Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally called a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web app accelerator tool that can accelerate the loading speed of a website by up to one thousand percent, based on its content. 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 when the visitor accesses it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the web server and the page will load considerably faster, since the Varnish caching platform can deliver content many times faster than any server software. The end result is a substantially faster loading website, which leads to an improved website browsing experience. If any of the cached pages is updated on the live Internet site, the info that Varnish stores in its memory is ‘refreshed’ too, so the site visitors will not end up seeing out-of-date content.

Varnish in Shared Website Hosting

Varnish is offered as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux shared website hosting plans. You can add it to your account via the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting plans and you will get an exceptionally intuitive graphical interface, which will grant you complete control over the data caching system. Using 1-click fast-access buttons, you can reboot or shut down any of the instances, in other words – Varnish will no longer work for a certain site. You can also check an exhaustive system log file or clear the cache associated with any of the Internet sites. When you add Varnish to your hosting plan, you will be able to choose the maximum amount of system memory that will be available to you for data caching purposes and how many sites will use Varnish. You can always order more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and, for optimal performance, you can get a dedicated IP for the websites that will use Varnish. This will enable you to get the most out of your websites and to have lots of pleased website visitors.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

Varnish is a feature, which is offered as standard with all Linux semi-dedicated plans that we are offering and you can use it for load balancing purposes. It’s available in your Hepsia Control Panel. The Varnish platform comes with 64 MB of system memory for cached data storing purposes and you can employ it with any website that you host in your account. In case you are in need of more than that, you can increase the memory quota. The memory itself is offered in increments of 32 megabytes in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. The exact same section will allow you to enable more instances too, if you’d like to use the Varnish caching platform with more Internet sites. The two upgrades can be added independently – you can cache the content of a single regularly visited site or run several different websites with the default memory quota. 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 plan as well. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you full control over the caching platform and, with no more than a click, you will be able to clear the cache, to see a system log or to restart an instance.

Varnish in VPS Servers

You can use Varnish with any of our VPS server packages at no extra cost, since the caching platform is pre-installed and is included by default. The one and only condition is that the VPS must come with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you will be able to set up Varnish for any of your websites with just a few clicks of the mouse. Each Virtual Private Server package features a different amount of memory for content caching purposes, but you will have no less than several hundred megabytes, which is sufficient even for multiple large-sized sites. Soon after you activate Varnish, it’ll begin caching the content that your site visitors open, so you’ll notice the much faster site loading speeds and the reduced load on the virtual server very soon. The caching platform will allow you to use a less expensive virtual machine, as you will not need that many resources to warrant the proper operation of your sites even if you manage traffic-hungry sites with a lot of visitors. Maximum results are accomplished if the sites which use Varnish also use a dedicated IP.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

You can use Varnish in order to improve the load speed of any website that is hosted on a dedicated server with us when the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is pre-installed on it. Not only will you get the platform ready for use at no extra cost, but you will also exert full control over it through Hepsia’s simple-to-navigate interface. It’ll take just one mouse click to start or discontinue an instance or to clear the cached files for any site that is using the Varnish platform and if you’re more competent, you can also view the platform’s system logs. Varnish comes with no less than 3 gigabytes of system memory for data caching purposes, so even if you run multiple websites on your server and they all use the Varnish caching platform, the difference in their performance will be detectable. You’ll only have to wait for a while till Varnish caches whatever web pages the website visitors load on their end. The Varnish platform works best if the sites use a dedicated IP address, but considering the fact that our dedicated servers come with 3 free-of-charge IP addresses, you will have everything you need.
