Varnish is a content caching platform, which is occasionally referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a web application accelerator tool that can boost the loading speed of a site by up to 1000%, based on its content. Each time a visitor accesses any page on a site that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server when the visitor opens it again. Thus, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the server and the web page will load significantly faster, as the Varnish platform can serve data many times faster than any web server software. The result is a significantly faster loading website, which leads to an immensely improved website browsing experience. In case any of the cached web pages is updated on the live site, the content that Varnish keeps in its system memory is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the users won’t end up seeing old info.
Varnish in VPS Web Hosting
We provide Varnish with all Hepsia-managed Linux VPS web hosting, so in case you order a VPS with this hosting Control Panel, you’ll be able to make the most of the data caching platform at no extra fee. Varnish can use different amounts of system memory for data caching purposes based on the specific configuration that you have chosen during the registration process, but in any case, this amount won’t be less than several hundred MB. This is more than enough to enhance the performance of a number of large sites, so the faster site loading speeds and the lowered load on the VPS will be perceivable. The effect may not be apparent immediately, since the Varnish platform will require some time to cache the content that people request, but soon after you enable it, you will observe its full capacity. This caching platform will permit you to use a lower-end VPS server and to give less money to get the same performance you would get with a higher-end virtual machine without Varnish.
Varnish in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If you want the most powerful hosting solution and you acquire any of the Linux dedicated servers hosting that we’re offering, you will be able to use the Varnish content caching platform to optimize the overall performance of your sites at no extra charge as long as the dedicated server is ordered with our innovative Hepsia Control Panel. Its easy-to-work-with graphical interface will permit you to monitor system processes, to delete the cached data or to restart any instance with one single mouse click. The minimum amount of memory that the platform can use to cache website content is 3 GB, which is quite enough for an enormous collection of high-demand websites, so your server will be able to handle a substantial load while your Internet site visitors are enjoying a seamless web browsing experience. Since your server will come with several different dedicated IPs, you’ll be able to use Varnish’s maximum potential.
