Varnish is a content caching platform, which is sometimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a website accelerator tool that can boost the loading speed of a website by up to one thousand percent, depending on the content itself. Each time a visitor accesses any page on a website 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 substantially faster, as the Varnish platform can deliver content many times faster than any server software. The end result will be a much faster loading page, which means an enormously improved browsing experience. If any of the cached web pages is updated on the actual Internet site, the information that Varnish keeps in its system memory is updated as well, so the visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date data.
Varnish in Cloud Website Hosting
Our company offers Varnish as an optional upgrade with each and every cloud website hosting plan and if you want to use it, you can add it to your shared hosting account using the Upgrades section in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. There are two separate things that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the system memory. The first one pertains to the number of the sites that you’d like to employ Varnish for, whereas the second, which comes in increments of 32 MB, shows the total amount of content that the platform can cache at any given time. Hepsia’s simple-to-use GUI will permit you to shut down or to reboot any instance, to check elaborate system logs or to get rid of the platform’s cache with just a click. For best results, you can employ a dedicated IP for the websites that will use the platform. With Varnish, your Internet site will load significantly faster, which means more happy site visitors and prospective clients.
Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers
The semi-dedicated plans offered by us will allow you to employ Varnish as soon as your brand new semi-dedicated server account has been opened, as the caching platform is available by default. 64 MB of system memory will be assigned to Varnish the second your account is activated, so you can take advantage of this workload distribution software as soon as your website has been launched. If you are in need of more memory, you can add 32 MB at a time from the Hepsia Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be assigned to your semi-dedicated machine instantly. You can also increase the number of the Internet sites that employ Varnish, or the so-called ‘instances’, which are not linked directly to the amount of system memory that you use, which suggests that you will enjoy more versatility. The Varnish platform will seriously lower the load on the semi-dedicated server caused by your sites, so your website visitors can enjoy fast-opening web pages. You’ll be able to manage the Varnish platform without efforts via your Control Panel using fast-access controls. You will be able to start/stop any of the instances that you’ve got, to delete the cached data associated with any of your Internet sites or to check system log files.
Varnish in VPS Servers
The Varnish caching platform comes by default with all VPS hosting plans offered by us as long as the server is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you can enhance the performance of your sites with only a few clicks. The more powerful the package, the more system memory will be available to Varnish, but even with a lower-end plan, the platform will be able to utilize several hundred MB, so even if you’ve got a number of sites, you will notice a noticeable decrease in the server load and a considerably better web page loading speed. The Varnish caching platform will need to work for a while while the users navigate the website and as soon as the site content has been cached, you’ll notice the effects. One of the upsides of employing Varnish is that a less powerful and less high-priced VPS plan will do the exact same job as a more costly one without the caching platform, so not only will your websites work significantly better, but you will also spare some money.
Varnish in Dedicated Servers
When you need a more powerful website hosting solution and you acquire any of the dedicated web hosting plans that we are offering, you’ll be able to use the Varnish content caching platform to enhance the work of your websites at no extra cost on the condition that the server is ordered with our advanced Hepsia Control Panel. Its easy-to-navigate graphical interface will allow you to monitor platform processes, to delete the cached files or to restart any instance with one click of the mouse. The minimum amount of system memory that Varnish can use to cache website content is three gigabytes, which is more than enough for a huge selection of resource-absorbing sites, so your server will be able to cope with a tremendous system load while your Internet site visitors are having a seamless browsing experience. Since your dedicated machine will come with several different dedicated IPs, you’ll be able to use Varnish’s full potential.
