Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally called a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a web accelerator tool that can improve the load speed of a site by up to one thousand percent, depending on the content itself. Every time a visitor opens any page on a site that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server in case the visitor accesses it again. In this way, the browser request from the visitor is not handled by the server and the web page will load much faster, as the Varnish platform can deliver content many times faster than any server software. The result is a considerably faster loading page, which means an immensely improved browsing experience. When any of the cached pages is updated on the live Internet site, the data that Varnish saves in its memory is updated as well, so the site visitors won’t end up seeing old information.

Varnish in Cloud Hosting

You can take advantage of Varnish’s potential and increase the speed of your sites regardless of the cloud hosting package that you have picked and you can activate and configure the platform with a couple of clicks through the intuitive graphical interface offered by our next-generation Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you will be able to select two different things – how many websites will employ the Varnish caching platform, i.e. the number of instances, and how much content will be cached, i.e. the amount of memory. The latter comes in increments of 32 MB and is not bound to the number of instances, so you can order more instances and less memory and vice versa. If you have a lot of content on a certain Internet site and you receive many visitors, more system memory will guarantee you better results. You may also consider employing a dedicated IP for the Internet sites that will use the Varnish caching platform. Hepsia will provide you with simple 1-click buttons for terminating or restarting any instance, for erasing the cache associated with each website and for seeing in-depth logs.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our semi-dedicated packages include Varnish by default, so you can take full advantage of the web app accelerator tool and accelerate any website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. You’ll get 64 megabytes of memory particularly for the Varnish accelerator at no extra fee and you will be able to add an instance with no more than a few clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with the semi-dedicated server plans. In case you need more memory, the latter is offered in increments of 32 megabytes in the Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be at your disposal straight away. You can also order more instances as a separate upgrade, so you can decide if lots of content will be cached for a single website or whether the memory will be used by several websites. The Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to reboot or to remove any instance, to check the system log for it or to clear the cached files using 1-click controls. To take full advantage of the Varnish accelerator, you can allocate a dedicated IP to the websites which will use it.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

You can take advantage of Varnish with each of our virtual private server packages at no additional cost, since the caching platform is pre-installed and is offered by default. The sole condition is that the VPS server must come with the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will be able to set up Varnish for any of your Internet sites with only a couple of clicks. Each VPS plan offers a different amount of system memory for caching purposes, but you will have no less than several hundred megabytes, which is sufficient even for multiple resource-consuming sites. Soon after you enable Varnish, it will start caching the content that your website visitors open, so you will notice the significantly better page load speeds and the less load on your virtual server in no time. The caching platform will permit you to use a less pricey server, since you won’t require that many resources to ensure the proper operation of your websites even if you have high-demand Internet sites with plenty of visitors. Maximum results are accomplished if the websites that use the Varnish platform also use a dedicated IP address.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can use Varnish in order to accelerate the speed of any site that is hosted on a dedicated server with our company when the Hepsia Control Panel is pre-installed on the machine. Not only will you get the platform ready to be used at no extra fee, but you will also have total control over it via Hepsia’s easy-to-use interface. It’ll take only one click to start or deactivate an instance or to clear the cached content associated with any Internet site that’s using the Varnish platform and if you’re more advanced, you can also check the platform’s logs. Varnish comes with no less than 3 gigabytes of memory for content caching purposes, so even if you run a vast number of websites on your machine and they all use the Varnish platform, the improvement in their performance will be visible. You will only have to wait for a little while until Varnish caches whatever content the website visitors load on their end. The Varnish platform works best when the sites use a dedicated IP, but owing to the fact that our dedicated servers come with 3 free IP addresses, you’ll have everything you need.
