Memcached is a content caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately owing to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache requests and replies between a database and the app that is using it, which can increase the overall performance of your website and lessen the generated server load greatly. Every time a web page on an application-powered site is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then drags it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, as the platform has already cached the content that should appear on a given web page. If any data is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the visitors will never end up seeing outdated content. The Memcached platform is an excellent solution for any site that lures a lot of visitors, since it will make it faster than the speed of sound and will improve the user experience.
Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting
When you host script-based websites in a cloud website hosting account with our company, you’ll be able to add the Memcached caching system to your web hosting plan with just a few clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantly and, since the extension needed for it is pre-installed on our innovative cloud web hosting platform, you can begin using it straight away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many websites will use Memcached) and to the amount of memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order memory as many times as you wish. Naturally, the more memory the Memcached caching system is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you’ve got a resource-absorbing website with lots of content, you may require more memory in order to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can give you.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can get the Memcached memory caching system as an upgrade with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans and since it works with any script-driven web application, you can use it for each site that you host on our servers, regardless of what app you have used – WordPress, Mambo or Joomla™, a custom-developed application, etc. You can request the upgrade via the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can select two different things – the number of instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. Basically, these things show the number of the websites that will use Memcached and the total amount of system memory that the system will be able to use in order to store your data. The two features are ordered independently for more freedom and one instance does not come with a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can make use of Memcached with any sort of website and both you and your visitors will swiftly see the difference in the overall performance.
Memcached in VPS Servers
You will get Memcached with any of the VPS server packages that we’re offering when you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the caching platform through the section with the same name. The configuration takes a few mouse clicks and you will notice the difference in the overall performance of your websites almost instantly. The amount of memory that Memcached can use to store information depends on the given Virtual Private Server package that you have chosen, but in any case it will be at least several hundred megabytes, which is quite enough even for several resource-heavy websites. You can use Memcached with Internet sites driven by Joomla™, WordPress or any other Internet app and decrease the load on your VPS server, which will permit you to keep using the current Virtual Private Server package instead of migrating to a more powerful one, since you will simply not need it. The Memcached platform is already being used by popular websites such as Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which shows its effectiveness.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Memcached comes for free with all Linux dedicated web hosting plans offered by us and the sole condition is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the caching system for any database-driven site, including those that are based on popular Internet apps – for instance, a WordPress personal blog or a Joomla™-powered social network. Each dedicated machine is tied to 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 optimize the loading speed of extremely busy websites significantly, since this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached data. The Memcached system will start caching information once it is enabled, so shortly thereafter, you’ll detect the optimized overall performance of your websites and the reduced load on the dedicated server. A lot of sites use Memcached to boost their effectiveness, including popular ones such as Wikipedia and Reddit.
