Varnish is a web app accelerator platform, which caches info for the sake of faster access. It is occasionally called an HTTP reverse proxy too and it interacts between a web server and an Internet browser. When a website visitor accesses a particular webpage, the content is requested by the web browser, and then the web server handles this browser request and sends back the required information. If Varnish is enabled for a certain site, it will cache the pages on the first request and in case the user accesses a cached page for a second time, the info will be delivered by the caching platform and not by the server. The improved loading speed is an end result of the much faster response time that the Varnish platform offers compared to any web server software. At the same time, this does not mean that the users will keep being served the very same content over and over again, as any update on any of the pages is reflected in the content that the Varnish platform caches in its system memory.
Varnish in Shared Website Hosting
Varnish comes as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux shared website hosting packages. You can add it to your web hosting account from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared plans and you will get a pretty intuitive graphical interface, which will grant you complete control over the data caching platform. Using one-click fast-access controls, you can restart or disable any of the instances, i.e. Varnish will no longer be enabled for a certain website. You can also see a detailed log or erase the cache associated with any of the Internet sites. When you add Varnish to your shared hosting package, you will be able to select the total amount of memory that will be at your disposal for content caching purposes and the number of the sites that will use Varnish. You can always order more memory in increments of 32 MB and, for optimal performance, you can assign a dedicated IP to the sites that will use Varnish. This will permit you to get the most out of your sites and to have numerous happy visitors.
Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated packages come with Varnish by default, so you can take full advantage of the accelerator and accelerate the loading speed of any website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. You’ll get 64 MB of system memory exclusively for the Varnish accelerator at no additional cost and you’ll be able to create an instance with no more than a couple of mouse clicks via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated plans. In case you need more memory, the latter is offered in increments of 32 megabytes through the Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be available to you immediately. You can also order more instances as an upgrade, so you can decide if a lot of data will be cached for one website or if the memory will be utilized by different sites. Hepsia will enable you to reboot or to delete any instance, to view the system log file for it or to clear the cached data using 1-click buttons. To get the most out of Varnish, you can get a dedicated IP for the Internet sites which will employ it.
Varnish in VPS Web Hosting
We provide Varnish with all of the Hepsia-managed Linux VPS web hosting packages, so if you order a VPS with this web hosting Control Panel, you will be able to use the data caching platform at no extra cost. Varnish can utilize different amounts of system memory for content caching purposes based on the particular server configuration that you have picked during the signup procedure, but at any rate, this amount will not be less than several hundred MB. This is more than enough to boost the overall performance of several different traffic-hungry websites, so the better page browsing speeds and the lowered load on the Virtual Private Server will be perceivable. The result may not be visible immediately, as the Varnish platform will need a certain amount of time to cache the site content that people access, but soon after you enable it, you will observe its full potential. This platform will permit you to use a less powerful VPS and to give less money to get the same performance you’d get with a higher-end machine without Varnish.
Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting
All Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are ordered with the custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel feature Varnish, which is among the pre-installed software platforms that you’ll get with the server. The Varnish content caching platform can be configured and managed without efforts via the Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-navigate graphical interface and, with no more than one single click of the mouse, you can check a comprehensive log, create or reboot an instance, clear the cached data associated with any website and much more. Shortly after you enable the Varnish platform for a certain domain or subdomain, it will begin caching the pages requested by your website visitors and once it has cached enough content, you will perceive a tremendously faster website performance and a lowered load on the server. With Varnish-dedicated memory starting at 3 gigabytes, you’ll be able to use the software platform for load balancing purposes even if you host a large number of websites on the server.
