Memcached is a content caching platform, which has been gaining popularity in recent years because of its effectiveness. It is used to cache requests and replies between a database and the app that is using it, which can accelerate the performance of your site and reduce the generated server load drastically. Anytime a page on an app-driven Internet site is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, as the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a specific web page. In case any content is changed, the Memcached content is updated too, so the website visitors will never end up seeing outdated content. Memcached is a perfect option for every Internet site that entices lots of viewers, as it will make it extremely fast and will improve the user experience.
Memcached in Cloud Hosting
You can make use of the Memcached object caching system with all Linux cloud hosting offered by us. It’s offered as an optional upgrade, which you can activate with only a few clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is already installed on our cloud platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system as soon as you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more versatility depending on the websites that you wish to use it for. The first one indicates the number of the websites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one is related to the system memory, in other words – to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can get more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have ordered, the more content will be cached, which may be a really good idea for heavy-traffic sites with large databases and plenty of visitors. In this way, you can accelerate the speed of every script-powered site hosted on our servers without effort.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can get the Memcached data caching system as an upgrade with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages and since it works with any script-driven web application, you can use it for every Internet site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, no matter what application you have used – Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, a custom-built one, etc. You can request the upgrade through the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can select two separate things – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. To put it in simple terms, these things specify the number of the websites that will use the Memcached caching system and the total amount of memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache your content. The two features are offered separately for more freedom and one instance does not come with a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can take advantage of Memcached with any kind of site and both you and the website visitors will swiftly note the difference in the performance.
Memcached in VPS
You’ll get Memcached with each of the virtual private server packages offered by our company in case you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the content caching platform through the Control Panel section with the exact same name. The setup requires a couple of clicks and you will distinguish the difference in the overall performance of your websites almost immediately. The amount of system memory that the Memcached platform can employ to cache data depends on the particular Virtual Private Server package that you have chosen, but in any case it will not be less than several hundred megabytes, which is more than enough even for several resource-consuming Internet sites. You can use Memcached with Internet sites driven by WordPress, Joomla™ or any other software application and lower the load on your virtual server, which will enable you to keep using the current Virtual Private Server hosting plan instead of migrating to a more powerful one, as you simply won’t need it. The Memcached platform is already being used by famous websites like Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which is an evidence of its efficiency.
Memcached in Dedicated Hosting
Memcached comes for free with all Linux dedicated hosting that we offer and the sole requirement is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the caching system for any database-powered Internet site, including those based on famous Internet applications – for instance, a WordPress personal weblog or a Joomla™-driven social networking site. Each server comes with a particular amount of memory that the Memcached caching system can use, but the minimum amount you will get is 3 GB, which is quite enough to boost the speed of very heavy sites considerably, as this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached data. The system will begin storing info the moment it is enabled, so shortly thereafter, you will note the optimized overall performance of your websites and the decreased load on your server. Plenty of websites use the Memcached caching system to improve their efficiency, among them famous ones like Reddit and Wikipedia.
