Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It is a website accelerator that can improve the load speed of a website by up to 1000%, based on its content. Each time a visitor accesses any page on a website that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server when the visitor accesses it again. Thus, the web browser request from the visitor is not processed by the web server and the page will load considerably faster, as the Varnish caching platform can deliver information many times faster than any web server software. The result will be a substantially faster loading site, which means an immensely improved website browsing experience. If any of the cached web pages is updated on the actual Internet site, the content that Varnish saves in its memory is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the website visitors will not end up seeing out-of-date information.
Varnish in Web Hosting
Varnish is offered as an optional upgrade with each of our web hosting plans. You can add it to your account from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is available with all shared hosting plans and you’ll get a truly simple-to-work-with GUI, which will grant you complete control over the content caching system. Using 1-click fast-access buttons, you can reboot or remove any of the instances, i.e. Varnish will no longer be enabled for a given site. You can also see an elaborate system log or clear the cache associated with any of the Internet sites. When you add Varnish to your hosting plan, you will be able to select the total amount of memory that will be at your disposal for caching purposes and how many websites will use Varnish. You can always add more memory in increments of 32 MB and, for top performance, you can assign a dedicated IP to the sites that will use Varnish. This will enable you to get the most out of your websites and to have plenty of happy website users.
Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers
Varnish comes by default with all semi-dedicated servers offered by our company and you can use it for workload distribution purposes. It is available in your Hepsia Control Panel. The Varnish platform comes with 64 megabytes of system memory for cached data storing purposes and you can use it with any Internet site that you host in your semi-dedicated server account. In case you need more, you can increase the system memory allowance. The memory itself is available in increments of 32 megabytes through the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. The very same section will permit you to add more instances too, if you want to use the Varnish caching platform with multiple websites. The two upgrades can be ordered separately – you can cache the content of one resource-absorbing website or use several different websites with the default memory quota. You can get the most out of the Varnish platform if you use a dedicated IP and you can get one with your semi-dedicated server plan as well. Hepsia will grant you full control over the platform and, with no more than a click, you’ll be able to delete the cached contents, to see a log file or to reboot an instance.
Varnish in VPS Servers
You can use Varnish with all our VPS server plans at no extra charge, since the data caching platform is pre-installed and is included by default. The one and only condition is that the VPS must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, through which you will be able to set up Varnish for any of your sites with only a couple of mouse clicks. Each Virtual Private Server plan offers a different amount of memory for data caching purposes, but you’ll have no less than several hundred MB, which is sufficient enough even for multiple traffic-hungry websites. Shortly after you activate Varnish, it’ll begin caching the content that your site visitors access, so you’ll notice the significantly faster webpage loading speeds and the less load on the machine in no time. The Varnish platform will permit you to use a less pricey virtual machine, as you won’t need that much power to guarantee the correct operation of your Internet sites even if you manage large-sized Internet sites with many visitors. Best results are achieved if the sites which use Varnish also use a dedicated IP address.
Varnish in Dedicated Servers
When you want a powerful website hosting solution and you order one of the dedicated web hosting plans that we’re offering, you’ll be able to use Varnish to enhance the work of your Internet sites at no additional cost on the condition that the server is ordered with our cutting-edge Hepsia Control Panel. Its simple-to-work-with interface will enable you to monitor platform processes, to clear the cached files or to restart any instance with one click of the mouse. The smallest amount of system memory that the Varnish caching platform can use to cache website content is three gigabytes, which is quite enough for an immense number of busy sites, so your server will be able to deal with a huge load while your Internet site visitors are having a seamless web browsing experience. As your dedicated server will come with several different dedicated IPs, you’ll be able to use Varnish’s full capacity.
