So, my understanding now is that _hash_max_size will control the
number of virtual host entries, while _hash_bucket_size will control
the maximum length of single entries, right?
Yes.
Also there may be several entries inside one bucket if they fill.
If I have a lot of virtual host entries, i should increase
_hash_max_size, while I should increase _hash_bucket_size if some
domain names are too long.
Yes.
Anyway, thanks again for the answer.

I have seen the following error in nginx log on my server:

server_names_hash_bucket_size: 32
The problem was solved after I changed the setting to 128.
However, I am curious to know what the setting will actually do. If I
have many virtual hosts, I will need a larger number for the bucket
size, but how can I determine what would be a good number to set this
parameter?
The hashes have two parameters: ..._hash_bucket_size and ..._hash_max_size.
First you should increase hash_max_size. But if single entry can not fill
inside bucket, then nginx says that you should increase
..._hash_bucket_size.
In this case try 64 and 96 before 128. the single entry may not fill inside
server name bucket if you have at least one long server name (in your case
there is name more than 27 characters).
