Varnish is a website accelerator, which has been gaining a lot of popularity lately, because it can increase the load speed of any site, sometimes even by 100 percent, based on the content itself. This tool is sometimes referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy as well and is used to lower the overall load on the physical server and to improve the browsing speed for the website visitors. Every time a visitor opens a page on a specific website, the browser request is processed by the web server and the requested info is delivered as a response. If the Varnish accelerator is activated, it caches the web pages that the visitor opens and if any of them is opened again, it is fetched by Varnish and not by the web server directly. The boost in the overall performance comes from the fact that the accelerator handles the web requests considerably quicker than any web server, which leads to much faster browsing speeds for the website visitors. In case any data is changed in the meantime, the cached web pages will also be ‘refreshed’ the next time someone tries to open them.

Varnish in Cloud Website Hosting

If you host your sites under a cloud website hosting account with our company, you’ll be able to add Varnish with a few clicks via your hosting Control Panel. The platform is offered as an optional upgrade with all our shared web hosting packages and you can select how many sites will use it and the total amount of system memory that will be available for the cached content. The two upgradeable features in the Control Panel’s Upgrades section are the amount of system memory and the number of instances and they are not tied directly to each other, so you can choose if you need lots of memory for one large site or less memory for multiple smaller ones. You can use the full potential of Varnish in case the websites use a dedicated IP. Using the hosting Control Panel, you can effortlessly start/restart/discontinue an instance, delete the cached contents individually for each website which employs the Varnish platform or see a detailed system log file.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting come with Varnish by default, so you can take advantage of the web application accelerator and boost the load speed of any website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. You’ll get 64 megabytes of system memory dedicated to Varnish at no extra cost and you will be able to add an instance with no more than a couple of clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated server packages. In case you need more memory, the latter is available in increments of 32 megabytes through the Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be available to you instantly. You can also order more instances as an upgrade, so you can choose whether a lot of data will be cached for one site or if the available memory will be utilized by multiple Internet sites. The Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to restart or to disable any instance, to view the system log for it or to delete the cached files using one-click controls. To get the most out of Varnish, you can allocate a dedicated IP to the sites that will employ it.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

You can use Varnish with all our virtual private server plans at no extra charge, since the data caching platform is pre-installed and is included by default. The only precondition is that the Virtual Private Server must come with the Hepsia Control Panel, through which you will be able to set up Varnish for any of your websites with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. Each Virtual Private Server plan features a different amount of system memory for data caching purposes, but you will have at least several hundred megabytes, which is quite sufficient even for several busy Internet sites. Soon after you set up Varnish, it will begin caching the content that your site visitors open, so you’ll notice the tremendously better Internet site loading times and the lowered load in no time. The caching platform will permit you to use a less high-priced virtual machine, since you won’t require that many resources to guarantee the proper operation of your Internet sites even if you own busy Internet sites with many visitors. Maximum results are accomplished if the Internet sites which use the Varnish platform also use a dedicated IP address.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can employ Varnish to boost the loading speed of any site that is hosted on a dedicated server with our company when the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed on the machine. Not only will you get the content caching platform ready to be used at no extra charge, but you will also have total control over it through Hepsia’s user-friendly interface. It’ll take only one click of the mouse to start or remove an instance or to clear the cached files for any site that’s using Varnish and in case you are more advanced, you can also check the platform’s logs. Varnish comes with no less than 3 GB of memory for caching purposes, so even in case you host multiple Internet sites on your dedicated machine and they all use the platform, the improvement in their overall performance will be detectable. You’ll only have to wait for a little while until Varnish caches whatever webpages the site visitors load on their end. The Varnish platform performs best when the websites use a dedicated IP, but owing to the fact that our dedicated servers include three free IP addresses, you’ll have all that you need.
