Varnish is a content caching platform, which is sometimes called a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web app accelerator tool that can accelerate the load speed of a website by up to 1000 percent, based on the content itself. Whenever 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 accesses it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the web server and the page will open much faster, as the Varnish caching platform can deliver information many times faster than any server software. The result will be a significantly faster loading site, which means a much-improved visitor experience. In case any of the cached pages is updated on the live Internet site, the data that Varnish caches in its system memory is updated as well, so the site visitors won’t see outdated data.
Varnish in Shared Web Hosting
Our company offers Varnish as an optional upgrade with each shared web hosting plan and if you’d like to use it, you can add it to your shared hosting account using the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. There’re two separate things that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the memory. The first one pertains to the number of the sites that you would like to employ Varnish for, whereas the second, which is available in increments of 32 megabytes, shows the maximum amount of content that the content caching platform can store at any given moment. The Hepsia Control Panel’s easy-to-use interface will enable you to deactivate or to restart any instance, to see in-depth logs or to get rid of the platform’s cache with just a click. For optimum results, you can employ a dedicated IP for the websites that will use the platform. With Varnish, your site will open considerably faster, which means more satisfied visitors and potential customers.
Varnish in Dedicated Servers
If you need a powerful hosting solution and you acquire any of the dedicated web hosting plans that we’re offering, you can use the Varnish platform to boost the work of your sites at no additional fee on the condition that the server is ordered with our next-gen Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Its easy-to-work-with graphical interface will enable you to keep an eye on platform processes, to delete the cache or to reboot any instance with one single mouse click. The minimum amount of system memory that the Varnish platform can employ to cache content is 3 gigabytes, which is quite enough for a large collection of resource-intensive sites, so your server will be able to deal with an enormous system load while your Internet site visitors are having a seamless web browsing experience. Since your machine will come with several different dedicated IPs, you will be able to use Varnish’s full potential.
