Varnish is a web app accelerator, which has been gaining a lot of popularity in recent years, because it can increase the load speed of any website, sometimes even by 100 percent, depending on the content itself. This tool is sometimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy as well and is used to reduce the overall load on the physical machine and to accelerate the browsing speed for the website visitors. Every time a visitor accesses a page on a particular Internet site, the web browser request is handled by the web server and the requested content is served as a reply. If Varnish is enabled, it caches the pages that the site visitor browses and in case any of them is opened again, it is fetched by Varnish and not by the server directly. The performance improvement comes from the fact that the accelerator processes the web requests significantly faster than any web server, which leads to much faster browsing speeds for the users. If any data is changed in the meantime, the cached pages will also be updated the next time somebody tries to access them.

Varnish in Shared Web Hosting

Our company offers Varnish as an optional upgrade with each and every shared web hosting plan and if you wish to use it, you can add it to your shared hosting account via the Upgrades section in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. There are two different features that can be upgraded – the instances and the system memory. The first one refers to the number of the sites that you would like to use Varnish for, whereas the second, which is offered in increments of 32 MB, refers to the total amount of data that the data caching platform can store at any particular moment. The Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-work-with graphical interface will permit you to terminate or to reboot any instance, to check comprehensive system logs or to clear the platform’s cache with just a click. For maximum results, you can employ a dedicated IP address for the sites that will use the caching platform. With Varnish, your site will load considerably faster, which means more happy visitors and prospective clients.

Varnish in Dedicated Servers

You can employ Varnish in order to accelerate the loading speed of any website that’s hosted on a dedicated server with us when the Hepsia Control Panel is installed on it. Not only will you get the content caching platform ready to be used at no additional fee, but you will also exert total control over it via the Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly graphical interface. It’ll take only one click of the mouse to start or terminate an instance or to delete the cached content associated with any Internet site that’s using the Varnish platform and if you’re more experienced, you can also see the platform’s system logs. Varnish comes with no less than 3 GB of system memory for web content caching purposes, so even in case you host an enormous number of websites on your server and they all use the Varnish caching platform, the improvement in their performance will be visible. You’ll only have to wait for a while till Varnish caches whatever pages the site visitors open on their end. The platform performs best if the Internet sites use a dedicated IP address, but since our servers come with 3 free-of-charge IP addresses, you will have everything you need.
