Varnish is a website accelerator platform, which caches data for the sake of faster response times. It’s occasionally called a caching HTTP reverse proxy as well and it works between a web server and a web browser. When a site visitor loads a given page, its content is requested by the browser, and then the web server processes this request and delivers the necessary content. If Varnish is activated for a specific site, it will cache its pages on the very first visit and in case the visitor opens a cached page once more, the data will be delivered by the accelerator platform and not by the web server. The accelerated speed is an end result of the much faster response time that Varnish offers compared with any server software. Of course, this does not mean that the site visitors will keep being served the exact same content over and over again, as any change on any of the web pages is reflected in the content that the Varnish platform keeps in its system memory.

Varnish in Cloud Website Hosting

You can unleash Varnish’s full potential and accelerate the load speed of your websites regardless of the cloud website hosting package that you have picked and you can enable and set up the platform with several clicks via the user-friendly graphical interface offered by our next-gen Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you will be able to choose two separate things – how many sites will employ the Varnish platform, in other words – the number of instances, and how much content will be cached, i.e. the amount of memory. The latter comes in increments of 32 MB and is not bound to the number of instances, so you can add more instances with less memory and vice versa. In case you have plenty of content on a specific website and you win a lot of site visitors, more memory will give you a better result. You may also consider using a dedicated IP address for the websites that will use the Varnish platform. The Hepsia Control Panel will provide you with easy one-click controls for deleting or rebooting any instance, for deleting the cache for each website and for checking comprehensive system logs.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service come with Varnish by default, so you can make use of the website accelerator and improve the load speed of any site that you host on our platform. You’ll get 64 MB of system memory particularly for the Varnish accelerator at no additional charge and you’ll be able to enable an instance with no more than a few mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is included with the semi-dedicated plans. In case you want more memory, the latter is offered in increments of 32 megabytes in the Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be available to you instantly. You can also add more instances as a separate upgrade, so you can choose whether plenty of content will be cached for one site or whether the memory will be used by multiple sites. Hepsia will allow you to restart or to terminate any instance, to check the system log for it or to clear the cached data using 1-click buttons. To get the most out of Varnish, you can assign a dedicated IP to the sites that will use it.

Varnish in VPS Servers

You can take advantage of Varnish with any of our VPS server packages at no additional fee, since the caching platform is pre-installed and is available by default. The sole condition is that the VPS server must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll be able to set up Varnish for any of your sites with only a couple of clicks of the mouse. Each plan features a different amount of memory for content caching purposes, but you’ll have at least several hundred megabytes, which is quite sufficient even for multiple traffic-hungry Internet sites. Shortly after you activate Varnish, it will start caching the content that your visitors access, so you will notice the significantly better Internet site load speeds and the lowered load on the server in no time. The caching platform will allow you to use a less costly virtual machine, since you won’t require that much power to warrant the correct operation of your websites even if you’ve got popular Internet sites with a lot of visitors. Best results are achieved if the Internet sites which use the Varnish platform use also a dedicated IP.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

When you want a powerful web hosting solution and you acquire any of the Linux dedicated service that we are offering, you will be able to use the Varnish data caching platform to improve the overall performance of your websites at no additional charge on the condition that the dedicated server is ordered with our next-gen Hepsia Control Panel. Its simple-to-use graphical interface will permit you to keep track of platform processes, to clear the cached content or to reboot any instance with one click. The smallest amount of system memory that the Varnish platform can employ to cache site content is three gigabytes, which is quite enough for a vast number of repeatedly visited sites, so your dedicated server will be able to cope with an immense load while your website visitors are having a seamless browsing experience. As your server will come with several dedicated IPs, you will be able to use Varnish’s maximum potential.
