Varnish is a website accelerator tool, which has been gaining a lot of popularity lately, because it can increase the load speed of any website, sometimes even by 100 percent, based on the content. This tool is sometimes referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy as well and is used to decrease the overall load on the physical machine and to increase the access speed for the website visitors. Whenever a visitor loads a page on a certain Internet site, the web browser request is handled by the web server and the requested content is delivered as a response. If the Varnish accelerator is enabled, it caches the web pages that the website visitor opens and in case any of them is loaded once more, it’s delivered by Varnish and not by the server directly. The performance improvement is due to the fact that the accelerator handles the browser requests tremendously faster than any web server, which results in much faster browsing speeds for the visitors. If any content is edited in the meantime, the cached pages will also be ‘refreshed’ the next time somebody tries to open them.

Varnish in Shared Web Hosting

Varnish comes as an optional upgrade with each Linux shared web hosting and if you’d like to use it, you can add it to your shared account using the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. There’re two separate things that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the memory. The first one refers to the number of the websites that you’d like to use Varnish for, whereas the second, which is available in increments of 32 megabytes, refers to the maximum amount of data that the platform can store at any particular time. Hepsia’s easy-to-use interface will allow you to remove or to restart any instance, to check detailed system logs or to erase the platform’s cache with just click of the mouse. For best results, you can use a dedicated IP for the websites that will use the caching platform. With Varnish, your Internet site will load significantly faster, which means more pleased visitors and potential customers.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The semi-dedicated hosting services offered by us will permit you to use Varnish once your brand new semi-dedicated server account is active, since the data caching platform comes by default. 64 MB of system memory will be allocated to Varnish the second your account is activated, so you can make use of this load balancing software as soon as your site has been launched. If you’re in need of more memory, you can order 32 MB at a time from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be allocated to your semi-dedicated server right away. You can also increase the number of the sites that employ Varnish, or the so-called ‘instances’, which are not directly bound to the amount of memory that you use, which suggests that you’ll enjoy more flexibility. The Varnish caching platform will seriously lower the load on the semi-dedicated machine caused by your sites, so your website visitors can enjoy fast-loading web pages. You will be able to manage the Varnish caching platform effortlessly through the Hepsia Control Panel using quick-access controls. You’ll be able to start/discontinue any of the instances that you have, to delete the cached data associated with any of your sites or to see system logs.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

You can take advantage of Varnish with any of our virtual private server packages at no additional cost, as the platform is pre-installed and is offered by default. The one and only requirement is that the virtual machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you will be able to activate Varnish for any of your websites with just a few mouse clicks. Each VPS package includes a different amount of system memory for content caching purposes, but you’ll get at least several hundred MB, which is enough even for several traffic-intensive websites. Shortly after you enable the Varnish platform, it’ll start caching the content that your visitors request, so you will notice the significantly better webpage load speeds and the less load on your Virtual Private Server in no time. Varnish will allow you to use a less pricey virtual server, since you will not need that much power to guarantee the correct operation of your Internet sites even if you manage large-scale sites with a lot of visitors. Best results are accomplished if the websites which use Varnish also use a dedicated IP.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can employ Varnish in order to optimize the load speed of any website that’s hosted on a dedicated server with our company when the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed on it. Not only will you get the data caching platform ready for use at no extra cost, but you will also exert total control over it via the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate interface. It will take just a click to start or disable an instance or to delete the cached files associated with any Internet site that’s using Varnish and in case you are more tech-savvy, you can also view the platform’s system logs. Varnish comes with at least three gigabytes of system memory for caching purposes, so even if you host an enormous number of sites on your machine and they all use the caching platform, the improvement in their overall performance will be detectable. You will just have to wait for a little while till Varnish caches whatever content the visitors browse on their end. The platform performs best when the sites use a dedicated IP, but owing to the fact that our dedicated servers include 3 cost-free IPs, you’ll have all that you need.
