Memcached is a data caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately due to its efficiency. It is used to cache calls and replies between a database and the app that is using it, which can boost the overall performance of your site and decrease the produced load greatly. Every time a page on an app-powered Internet site is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, as the platform has already cached all of the content that should be displayed on a specific webpage. When any content is updated, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the users will never end up seeing out-of-date data. The platform is a perfect option for any website that draws many visitors, as it will increase its speed and will improve the user experience.
Memcached in Shared Hosting
Memcached comes as an optional upgrade with each and every shared hosting account offered by us and in case you want to use it for any script-driven site that you host on our avant-garde cloud platform, you’ll be able to activate it in a few simple steps through your Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you will be given the option to upgrade two separate things – the instances and the memory. The first one has to do with the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached distributed memory object caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several websites, you can get a handful of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that the system will be allowed to use to cache information, so for many websites (or for one large-sized site), you may want to get more memory for better performance. The memory comes in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered at any time. With Memcached, every script-based website hosted on our cloud servers will load extra-fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you decide to host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you can take advantage of Memcached with ease, as the distributed memory object caching platform’s setup takes a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel. The extension that it requires is pre-installed on our servers, so you can start using Memcached as soon as you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You’ll be able to choose how many sites can use it and how much info it will cache, i.e. there’re two separate features that can be upgraded – the instances and the system memory. You can get more of both, so if one of your sites becomes extremely busy, for example, you can always get more memory. Our system is rather flexible in this regard and we do not bind a particular number of instances to a fixed amount of system memory. You can take advantage of Memcached to boost the speed of any script-powered Internet site, including those based on popular software apps, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.
Memcached in VPS Servers
When you purchase a VPS server from our company, you will be able to use Memcached at no extra charge, as the data caching platform is available with all virtual servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you manage resource-heavy Internet sites, you will be able to increase their performance without effort and the lowered load will permit you to continue using your current Virtual Private Server package rather than upgrading to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that the Memcached platform can use to store info depends on the plan that you are using, but even with a low-end one, you’ll have no less than several hundred MB, which is considerably more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared hosting plan, so the website performance boost will be considerable. You can use the Memcached platform with any database-driven web application, irrespective of whether you have created it on your own or you are using a ready-made one such as WordPress, Joomla™ or OpenCart.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
You can unleash the full potential of Memcached with every dedicated server that we are offering in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the distributed memory caching system and you can start using Memcached for any site hosted on the server with just several mouse clicks. You can increase the performance of any site, regardless of what script-based application you’re using or how large the Internet site is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 gigabytes and this amount rises enormously with the higher-end dedicated servers. Shortly after the caching system is enabled, it will start caching information each time somebody browses your site, so, as soon as sufficient content has been cached, you’ll notice the reduced load and the enhanced overall performance of the site. The Memcached system is used by a lot of sites, among them famous portals such as Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which is a proof of the efficiency of the Memcached system.
