Memcached is a distributed memory caching platform, which has been gaining popularity in recent years thanks to its effectiveness. It is used to cache requests and replies between a database and the application that is using it, which can boost the overall performance of your site and reduce the created server load considerably. Anytime a webpage on an app-powered website is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached all the content that should be shown on a certain page. When any data is changed, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the visitors will never see out-of-date data. The platform is an ideal option for every Internet site that lures a lot of viewers, as it will make it ultra-fast and will enhance the user experience.
Memcached in Shared Website Hosting
You can use the Memcached object caching system with all Linux shared website hosting packages that we offer. It’s available as an optional upgrade, which you can order with only a few clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system the moment you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more flexibility depending on the Internet sites that you want to use it for. The first part determines the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached, or the ‘instances’, whereas the second one refers to the memory, i.e. to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can order more memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have, the more content will be cached, which may be an exceptionally good idea for traffic-intensive sites with large-size databases and numerous concurrent visitors. In this way, you can enhance the loading speed of any script-based website hosted on our servers without any efforts.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can add the Memcached distributed memory object caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated packages that we offer and use its full potential for any script-driven website hosted on our servers. The upgrade is offered through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can select two features – the number of instances and the amount of system memory. These things show the number of the sites that can use the Memcached platform and the amount of memory that it will use to store your content. You can choose them separately, since a given instance is not linked to a particular amount of system memory, so you can use a lot of memory for a single resource-heavy website, for instance. This feature comes in increments of 16 MB and you can order as much memory as you like. The Memcached platform can be used with any script-driven site regardless of its type, including those based on popular web applications like Joomla™, Drupal™ or WordPress, and many companies like Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to optimize the speed of their websites.
Memcached in VPS Web Hosting
Memcached is included by default with each virtual private server that we offer if you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you won’t have to pay anything extra to be able to take advantage of the power of this distributed memory caching system. The more powerful Virtual Private Server plan you choose, the more memory Memcached will have for content storage purposes, but you’ll have at least several hundred MB at all times, which is much more than what you would get with a shared plan. This will permit you to use the Memcached system for lots of sites, irrespective of how heavy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a low-end package for them without overloading the server. The Memcached caching system is perfect for script-powered software apps such as WordPress, OpenCart, Joomla™ or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-made app. Soon after you enable the Memcached system, it will start storing info and you will perceive the improved overall performance of your sites.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting
When you buy any of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages and if you choose Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel on the order page, you will get Memcached as standard and you can activate it for each website that you host on your server without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin caching content as users access your site, so you’ll see the results of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the caching platform is 3 gigabytes and normally, the more powerful the dedicated package, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will allow you to take advantage of the platform for numerous Internet sites or for a very heavy Internet site without compromising its efficiency. The Memcached platform will enable you to improve the load speed of any database-driven Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal weblog, an OpenCart e-store, etcetera, and to enhance the overall performance of your dedicated server.
