Varnish

Varnish is a web application accelerator, which has been gaining a lot of popularity lately, as it can increase the speed of any site, at times even by 100 percent, based on the content. This tool is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy too and is used to reduce the overall load on the physical server and to boost the browsing speed for the site visitors. Anytime a visitor loads a page on a particular site, the web browser request is handled by the web server and the requested content is returned as a reply. If the Varnish accelerator is activated, it caches the pages that the visitor browses and if any of them is accessed again, it’s fetched by Varnish and not by the web server directly. The improvement in the overall performance comes from the fact that the accelerator processes the web requests considerably quicker than any web server, which leads to much faster browsing speeds for the users. In case any data is updated meanwhile, the cached web pages will also be updated the next time somebody tries to open them.

: Varnish in Shared Web Hosting

We offer Varnish as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux shared web hosting plan and if you wish to use it, you can add it to your web hosting account using the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. There’re two different things that can be upgraded – the instances and the system memory. The first one pertains to the number of the websites that you want to employ Varnish for and the second one, which comes in increments of 32 MB, pertains to the total amount of data that the data caching platform can store at any particular moment. Hepsia’s time and effort saving graphical interface will enable you to switch off or to restart any instance, to view elaborate logs or to clear the platform’s cache with just click of the mouse. For maximum results, you can employ a dedicated IP address for the Internet sites that will use the platform. With Varnish, your site will load significantly faster, meaning more satisfied website visitors and potential clients.; Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Varnish caching platform is part of the standard service set that you’ll obtain when you choose to host your Internet sites under a semi-dedicated server account. You can set it up for any of your websites through our innovative Hepsia Control Panel. The default amount of memory that Varnish can use to cache data is 64 megabytes, but in case you decide that you want more, you can upgrade this amount from the Control Panel’s Upgrades section. You can also upgrade the Varnish instances, i.e. the number of the sites that can use this platform at the same time. As these two things are not bound to each other, you can use a couple of websites with the default memory or you can order more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and use all of it for a single site. The Varnish platform performs best when you use a dedicated IP address for the sites that utilize its power. Hepsia will give you an easy means of rebooting any instance. What’s more, you will be able to delete the cached data with just one click.; Varnish in VPS Servers

The Varnish caching platform is included by default with all Linux VPS servers offered by us on the condition that the virtual machine is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you can boost the overall performance of your websites with only a few mouse clicks. The more powerful the package, the more system memory will be available to Varnish, but even with a less powerful plan, the platform will be able to utilize several hundred MB, so even if you own a number of websites, you’ll notice an enormous reduction in the server load and a much faster page loading speed. The platform will have to work for a little while while the users browse the site and as soon as the site content has been cached, you will perceive the effects. One of the advantages of using Varnish is that a lower-end and less high-priced plan will do the exact same job as a more pricey one without the caching platform, so not only will your websites work considerably better, but you’ll also spare some cash.; Varnish in Dedicated Servers

You can use Varnish in order to improve the loading speed of any website that is hosted on a dedicated server with our company when the Hepsia Control Panel is pre-installed on it. Not only will you get the data caching platform ready to be used at no extra fee, but you will also have total control over it through Hepsia’s easy-to-navigate graphical interface. It’ll take only a click to start or delete an instance or to clear the cache associated with any website that is using the Varnish platform and in case you’re more experienced, you can also view the platform’s logs. Varnish comes with no less than three gigabytes of memory for data caching purposes, so even in case you run an enormous number of websites on your machine and they all use the Varnish caching platform, the improvement in their overall performance will be observable. You will just need to wait for a little while until Varnish caches whatever pages the site visitors load on their end. The platform works best when the Internet sites use a dedicated IP, but since our servers come with three cost-free IPs, you’ll have everything you need.
