Varnish is a web app accelerator platform, which caches information for the sake of faster response times. It’s sometimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy too and it works between a web server and an Internet browser. When a site visitor accesses a specific webpage, the content is requested by the Internet browser, and then the server processes this request and sends back the requested data. If Varnish is activated for a given website, it will cache the pages on the first request and if the visitor opens a cached page once again, the information will be delivered by the caching platform and not by the server. The improved load speed is an end result of the significantly faster response time that the Varnish platform offers compared to any web server software. At the same time, this does not mean that the users will continue being served the same content over and over again, as any modification on any of the web pages is reflected in the content that the Varnish platform stores in its memory.

Varnish in Website Hosting

Varnish is available as an optional upgrade with all our website hosting. You can add it to your account from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is available with all shared plans and you will get a very intuitive graphical interface, which will give you complete control over the content caching platform. Using 1-click quick-access buttons, you can reboot or discontinue any of the instances, i.e. Varnish will no longer be enabled for a certain website. You can also see a detailed log or clear the cache for any of the Internet sites. When you add Varnish to your shared web hosting plan, you will be able to choose the total amount of memory that will be at your disposal for data caching purposes and how many websites will use Varnish. You can always add more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and, for top performance, you can get a dedicated IP for the sites that will use Varnish. This will allow you to take full advantage of your Internet sites and to have many gratified website visitors.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Varnish is included as standard with all semi-dedicated packages offered by our company and you can use it for load balancing purposes. It is available in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The caching platform comes with 64 megabytes of system memory for cached data storing purposes and you can use it with any website that you host in the account. In case you need more, you can increase the system memory allowance. The memory itself is offered in increments of 32 MB through the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. The very same section will permit you to enable more instances too, if you want to use the Varnish caching platform with more sites. The two upgrades can be ordered separately – you can cache the content of one single large-sized website or run several different websites with the default memory allocation. You can get the most out of Varnish if you use a dedicated IP address and you can order one with your semi-dedicated package as well. Hepsia will grant you complete control over the caching platform and, with no more than one click of the mouse, you will be able to clear the cached content, to view a system log file or to reboot an instance.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

The Varnish content caching platform comes by default with all Linux VPS web hosting that we are offering given that the VPS server is ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so you can improve the overall performance of your websites with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. The more powerful the plan, the more memory will be available to Varnish, but even with a less powerful plan, the platform will be able to utilize several hundred MB, so even if you run a handful of Internet sites, you will notice a substantial decrease in the server load and a considerably better site load speed. The platform will have to work for a little while while the users browse the website and once the site content has been cached, you will observe the effects. One of the benefits of using Varnish is that a lower-end and less expensive VPS plan will do the very same job as a more costly one without the platform, so not only will your sites work significantly better, but you’ll also save a certain amount of cash.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you want a more powerful hosting solution and you buy one of the Linux dedicated servers hosting offered by our company, you’ll be able to use the Varnish caching platform to optimize the work of your sites at no extra cost as long as the dedicated machine is ordered with our innovative Hepsia Control Panel. Its intuitive interface will allow you to keep track of system processes, to clear the cached contents or to restart any instance with one click of the mouse. The smallest amount of memory that the Varnish platform can employ to cache website content is 3 GB, which is more than enough for a vast selection of traffic-heavy sites, so your dedicated server will be able to handle an immense system load while your site visitors are enjoying a seamless browsing experience. Since your server will come with several different dedicated IP addresses, you will be able to make use of Varnish’s full capacity.
