Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally called a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a web accelerator tool that can improve the loading speed of a site by up to one thousand percent, depending on its content. Every 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 in case the visitor opens it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not processed by the server and the web page will load much faster, as the Varnish platform can serve information many times faster than any web server software. The end result will be a much faster loading site, which leads to an enormously improved browsing experience. In case any of the cached pages is updated on the actual Internet site, the information that Varnish keeps in its system memory is updated too, so the website visitors will never end up seeing old information.

Varnish in Shared Hosting

Varnish is offered as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux shared hosting packages. You can add it to your account through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is available with all shared hosting packages and you’ll get a really intuitive GUI, which will give you complete control over the caching platform. Using 1-click quick-access controls, you can reboot or discontinue any of the instances, in other words – Varnish will no longer be activated for a particular site. You can also view a detailed system log file or erase the cache for any of the websites. When you add Varnish to your shared web hosting package, you will be able to select the maximum amount of system memory that will be at your disposal for caching purposes and how many sites will use Varnish. You can always order more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and, for optimum performance, you can allocate a dedicated IP address to the websites that will use Varnish. This will permit you to get the most out of your Internet sites and to have plenty of satisfied visitors.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages include Varnish by default, so you can make full use of the web accelerator tool and increase the loading speed of any site that you host on our platform. You will get 64 MB of system memory dedicated to Varnish at no additional cost and you’ll be able to enable an instance with no more than a few mouse clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with the semi-dedicated plans. If you need more memory, the latter is available in increments of 32 megabytes through the Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be at your disposal immediately. You can also order more instances as a separate upgrade, so you can decide if plenty of content will be cached for a single site or if the memory will be utilized by several websites. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to reboot or to deactivate any instance, to see the system log associated with it or to delete the cached data using 1-click controls. To take full advantage of Varnish, you can set a dedicated IP for the websites which will employ it.

Varnish in VPS

We offer Varnish with all Hepsia-equipped Linux VPS packages, so if you order a server with this Control Panel, you will be able to make use of the caching platform at no extra cost. Varnish can use different amounts of system memory for data caching purposes depending on the particular Virtual Private Server plan that you have picked on the order page, but nevertheless, this amount will not be less than several hundred MB. This is more than enough to improve the overall performance of a handful of resource-absorbing Internet sites, so the better web page load speeds and the reduced load on your Virtual Private Server will be perceivable. The effect may not be apparent immediately, since the Varnish platform will need a certain amount of time to cache the content that users access, but shortly after you activate it, you will observe its full potential. This caching platform will permit you to use a lower-end server and to pay less cash to get the same performance you’d get with a higher-end machine without Varnish.
