Varnish is a web application accelerator tool, which has been gaining a lot in popularity in recent years, as it can increase the loading speed of any site, at times even by one hundred percent, based on the content itself. This tool is sometimes referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy too and is used to reduce the overall load on the physical machine and to improve the browsing speed for the website visitors. Every time a visitor loads a page on a specific Internet site, the browser request is processed by the web server and the requested content is sent as a response. If the Varnish accelerator is enabled, it caches the pages that the website visitor browses and in case any of them is accessed once again, it is delivered by Varnish and not by the server directly. The boost in the performance is due to the fact that the accelerator handles the browser requests significantly quicker than any web server, which leads to much faster browsing speeds for the site visitors. In case any data is edited meanwhile, the cached web pages will also be updated the next time somebody accesses them.

Varnish in Cloud Hosting

Varnish is offered as an optional upgrade with all our Linux cloud hosting. You can add it to your account from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting plans and you will get an exceptionally intuitive graphical interface, which will give you complete control over the data caching system. Using one-click fast-access buttons, you can reboot or shut down any of the instances, i.e. Varnish will no longer be activated for a given website. You can also see an exhaustive log file or delete the cache for any of the Internet sites. When you add Varnish to your shared web hosting package, you’ll be able to choose the total amount of system 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 for the sites that will use Varnish. This will permit you to get the most out of your sites and to have numerous satisfied website users.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Varnish is an essential part of the basic service set that you’ll acquire in case you choose to host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account. You can configure it for any of your sites through our advanced Hepsia Control Panel. The default system memory that the Varnish caching platform can use to cache data is 64 megabytes, but in case you decide that you want more, you can upgrade this memory from the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. You can also upgrade the Varnish instances, in other words – the number of the Internet sites that can use this caching platform simultaneously. Since these two features aren’t linked to each other, you can use a couple of Internet sites with the default memory or you can order more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and use all of it for a single site. The Varnish caching platform performs best when you use a dedicated IP for the sites that utilize its power. Hepsia will offer you an easy way of rebooting any instance. On top of that, you will be able to clear the cached content with only one click.

Varnish in Dedicated Hosting

If you want a powerful website hosting solution and you order one of the Linux dedicated hosting that we’re offering, you will be able to use the Varnish platform to improve the work of your sites at no extra fee as long as the dedicated machine is ordered with our leading-edge Hepsia Control Panel. Its easy-to-use interface will permit you to keep an eye on platform processes, to delete the cached files or to restart any instance with one click of the mouse. The smallest amount of system memory that the caching platform can use to cache site content is 3 gigabytes, which is quite enough for a huge selection of frequently visited Internet sites, so your server will be able to handle an immense load while your visitors are enjoying a smooth browsing experience. As your machine will come with several different dedicated IP addresses, you’ll be able to make use of Varnish’s full capacity.
