Varnish is a web app accelerator tool, which has been gaining a lot of popularity in recent years, because it can increase the speed of any website, at times even by 100 percent, depending on the content. This tool is occasionally referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy too and is used to lower the overall load on the server and to accelerate the browsing speed for the website visitors. Every time a visitor loads a page on a given website, the web browser request is handled by the web server and the requested data is delivered as a reply. If Varnish is activated, it caches the web pages that the site visitor opens and in case any of them is loaded again, it’s delivered by Varnish and not by the server directly. The boost in the performance comes from the fact that the accelerator processes the web requests considerably faster than any web server, which results in much faster browsing speeds for the visitors. If any content is modified in the meantime, the cached pages will also be updated the next time someone attempts to access them.

Varnish in Hosting

You can unlock Varnish’s potential and optimize your sites’ load speed irrespective of the hosting package that you’ve selected and you can activate and configure the data caching platform with several clicks of the mouse from the easy-to-use interface offered by our leading-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the procedure, you will be able to select two separate things – how many Internet sites will employ the Varnish platform, i.e. the number of instances, and how much information will be cached, i.e. the amount of system memory. The latter is offered in increments of 32 MB and is not linked to the number of instances, so you can order more instances with less memory and vice versa. In case you have plenty of content on a certain website and you gain plenty of visitors, more memory will guarantee you better results. You may also consider using a dedicated IP for the websites that will use the Varnish caching platform. The Hepsia Control Panel will offer you easy 1-click controls for cancelling or rebooting any instance, for deleting the cache for each site and for viewing exhaustive system logs.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our semi-dedicated plans include Varnish by default, so you can make use of the accelerator and improve the speed of any site that you host on our platform. You’ll get 64 megabytes of memory particularly for Varnish at no extra cost and you can activate an instance with no more than a couple of mouse clicks via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated server packages. If you need more memory, the latter is available in increments of 32 megabytes in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel and it will be available to you immediately. You can also add more instances as an upgrade, so you can decide if plenty of data will be cached for a single site or if the available memory will be used by several sites. Hepsia will permit you to reboot or to deactivate any instance, to see the system log file for it or to clear the cached content using single-click controls. To get the most out of Varnish, you can set a dedicated IP address for the websites that will use it.

Varnish in VPS Servers

You can take full advantage of the workload balancing potential of Varnish with each of our VPS web hosting plans in case you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. The Varnish caching platform is offered by default and the amount of memory that it’ll be able to utilize to cache your website content is dependent upon the specific Virtual Private Server plan that you have selected, but even with the lower-end plans, you will have at least several hundred MB of system memory at your disposal solely for data caching purposes. This amount is sufficient enough to boost the work of multiple websites. It’ll take a little time for you to distinguish the results, as Varnish caches the content that visitors open, but soon after that you’ll notice the substantially lowered load on your virtual server and the accelerated Internet site loading speed. The Varnish caching platform will permit you to use a less powerful Virtual Private Server plan for Internet sites which would usually need a more pricey web hosting solution.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

When you need the most powerful web hosting solution and you obtain one of the dedicated web hosting plans offered by our company, you will be able to use the Varnish platform to enhance the work of your sites at no extra fee as long as the dedicated machine is ordered with our cutting-edge Hepsia Control Panel. Its easy-to-work-with interface will allow you to keep an eye on system processes, to clear the cached data or to reboot any instance with one click of the mouse. The minimum amount of system memory that the Varnish caching platform can use to cache Internet site content is three gigabytes, which is more than enough for an enormous selection of repeatedly visited sites, so your dedicated server will be able to handle a gigantic load while your visitors are enjoying a seamless browsing experience. Since your machine will come with several dedicated IPs, you’ll be able to use Varnish’s full potential.
