Varnish is a data caching platform, which is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web application accelerator that can boost the speed of a website by up to 1000%, based on its content. Each time a visitor accesses 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 processed by the server and the web page will open considerably faster, since the Varnish caching platform can deliver content many times faster than any web server software. The result is a much faster loading site, which leads to a greatly improved visitor experience. If any of the cached webpages is updated on the actual website, the information that Varnish stores in its system memory is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the visitors will never see old info.
Varnish in Cloud Hosting
Varnish comes as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux cloud hosting. You can add it to your hosting account through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared web hosting plans and you’ll get a rather simple-to-work-with GUI, which will grant you full control over the content caching platform. Using one-click quick-access buttons, you can reboot or turn off any of the instances, i.e. Varnish will no longer work for a specific site. You can also view an exhaustive system log or clear the cache for any of the websites. When you add Varnish to your shared web hosting package, you will be able to select the maximum amount of memory that will be at your disposal for data caching purposes and the number of the websites that will use Varnish. You can always get more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and, for optimal performance, you can assign a dedicated IP address to the websites that will use Varnish. This will enable you to get the most out of your sites and to have lots of pleased users.
Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages that we’re offering will allow you to employ Varnish once your brand new account is active, since the data caching platform is available by default. 64 megabytes of system memory will be allocated to Varnish the second your account is activated, so you can take advantage of this workload balancing software as soon as your website has been built. If you’re in need of more memory, you can add 32 MB at a time from the Upgrades section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it will be allocated to your semi-dedicated machine straight away. You can also increase the number of the sites that use Varnish, or the so-called ‘instances’, which are not directly linked to the amount of system memory that you use, which suggests that you will have more versatility. The caching platform will substantially reduce the load generated by your sites, so your site visitors can enjoy fast-loading web pages. You’ll be able to manage Varnish without effort through your Control Panel using fast-access controls. You’ll be able to start/stop any of the instances that you’ve got, to delete the cached data associated with any of your Internet sites or to check system logs.
Varnish in VPS
You can use the workload balancing capabilities of Varnish with any of our Linux VPS packages when you pick Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel. The Varnish platform is available by default and the system memory that it’ll be able to use to cache your website content depends on the specific VPS plan that you’ve picked, but even with the less powerful packages, you’ll have at least several hundred megabytes of system memory at your disposal only for content caching purposes. This amount is enough to boost the performance of multiple websites. It will take a little time for you to see the results, since the Varnish platform caches the content that visitors browse, but soon after that you’ll notice the considerably reduced load on the Virtual Private Server and the improved Internet site browsing speed. Varnish will permit you to use a lower-end package for Internet sites that would usually need a more pricey hosting service.
Varnish in Dedicated Hosting
When you need a powerful website hosting solution and you obtain any of the Linux dedicated hosting offered by our company, you can use Varnish to boost the work of your Internet sites at no extra fee on the condition that the server is ordered with our avant-garde Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Its easy-to-work-with GUI will permit you to keep an eye on platform processes, to clear the cache or to reboot any instance with one single mouse click. The minimal amount of memory that Varnish can employ to cache Internet site content is 3 GB, which is quite enough for an enormous selection of traffic-intensive websites, so your dedicated server will be able to deal with a gigantic system load while your website visitors are enjoying a smooth browsing experience. As your dedicated server will include a number of dedicated IP addresses, you will be able to use Varnish’s full capacity.
