Varnish is a web app accelerator tool, which has been gaining a lot in popularity lately, because it can increase the loading speed of any Internet site, at times even by 100 percent, depending on the content. This tool is occasionally referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy too and is used to lower the overall load on the physical server and to enhance the access speed for the site visitors. Anytime a visitor loads a page on a specific Internet site, the browser request is handled by the web server and the requested content is sent as a response. If the Varnish accelerator is enabled, it caches the web pages that the site visitor browses and if any of them is opened again, it’s served by Varnish and not by the web server directly. The boost in the performance is due to the fact that the accelerator processes the browser requests substantially quicker than any web server, which results in much faster browsing speeds for the visitors. If any content is edited in the meantime, the cached pages will also be updated the next time someone attempts to open them.
Varnish in Web Hosting
Varnish is available as an optional upgrade with all our Linux web hosting packages. You can add it to your account from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all shared web hosting packages and you will get a rather easy-to-work-with interface, which will give you full control over the data caching platform. Using one-click quick-access buttons, you can restart or turn off any of the instances, in other words – Varnish will no longer work for a particular site. You can also view an elaborate log or clear the cache for any of the sites. When you add Varnish to your shared hosting package, you will be able to choose the total amount of memory that will be at your disposal for data caching purposes and how many websites will use Varnish. You can always order more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and, for optimum performance, you can set a dedicated IP for the websites that will use Varnish. This will allow you to get the most out of your Internet sites and to have plenty of gratified site visitors.
Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The semi-dedicated hosting packages that we’re offering will permit you to employ Varnish as soon as your new account has been activated, as the platform is offered by default. 64 MB of system memory will be allocated to Varnish the moment your account is activated, so you can make use of this workload distribution software once your website has been taken online. In case you are in need of more memory, you can get 32 MB at a time from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Upgrades section and it will be allocated to your semi-dedicated server immediately. You can also increase the number of the Internet sites that employ Varnish, or the so-called ‘instances’, which are not directly linked to the amount of memory that you use, which means that you will have more flexibility. The Varnish platform will seriously reduce the load on the semi-dedicated machine produced by your websites, so your visitors can enjoy fast-opening web pages. You will be able to manage the Varnish platform without effort via the Hepsia Control Panel using fast-access buttons. You’ll be able to start/delete any of the instances that you have, to clear the cached data associated with any of your websites or to view system logs.
Varnish in VPS Web Hosting
Varnish is included by default with all Linux VPS web hosting offered by us on the condition that the virtual machine is ordered with the Hepsia hosting 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 less powerful package, the platform will be able to utilize several hundred megabytes, so even if you own a handful of sites, you’ll notice a significant reduction in the server load and a substantially better web page load speed. The Varnish platform will have to work for a little while as the visitors browse the site and as soon as the site content has been cached, you will see the effects. One of the advantages of employing Varnish is that a less powerful and less pricey VPS plan will do the same job as a more high-priced one without the platform, so not only will your sites perform much better, but you will also save a certain amount of cash.
Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If you want a more powerful hosting solution and you buy any of the Linux dedicated servers hosting that we’re offering, you’ll be able to use the Varnish data caching platform to boost the overall performance of your sites at no additional fee as long as the dedicated machine is ordered with our avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel. Its simple-to-navigate GUI will allow you to keep track of system processes, to clear the cached data or to restart any instance with one click of the mouse. The minimal amount of system memory that the Varnish platform can use to cache site content is 3 GB, which is more than enough for a huge selection of resource-demanding sites, so your server will be able to cope with a substantial load while your Internet site visitors are enjoying a smooth browsing experience. Since your dedicated server will come with a number of dedicated IP addresses, you will be able to use Varnish’s maximum capacity.
