Varnish is a web application accelerator, which has been gaining a lot of popularity lately, as it can increase the load speed of any Internet site, at times even by 100 percent, depending on the content itself. This tool is sometimes referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy as well and is used to lower the overall load on the physical machine and to increase the access speed for the website visitors. Whenever a visitor loads a page on a specific Internet site, the web browser request is handled by the web server and the requested data is sent as a response. If Varnish is enabled, it caches the pages that the site visitor opens and if any of them is opened once more, it is delivered by Varnish and not by the web server directly. The improvement in the performance is due to the fact that the accelerator handles the web requests significantly faster than any web server, which leads to much faster browsing speeds for the users. In case any content is edited in the meantime, the cached web pages will also be updated the next time somebody tries to open them.

Varnish in Cloud Hosting

Varnish comes as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux cloud hosting and if you wish to use it, you can add it to your hosting account using the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. There are two separate things that can be upgraded – the instances and the system memory. The first one pertains to the number of the websites that you want to use Varnish for, whereas the second, which is available in increments of 32 megabytes, displays the total amount of content that the platform can store at any given time. The Hepsia Control Panel’s time and effort saving interface will permit you to disable or to reboot any instance, to see detailed logs or to erase the platform’s cache with just one mouse click. For optimal results, you can use a dedicated IP address for the sites that will use the platform. With Varnish, your Internet site will load considerably faster, which means more happy users and prospective clients.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting include Varnish by default, so you can use the web accelerator and increase the loading speed of any site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. You’ll get 64 megabytes of system memory dedicated to Varnish at no additional fee and you will be able to enable an instance with no more than a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with the semi-dedicated packages. In case you want more memory, the latter is offered in increments of 32 megabytes in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel and it will be at your disposal right away. You can also add more instances as a separate upgrade, so you can choose if lots of content will be cached for one site or if the available memory will be utilized by multiple Internet sites. The Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to restart or to terminate any instance, to see the system log file for it or to delete the cached content using one-click controls. To take full advantage of Varnish, you can get a dedicated IP for the sites which will use it.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

Varnish is included by default with each of the Linux VPS web hosting offered by us as long as the machine is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you can boost the overall performance of your websites with just a few clicks. The more powerful the plan, the more system memory Varnish will have at its disposal, but even with a less powerful plan, the caching platform will be able to utilize several hundred megabytes, so even if you own several different sites, you’ll notice an immense reduction in the overall server load and a much better site loading speed. The platform will need to work for a little while while the users browse the pages and once the website content has been cached, you will notice the effects. One of the advantages of using Varnish is that a less powerful and less expensive VPS package will accomplish the exact same job as a more pricey one without the caching platform, so not only will your websites perform substantially better, but you will also spare some cash.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

All Linux dedicated servers hosting which are ordered with the custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with Varnish, which is one of the pre-installed platforms that you will get with the server. The Varnish data caching platform can be configured and administered effortlessly via Hepsia’s simple-to-navigate interface and, with no more than one single click, you can see a comprehensive system log, add or restart an instance, delete the cache associated with any website and much more. Soon after you set up Varnish for a given domain or sub-domain, it will start caching the web pages requested by the website visitors and as soon as it has cached enough content, you will witness a considerably better website performance plus a lowered load on your dedicated server. With Varnish-dedicated system memory starting at 3 gigabytes, you’ll be able to use the platform for workload balancing purposes even if you run an enormous number of Internet sites on the server.
