Varnish is a web accelerator tool, which has been gaining a lot in popularity in recent years, because it can increase the speed of any website, at times even by 100%, depending on the content itself. This tool is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy too and is used to lower the overall load on the server and to accelerate the access speed for the site visitors. Each time a visitor loads a page on a particular website, the browser request is taken care of by the web server and the requested content is served as a response. If the Varnish accelerator is activated, it caches the pages that the site visitor opens and if any of them is opened once again, it is served by Varnish and not by the web server directly. The increase in the performance comes from the fact that the accelerator processes the web requests considerably faster than any web server, which leads to much faster browsing speeds for the visitors. If any data is updated in the meantime, the cached web pages will also be updated the next time someone tries to open them.

Varnish in Shared Hosting

We offer Varnish as an optional upgrade with each Linux shared hosting and if you’d like to use it, you can add it to your website hosting account through the Upgrades section in your Hepsia 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 wish to employ Varnish for, whereas the second, which is available in increments of 32 megabytes, pertains to the maximum amount of data that the platform can store at any given time. The Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-use interface will permit you to delete or to restart any instance, to check comprehensive logs or to get rid of the platform’s cache with just one click. For optimum results, you can use a dedicated IP for the sites that will use the platform. With Varnish, your site will load significantly faster, meaning more satisfied site visitors and potential clients.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

Varnish is a feature, which comes by default with all semi-dedicated hosting plans that we are offering and you can use it for workload distribution purposes. It’s available in your Hepsia Control Panel. The caching platform comes with 64 megabytes of system memory for cached data storing purposes and you can use it with any website that you host in your account. If you are in need of more than that, you can increase the memory allocation. The memory itself is offered in increments of 32 MB in the Control Panel’s Upgrades section. The very same Upgrades section will permit you to add more instances as well, in case you want to use the Varnish caching platform with multiple sites. The two things can be added separately – you can cache the content of a single traffic-consuming site or run several different Internet sites with the default memory. You can take full advantage of the Varnish platform in case you’ve got a dedicated IP and you can order one with your semi-dedicated server plan as well. The Hepsia Control Panel will give you complete control over the caching platform and, with no more than one click, you will be able to delete the cache, to view a system log file or to restart an instance.

Varnish in VPS Servers

You can take advantage of Varnish with any of our VPS server plans at no additional cost, since the caching platform is pre-installed and is included by default. The sole prerequisite is that the VPS server must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll be able to set up Varnish for any of your Internet sites with just a few mouse clicks. Each Virtual Private Server package offers a different amount of system memory for caching purposes, but you’ll have minimum several hundred MB, which is quite sufficient even for several resource-hungry sites. Soon after you set up the Varnish platform, it will begin caching the content that your site visitors browse, so you’ll notice the considerably faster website load speeds and the lowered load on the server very soon. The Varnish platform will permit you to use a less costly VPS server, since you will not need that many resources to warrant the proper operation of your Internet sites even if you manage high-demand sites with multiple visitors. Maximum results are achieved if the websites which use the Varnish platform also use a dedicated IP.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

If you want a more powerful website hosting solution and you acquire any of the Linux dedicated servers offered by our company, you’ll be able to use the Varnish caching platform to optimize the overall performance of your sites at no extra charge on the condition that the dedicated machine is ordered with our avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel. Its intuitive interface will enable you to monitor system processes, to delete the cached content or to reboot any instance with one single click. The minimal amount of memory that the platform can use to cache content is 3 gigabytes, which is more than enough for an enormous number of traffic-hungry Internet sites, so your server will be able to handle a huge system load while your Internet site visitors are having a seamless web browsing experience. As your server will include a number of dedicated IPs, you will be able to make use of Varnish’s full capacity.
