Varnish is a content caching platform, which is occasionally referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a website accelerator tool that can boost the loading speed of a site by up to one thousand percent, depending on the content itself. 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 if the visitor opens it again. Thus, the browser request from the visitor is not processed by the server and the web page will open considerably faster, since Varnish can serve data many times faster than any server software. The result is a significantly faster loading website, which means a greatly improved website browsing experience. When any of the cached webpages is updated on the actual Internet site, the information that Varnish caches in its system memory is ‘refreshed’ too, so the visitors will never see old information.

Varnish in Shared Hosting

Varnish is available as an optional upgrade with each Linux shared hosting package and if you wish to use it, you can add it to your web hosting account through the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. There’re two different things that can be upgraded – the instances and the memory. The first one depends on the number of the websites that you’d like to use Varnish for and the second one, which is offered in increments of 32 MB, displays the total amount of content that the content caching platform can cache at any particular moment. Hepsia’s simple-to-use GUI will allow you to deactivate or to restart any instance, to see comprehensive logs or to clear the platform’s cache with just one click. For optimum results, you can use a dedicated IP for the Internet sites that will use the caching platform. With Varnish, your website will open substantially faster, meaning more happy site visitors and prospective customers.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The semi-dedicated packages that we offer will allow you to employ Varnish once your new semi-dedicated server account is active, since the platform is available by default. 64 megabytes of system memory will be assigned to Varnish the moment your account is enabled, so you can make use of this workload distribution software as soon as your website has been taken online. If you are in need of more system memory, you can order 32 megabytes at a time from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be allocated to your semi-dedicated machine in an instant. You can also increase the number of the Internet sites that employ Varnish, or the so-called ‘instances’, which are not directly bound to the amount of memory that you use, which means that you will enjoy more flexibility. The caching platform will noticeably lower the load that your sites produce, so your visitors can enjoy fast-loading web pages. You’ll be able to manage the Varnish platform effortlessly from your Control Panel using quick-access buttons. You’ll be able to start/disable any of the instances that you’ve got, to clear the cache associated with any of your websites or to check system log files.

Varnish in VPS Web Hosting

The Varnish content caching platform comes by default with all Linux VPS web hosting offered by our company on the condition that the Virtual Private Server is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you can enhance the overall performance of your websites with just a few clicks. The more powerful the package, the more system memory Varnish will have at its disposal, but even with a less powerful plan, the platform will be able to utilize several hundred MB, so even if you run several different Internet sites, you will notice an enormous reduction in the overall server load and a substantially faster website load speed. The Varnish platform will have to work for a while while the users browse the web pages and once the site content has been cached, you’ll notice the effects. One of the advantages of using Varnish is that a less powerful and less pricey package will do the exact same job as a more expensive one without the platform, so not only will your Internet sites work considerably better, but you will also spare some cash.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can use Varnish to enhance the load speed of any website that is hosted on a dedicated server with us if the Hepsia Control Panel is pre-installed on the machine. Not only will you get the caching platform ready for use at no extra fee, but you’ll also have complete control over it via the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-navigate graphical interface. It will take only one single click to start or stop an instance or to clear the cached content associated with any website that is using the Varnish platform and in case you are more tech-savvy, you can also view the platform’s system logs. Varnish comes with no less than three gigabytes of system memory for content caching purposes, so even if you host a lot of websites on your machine and they all use the platform, the difference in their overall performance will be noticeable. You’ll only need to wait for a while until Varnish caches whatever web pages the website visitors load on their end. The Varnish platform works best if the Internet sites use a dedicated IP, but due to the fact that our dedicated servers come with 3 free-of-cost IP addresses, you’ll have everything you need.
