Varnish is a content caching platform, which is occasionally referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web accelerator that can increase the speed of a website by up to 1000%, depending on its content. Each time a visitor accesses any page on a website that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server when the visitor opens it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the server and the web page will load tremendously faster, since the Varnish platform can deliver information many times faster than any web server software. The end result will be a considerably faster loading website, which leads to an immensely improved website browsing experience. If any of the cached webpages is updated on the live website, the info that Varnish stores in its memory is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the site visitors will never end up seeing old information.

Varnish in Hosting

In case you host your Internet sites under a hosting account with our company, you will be able to activate Varnish with a couple of clicks of the mouse via your hosting Control Panel. The caching platform is available as an upgrade with all our web hosting plans and you can choose how many sites will use it and the maximum amount of system memory that will be used for the cached data. The two upgradeable features in the Control Panel’s Upgrades section are the number of instances and the amount of system memory and they’re not linked directly to each other, so you can decide whether you need lots of memory for one single large site or less memory for several smaller ones. You can unleash the full potential of the Varnish platform if the websites use a dedicated IP address. Using the Control Panel, you can swiftly start/restart/remove an instance, clear the cached data independently for each site that uses Varnish or view an in-depth log file.

Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Varnish is a feature, which comes as standard with all semi-dedicated services that we offer and you can use it for workload balancing purposes. It is available in your Hepsia Control Panel. The data caching platform comes with 64 megabytes of system memory for cached data storing purposes and you can employ it with any site that you host in your semi-dedicated account. In case you’re in need of more, you can increase the memory allowance. The memory itself is offered in increments of 32 megabytes in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel. The same section will enable you to create more instances as well, in case you want to use the Varnish caching platform with more Internet sites. The two upgrades can be added independently – you can cache the content of one single traffic-hungry website or run several Internet sites with the default memory. You can take full advantage of the Varnish platform in case you use a dedicated IP and you can order one with your semi-dedicated server plan as well. The Hepsia Control Panel will grant you total control over the caching platform and, with no more than a click, you’ll be able to delete the cached contents, to check a log file or to restart an instance.

The Varnish caching platform will have to work for a while while the visitors browse the web pages and as soon as the site content has been cached, you will distinguish the effect. One of the pluses of employing Varnish is that a lower-end and less expensive VPS package will accomplish the exact same job as a more costly one without the platform, so not only will your websites work better, but you’ll also spare a certain amount of money.
