Varnish is a content caching platform, which is occasionally called an HTTP reverse proxy. It is a website accelerator that can increase the speed of a site by up to 1000%, depending on its content. Each time a visitor accesses any page on a site that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server when the visitor loads it again. In this way, the browser request from the visitor is not processed by the web server and the page will load significantly faster, since Varnish can serve information many times faster than any web server software. The result is a significantly faster loading site, which means an enormously improved browsing experience. When any of the cached pages is updated on the actual website, the data that Varnish caches in its memory is updated as well, so the users won’t end up seeing outdated information.

Varnish in Shared Web Hosting

Varnish is available as an optional upgrade with each of our shared web hosting plans. You can add it to your website hosting account from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared plans and you will get a rather intuitive graphical interface, which will give you full control over the caching platform. Using 1-click fast-access buttons, you can restart or deactivate any of the instances, i.e. Varnish will no longer be activated for a specific website. You can also view an in-depth system log or delete the cache for any of the Internet sites. When you add Varnish to your shared web hosting package, you will be able to select the maximum amount of memory that will be at your disposal for content caching purposes and how many sites will use Varnish. You can always order more memory in increments of 32 MB and, for optimum performance, you can get a dedicated IP address for the sites that will use Varnish. This will allow you to get the most out of your websites and to have lots of gratified users.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

Varnish is a feature, which comes as standard with all semi-dedicated hosting plans that we’re offering and you can use it for load distribution purposes. It’s available in your Hepsia Control Panel. The Varnish platform comes with 64 MB of system memory for cached content storing purposes and you can use it with any Internet site that you host in your semi-dedicated server account. If you’re in need of more than that, you can increase the memory quota. The memory itself is available in increments of 32 MB through the Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The exact same Upgrades section will permit you to add more instances too, if you would like to use the Varnish platform with multiple sites. The two things can be added separately – you can cache the content of one large-scale website or run several sites with the default memory. You can take full advantage of the Varnish caching platform if you’ve got a dedicated IP and you can order one with your semi-dedicated server plan as well. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you full control over the caching platform and, with no more than one single mouse click, you’ll be able to delete the cached files, to check a log file or to restart an instance.

Varnish in VPS Servers

You can use the load balancing capabilities of Varnish with each of our VPS web hosting plans if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Varnish caching platform is available by default and the amount of system memory that it’ll be able to utilize to cache your website content is dependent on the specific Virtual Private Server plan that you’ve chosen, but even with the less powerful plans, you will have at least several hundred MB of memory at your disposal exclusively for content caching purposes. This amount is sufficient to boost the work of numerous websites. It’ll take a little time for you to detect the results, since Varnish caches the content that site visitors access, but after that you’ll notice the considerably reduced load on the Virtual Private Server and the enhanced site loading speed. The Varnish caching platform will allow you to use a lower-end plan for Internet sites that would usually need a more expensive web hosting solution.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

All dedicated web hosting plans which are ordered with the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel feature Varnish, which is one of the pre-installed platforms that you’ll get with the server. The Varnish data caching platform can be activated and managed without efforts via Hepsia’s time and effort saving interface and, with no more than one click, you can check a detailed log, create or reboot an instance, delete the cached files associated with any site and much more. Soon after you activate Varnish for a certain domain or subdomain, it will start caching the webpages requested by your visitors and once it has cached enough content, you’ll witness a considerably better site performance plus a decreased load. With Varnish-dedicated system memory starting at 3 gigabytes, you will be able to use the software platform for workload distribution purposes even if you run an enormous number of websites on your machine.
