Varnish is a website accelerator platform, which caches data for the sake of faster response times. It’s sometimes called a caching HTTP reverse proxy as well and it interacts between a web server and its users. When a site visitor opens a given webpage, its content is requested by the Internet browser, and then the web server processes this browser request and sends back the necessary information. If Varnish is activated for a certain website, it will cache its pages at the first visit and in case the visitor visits a cached page again, the data will be delivered by the accelerator platform and not by the web server. The accelerated speed is an end result of the considerably faster response time that the Varnish platform offers compared to any web server software. At the same time, this does not mean that the users will keep seeing the same content over and over again, because any modification on any of the web pages is reflected in the content that Varnish stores in its system memory.

Varnish in Cloud Hosting

In case you host your Internet sites under a cloud hosting account with our company, you will be able to activate Varnish with a few clicks through your Control Panel. The platform is available as an optional upgrade with all our shared hosting plans and you can choose the number of the websites that will use it and the total storage space that will be used for the cached content. The two features that can be upgraded in the Control Panel’s Upgrades section are the amount of memory and the number of instances and they aren’t directly linked to each other, so you can decide whether you want plenty of memory for one single large website or less memory for several smaller ones. You can unleash the full potential of Varnish if the websites use a dedicated IP address. With the Control Panel, you can quickly start/reboot/disable an instance, delete the cached contents independently for each site which employs Varnish or see an elaborate system log.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we are offering will allow you to use Varnish once your new semi-dedicated account has been created, as the content caching platform comes by default. 64 megabytes of system memory will be assigned to Varnish the moment your account is activated, so you can make use of this load balancing software as soon as your site has been taken online. In case you’re in need of more system memory, you can get 32 megabytes at a time from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be assigned to your semi-dedicated machine in a flash. You can also increase the number of the websites that use Varnish, or the so-called ‘instances’, which are not bound directly to the amount of memory that you use, which suggests that you’ll have more versatility. The caching platform will significantly reduce the server load that your sites produce, so your site visitors can enjoy fast-opening web pages. You’ll be able to manage the Varnish caching platform with no effort via the Hepsia Control Panel using quick-access buttons. You will be able to start/disable any of the instances that you’ve got, to delete the cached content for any of your websites or to see system logs.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

You can take full advantage of the load balancing potential of Varnish with any of our Linux VPS web hosting when you pick Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel. The Varnish content caching platform is available by default and the memory that it’ll be able to utilize to cache the content of your websites depends on the specific package that you’ve chosen, but even with the less powerful plans, you will have at least several hundred MB of system memory at your disposal exclusively for caching purposes. This amount is enough to enhance the performance of numerous websites. It will take some time for you to distinguish the effects, since the Varnish platform caches the content that visitors access, but shortly thereafter you’ll notice the considerably lowered load on your virtual machine and the enhanced site loading speed. Varnish will permit you to make use of a lower-end VPS plan for Internet sites that would usually require a more pricey hosting service.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you need the most powerful website hosting solution and you acquire one of the Linux dedicated servers hosting that we offer, you can use the Varnish platform to enhance the work of your Internet sites at no additional fee as long as the dedicated machine is ordered with our innovative Hepsia Control Panel. Its user-friendly graphical interface will permit you to keep an eye on platform processes, to clear the cached data or to restart any instance with one click. The minimum amount of system memory that the platform can use to cache content is 3 GB, which is quite enough for a large collection of regularly visited Internet sites, so your dedicated server will be able to cope with a massive system load while your site visitors are having a smooth web browsing experience. As your server will come with a number of dedicated IP addresses, you’ll be able to use Varnish’s maximum potential.
