Memcached is an object caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years owing to its efficiency. It’s used to cache queries and responses between a database and the application that’s using it, which can increase the overall performance of your Internet site and lessen the generated server load considerably. Every time a webpage on an app-driven website is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, as the platform has already cached all the content that should be shown on a specific web page. In case any content is updated, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the users will never see outdated data. The Memcached platform is a perfect option for any website that attracts numerous visitors, since it will accelerate it and will enhance the overall user experience.
Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting
Memcached is offered as an optional upgrade with each cloud website hosting plan offered by our company and in case you wish to use it for any script-powered site that you host on our leading-edge cloud platform, you will be able to activate it in a couple of easy steps via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll get the option to upgrade two different things – the instances and the system memory. The first one is related to the number of the websites that can use the Memcached distributed memory caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can get a handful of instances. The second one refers to the total amount of memory that Memcached will be allowed to use to cache information, so for a lot of websites (or for one single regularly visited site), you may want to get more memory for better performance. The memory comes in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be added at any moment. With the Memcached caching system, every script-based site hosted on our cloud servers will open extremely fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you acquire one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you’d like to use it for any of the Internet sites hosted in the account, you can enable it with just a couple of clicks. The platform is perfect for any script-powered application like Joomla™, WordPress, or even an in-house made app, and depending on your demands, you’ll be able to select two separate features – how many Internet sites will use Memcached, in other words – the number of instances; and how much data will be stored, i.e. the amount of system memory that the platform will use. The two features are not tied to each other, so if you run a busy website with lots of content, you can get one instance and a larger amount of memory. Memcached will increase the performance of your sites shortly after you enable it and both you and your website visitors will enjoy much faster load times.
Memcached in VPS
If you order a virtual private server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no extra price, as the object caching platform is offered with all virtual servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you own traffic-intensive sites, you will be able to improve their overall performance without effort and the decreased load will permit you to keep using your current plan instead of moving to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that Memcached can use to store info depends on the package that you are using, but even with a lower-end one, you’ll get at least several hundred megabytes, which is considerably more than what you’d get with a shared web hosting plan, so the website performance boost will be serious. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform with any database-driven web app, irrespective of whether you have developed it on your own or you’re using a ready-for-use one such as Joomla™, OpenCart or WordPress.
Memcached in Dedicated Hosting
Any dedicated server that is ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can begin using the data caching system as soon as your dedicated server is completely ready, without having to upgrade or install anything. The amount of memory that Memcached can use depends on the dedicated server that you’ve picked, but as our servers are exceptionally powerful and given the fact that it is likely that you’ll host resource-intensive Internet sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use will be three gigabytes. This will permit you to boost the overall performance of extremely large sites with ease and you’ll distinguish the difference shortly after Memcached begins caching database queries. You can take advantage of the caching system with any database-driven portal, including those that are based on famous Content Management Systems like Joomla™ and WordPress.
