Varnish is a web app accelerator, which has been gaining a lot of popularity lately, because it can increase the load speed of any website, sometimes even by 100 percent, based on the content. This tool is sometimes called a caching HTTP reverse proxy as well and is used to lower the overall load on the physical machine and to improve the access speed for the site visitors. Every time a visitor accesses a page on a given Internet site, the web browser request is taken care of by the web server and the requested info is returned as a response. If Varnish is enabled, it caches the web pages that the website visitor opens and if any of them is loaded for a second time, it is fetched by Varnish and not by the server directly. The performance boost comes from the fact that the accelerator handles the web requests tremendously quicker than any web server, which leads to much faster browsing speeds for the visitors. In case any content is updated meanwhile, the cached web pages will also be ‘refreshed’ the next time someone opens them.
Varnish in Hosting
Our company offers Varnish as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux hosting service and if you’d like to use it, you can add it to your account via the Upgrades section in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. There are two separate things that can be upgraded – the instances and the memory. The first one refers to the number of the Internet sites that you would like to employ Varnish for and the second one, which is offered in increments of 32 MB, shows the maximum amount of data that the platform can store at any given time. The Hepsia Control Panel’s intuitive graphical interface will enable you to terminate or to reboot any instance, to check in-depth logs or to get rid of the platform’s cache with just a click. For maximum results, you can use a dedicated IP address for the websites that will use the caching platform. With Varnish, your site will open considerably faster, meaning more satisfied visitors and potential customers.
Varnish in Semi-dedicated Servers
All our semi-dedicated servers come with Varnish by default, so you can use the website accelerator and enhance the speed of any website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers. You will get 64 megabytes of system memory exclusively for the Varnish accelerator at no extra fee and you’ll be able to create an instance with no more than a few mouse clicks through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated server packages. In case you need more memory, the latter is available in increments of 32 megabytes through the Upgrades section of the Control Panel and it will be available to you instantly. You can also order more instances as an upgrade, so you can decide whether plenty of content will be cached for one site or whether the available memory will be used by several websites. Hepsia will enable you to restart or to delete any instance, to see the system log associated with it or to delete the cached content using 1-click controls. To take full advantage of the Varnish accelerator, you can get a dedicated IP for the websites which will use it.
Varnish in VPS Servers
We offer Varnish with all of the Hepsia-equipped VPS service, so in case you obtain a VPS with this hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to make full use of the data caching platform at no additional cost. Varnish can use different amounts of memory for content caching purposes based on the particular server configuration that you’ve picked on the order form, but at any rate, this amount won’t be less than several hundred MB. This is quite enough to optimize the overall performance of several traffic-heavy sites, so the better site loading speeds and the less load on your Virtual Private Server will be perceptible. The effect may not be visible immediately, since the Varnish platform will require a certain amount of time to cache the website content that users access, but shortly after you set it up, you’ll perceive its full capacity. This caching platform will allow you to use a less powerful VPS and to give less cash to get the very same performance you’d get with a more powerful virtual machine without Varnish.
Varnish in Dedicated Servers
All Linux dedicated service that are ordered with the custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel include Varnish, which is one of the pre-installed platforms that you’ll get with the machine. The Varnish data caching platform can be activated and managed without any effort from Hepsia’s time and effort saving GUI and, with no more than a click, you can browse an exhaustive log, create or reboot an instance, clear the cached data for any Internet site and much more. Soon after you enable Varnish for a certain domain or sub-domain, it will begin caching the pages requested by the website visitors and once it has cached enough web content, you’ll witness a substantially better website performance as well as a decreased load on your dedicated server. With Varnish-dedicated system memory starting at 3 GB, you’ll be able to use the software platform for workload distribution purposes even if you host many sites on your server.
