load and a tremendously faster site loading speed. The Varnish platform will have to work for a little while while the users navigate the site and once the site content has been cached, you’ll distinguish the effect. One of the upsides of using Varnish is that a lower-end and less costly package will accomplish the same job as a more pricey one without the caching platform, so not only will your websites work much better, but you will also save some money.

Varnish in Dedicated Web Hosting

All dedicated web hosting that are ordered with the custom-developed Hepsia website hosting Control Panel include Varnish, which is one of the pre-installed platforms that you’ll get with the machine. The Varnish caching platform can be configured and managed with ease via the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate interface and, with no more than one mouse click, you can see an in-depth system log, add or reboot an instance, delete the cached data associated with any website and much more. Soon after you set up Varnish for a particular domain or subdomain, it will start caching the pages browsed by your site visitors and once it has cached enough content, you will observe a significantly faster website performance in addition to a reduced load on the server. With Varnish-dedicated memory starting at three gigabytes, you will be able to use the software platform for load balancing purposes even if you host plenty of Internet sites on your dedicated server.
