Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web accelerator that can boost the loading speed of a site by up to 1000 percent, based on its content. Whenever 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 accesses it again. Thus, the browser request from the visitor is not handled by the server and the web page will open substantially faster, since the Varnish platform can serve data many times faster than any web server software. The end result will be a considerably faster loading page, which means a greatly improved browsing experience. In case any of the cached web pages is updated on the actual website, the data that Varnish caches in its system memory is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the visitors won’t end up seeing out-of-date information.

Varnish in Web Hosting

Varnish comes as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux web hosting packages. You can add it to your web hosting account through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is available with all shared plans and you’ll get a really easy-to-work-with interface, which will give you complete control over the content caching platform. Using one-click fast-access controls, you can restart or deactivate any of the instances, in other words – Varnish will no longer be activated for a certain Internet site. You can also see a comprehensive log file or erase the cache associated with any of the sites. When you add Varnish to your hosting package, you will be able to select the maximum amount of memory that will be at your disposal for data caching purposes and the number of the websites that will use Varnish. You can always get more memory in increments of 32 MB and, for top performance, you can set a dedicated IP for the sites that will use Varnish. This will allow you to get the most out of your sites and to have plenty of happy site users.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can use Varnish in order to improve the loading speed of any site that is hosted on a dedicated server with us when the Hepsia Control Panel is installed on it. Not only will you get the caching platform ready for use at no additional cost, but you will also have full control over it via Hepsia’s simple-to-use interface. It’ll take just one click of the mouse to start or discontinue an instance or to clear the cached files for any website that is using Varnish and if you are more proficient, you can also check the platform’s system logs. Varnish comes with no less than 3 gigabytes of system memory for website content caching purposes, so even in case you host lots of Internet sites on your dedicated server and they all use the Varnish platform, the improvement in their performance will be distinguishable. You will just need to wait for a little while till Varnish caches whatever content the visitors open on their end. The Varnish platform performs best if the Internet sites use a dedicated IP, but since our dedicated servers come with 3 free-of-cost IP addresses, you will have all that you need.
