Memcached is a memory caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately owing to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache calls and responses between a database and the app that is using it, which can increase the overall performance of your website and decrease the generated server load substantially. Every time a webpage on an application-driven Internet site is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, as the platform has already cached the content that should appear on a given web page. When any content is edited, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the website visitors will never see old data. The Memcached platform is an ideal solution for any site that lures plenty of viewers, as it will make it incredibly fast and will enhance the user experience.
Memcached in Shared Website Hosting
The Memcached caching system is available as an upgrade with every Linux shared website hosting offered by us and you’ll be able to begin using it the moment you order it, since the PHP extension that it requires so as to work properly is already present on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. You can order the upgrade through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each web hosting package and a new Control Panel section where you can administer Memcached will show up. The upgrade is separated into two parts – the instances and the system memory, so as to give you more versatility. The first one refers to the number of the sites which can use the Memcached caching system, while the second one, which is available in increments of 16 MB, determines the maximum size of the content that can be cached by the system. A frequently visited Internet site with a very large database may need more memory to take an even greater advantage of the Memcached caching system, so in case you want to upgrade this service, you will be able to do it at any given point with a couple of clicks.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you obtain one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you will find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades part of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you want to use it for any of the Internet sites hosted in the semi-dedicated account, you can enable it with only a few mouse clicks. The data caching platform is perfect for any script-based software app such as Joomla™, WordPress, or even a tailor-made app, and based on your requirements, you will be able to select two different things – how many websites will use the Memcached caching platform, in other words – the number of instances; and how much content will be stored, i.e. the amount of memory that the platform will use. The two things are not bound to each other, so if you’ve got a traffic-heavy site with a lot of content, you can order one instance and a large amount of system memory. The Memcached caching platform will boost the performance of your Internet sites shortly after you activate it and both you and your site visitors will enjoy much faster load speeds.
Memcached in VPS Web Hosting
Memcached comes by default with all Linux VPS web hosting that are ordered with our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The extension it requires in order to perform properly is compiled when the VPS server is set up, so you can begin using the content caching platform the moment your brand-new VPS is fully functional. The system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the given Virtual Private Server plan, but even with the lower-end ones, you will get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal only for this platform. This will permit you to enhance the overall performance of multiple websites hosted on the virtual server simultaneously and to decrease the load on the virtual machine even if you manage data-loaded script-driven web portals with plenty of users. The Memcached caching platform can be used with any script – Joomla™, Drupal™ or Mambo, or a custom-built one, and you will see the faster performance shortly after you start using it.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Memcached is available free of charge with all Linux dedicated servers hosting that we’re offering and the one and only condition is that the dedicated server must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the object caching system for any database-powered Internet site, including those that are based on popular software apps – for example, a WordPress online diary or a Joomla™-powered community portal. Each server comes with a different amount of memory that the Memcached system can employ, but the minimum you will get is three gigabytes, which is quite enough to boost the load speed of extremely popular websites enormously, as this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached info. The Memcached system will start storing content the moment it is activated, so shortly thereafter, you will see the enhanced performance of your sites and the reduced load. Many websites use Memcached to increase their efficacy, including famous ones like Reddit and Wikipedia.
