Varnish is a data caching platform, which is sometimes referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a website accelerator tool that can accelerate the loading speed of a website by up to 1000%, depending on the content itself. 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 if the visitor loads it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the web server and the page will open tremendously faster, since the Varnish caching platform can deliver content many times faster than any server software. The end result is a significantly faster loading site, which leads to a greatly improved website browsing experience. If any of the cached webpages is updated on the actual Internet site, the information that Varnish stores in its memory is updated too, so the site visitors will not see out-of-date content.
Varnish in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our Linux semi-dedicated hosting come with Varnish by default, so you can make full use of the website accelerator and improve the load speed of any website that you host on our platform. You’ll get 64 MB of memory particularly for the Varnish accelerator at no extra charge and you’ll be able to activate an instance with no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated plans. If you want more memory, the latter is offered in increments of 32 megabytes in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel and it will be at your disposal momentarily. You can also add more instances as a separate upgrade, so you can choose if plenty of data will be cached for one website or whether the memory will be utilized by multiple Internet sites. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to restart or to disable any instance, to see the system log file associated with it or to clear the cached content using single-click buttons. To take full advantage of the Varnish accelerator, you can assign a dedicated IP to the sites that will use it.
Varnish in Dedicated Web Hosting
When you want a powerful web hosting solution and you purchase one of the Linux dedicated web hosting offered by us, you’ll be able to use the Varnish platform to enhance the performance of your sites at no extra cost on the condition that the server is ordered with our innovative Hepsia Control Panel. Its user-friendly interface will allow you to keep track of system processes, to delete the cached data or to restart any instance with one single click of the mouse. The smallest amount of system memory that the Varnish caching platform can employ to cache Internet site content is 3 GB, which is more than enough for a huge number of traffic-heavy websites, so your server will be able to deal with a substantial load while your site visitors are enjoying a smooth web browsing experience. Since your machine will come with a number of dedicated IPs, you will be able to use Varnish’s maximum capacity.
