Varnish is a web accelerator platform, which caches info for quicker response times. It’s sometimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy as well and it works between a web server and a web browser. When a visitor loads a certain page, its content is requested by the browser, and then the server handles this browser request and returns the needed information. If Varnish is activated for a given site, it will cache the pages at the very first visit and if the user accesses a cached page once more, the data will be delivered by the caching platform and not by the server. The improved load speed is a result of the substantially faster response speed that the Varnish platform offers as compared to any server software. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the users will continue seeing the very same content over and over again, because any update on any of the pages is reflected in the content that the Varnish platform saves in its system memory.

Varnish in Cloud Website Hosting

You can unlock Varnish’s potential and accelerate your sites’ speed irrespective of the cloud website hosting package that you’ve selected and you can add and set up the data caching platform with a few clicks of the mouse via the user-friendly graphical interface offered by our leading-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you’ll be able to select two different things – how many sites will employ the Varnish platform, i.e. the number of instances, and how much data will be cached, in other words – the amount of memory. The latter is available 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. If you have plenty of content on a certain site and you win numerous website visitors, more memory will guarantee you a better result. You may also consider using a dedicated IP for the Internet sites that will use the Varnish caching platform. The Hepsia Control Panel will provide you with easy one-click controls for turning off or restarting any instance, for deleting the cache for any site and for seeing exhaustive system logs.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Varnish is part of the basic service set that you’ll get when you choose to host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account. You can configure it for any of your sites via our next-gen Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The default system memory that the Varnish caching platform can use to cache content is 64 MB, but in case you decide that you need more, you can upgrade this amount of memory from the Control Panel’s Upgrades section. You can also upgrade the Varnish instances, in other words – the number of the Internet sites that can use this platform simultaneously. Since these two features are not tied to each other, you can use several instances with the default memory or you can get more memory in increments of 32 MB and use all of it for one single website. The Varnish caching platform performs best if you use a dedicated IP for the sites that utilize its power. Hepsia will provide you with an easy means of restarting any instance. In addition, you will be able to delete the cached data with only one single click of the mouse.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

You can take advantage of Varnish with each of our virtual private server plans at no extra fee, as the content caching platform is pre-installed and is available by default. The one and only requirement is that the Virtual Private Server must come with the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you will be able to activate Varnish for any of your Internet sites with just a few clicks. Each VPS package includes a different amount of memory for data caching purposes, but you’ll have no less than several hundred MB, which is enough even for multiple large-scale Internet sites. Soon after you enable the Varnish platform, it will start caching the content that your website visitors open, so you’ll notice the much faster page loading speeds and the decreased load on the VPS in no time. Varnish will allow you to use a less expensive VPS server, as you won’t require that much power to warrant the correct operation of your sites even if you manage large-size Internet sites with numerous visitors. Maximum results are accomplished if the Internet sites that use the Varnish platform also use a dedicated IP.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can employ Varnish to boost the speed of any website that’s hosted on a dedicated server from our company when the Hepsia Control Panel is pre-installed on the machine. Not only will you get the caching platform ready to be used at no additional cost, but you’ll also have complete control over it through the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly graphical interface. It’ll take just one single click of the mouse to start or remove an instance or to delete the cached content associated with any site that’s using Varnish and in case you are more knowledgeable, you can also check the platform’s system logs. Varnish comes with at least three gigabytes of system memory for data caching purposes, so even in case you run lots of Internet sites on your server and they all use the caching platform, the difference in their performance will be perceivable. You’ll just need to wait for a while until Varnish caches whatever content the visitors access on their end. The platform works best if the websites use a dedicated IP, but owing to the fact that our dedicated servers include three free-of-charge IP addresses, you’ll have everything you need.
