Varnish is a web accelerator platform, which caches info for faster access. It is occasionally called an HTTP reverse proxy as well and it works between a web server and a web browser. When a website visitor accesses a certain webpage, its content is requested by the Internet browser, and then the server handles this request and delivers the requested info. If Varnish is enabled for a certain website, it will cache its pages on the first visit and if the visitor accesses a cached page once more, the content will be delivered by the accelerator platform instead of the server. The increased load speed is an end result of the considerably faster response time that Varnish offers compared with any server software. Of course, this does not mean that the users will keep seeing the exact same content over and over again, as any modification on any of the web pages is reflected in the content that Varnish saves in its memory.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

All our Linux semi-dedicated servers include Varnish by default, so you can take advantage of the website accelerator and improve the loading speed of any site that you host on our platform. You will get 64 megabytes of memory exclusively for Varnish at no additional charge and you will be able to enable an instance with no more than a few mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with the semi-dedicated plans. If you want more memory, the latter is available in increments of 32 MB in the Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be available to you straight away. You can also order more instances as an upgrade, so you can decide if plenty of content will be cached for one site or whether the available memory will be used by multiple websites. Hepsia will enable you to restart or to delete any instance, to see the system log for it or to delete the cached files using one-click buttons. To get the most out of the Varnish accelerator, you can assign a dedicated IP to the sites which will employ it.

Varnish in VPS Servers

You can use the load balancing potential of Varnish with any of our Linux VPS service if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. The Varnish data caching platform comes by default and the system memory that it’ll be able to utilize to cache the content of your sites depends on the specific plan that you’ve picked, but even with the lower-end plans, you’ll have at least several hundred megabytes of system memory at your disposal only for content caching purposes. This amount is sufficient enough to boost the performance of numerous websites. It will take some time for you to detect the results, since the Varnish platform caches the content that site visitors open, but soon after that you will notice the substantially reduced load and the enhanced Internet site browsing speed. Varnish will allow you to make use of a less powerful Virtual Private Server package for Internet sites which would typically require a more expensive web hosting solution.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

When you want a more powerful web hosting solution and you purchase any of the dedicated service offered by us, you’ll be able to use the Varnish platform to optimize the performance of your websites at no additional fee as long as the dedicated machine is ordered with our avant-garde Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Its simple-to-use graphical interface will enable you to keep an eye on platform processes, to delete the cached content or to reboot any instance with one click of the mouse. The smallest amount of memory that the Varnish caching platform can use to cache website content is three gigabytes, which is more than enough for a vast number of heavy websites, so your server will be able to handle an enormous system load while your Internet site visitors are enjoying a seamless web browsing experience. As your server will include several different dedicated IPs, you’ll be able to make use of Varnish’s full potential.
