Memcached is a distributed memory object caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately because of its efficiency. It is used to cache requests and responses between a database and the application that’s using it, which can boost the overall performance of your website and reduce the created server load drastically. Every time a web page on an app-powered website is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, since the platform has already cached the content that should show up on a specific webpage. When any data is edited, the Memcached content is updated too, so the site visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date data. The Memcached platform is an excellent solution for any Internet site that lures lots of viewers, as it will make it load much faster and will improve the user experience.
Memcached in Cloud Hosting
If you host script-powered sites in a cloud hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached memory caching system to your web hosting plan with only a couple of mouse clicks via your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available momentarily and, since the needed extension is pre-installed on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you can start using it right away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two separate 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 offered in increments of 16 megabytes and you can add memory whenever you need. Naturally, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so if you run a larger website with a lot of data, you may need more memory in order to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you buy any of our semi-dedicated server plans, you will find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades part of your Hepsia Control Panel, so if you want to use it for any of the websites hosted in your semi-dedicated account, you can add it with just a couple of mouse clicks. The platform is suitable for any script-powered web app like WordPress, Joomla™, or even a custom-developed app, and depending on your needs, you will be able to select two separate things – how many websites will use Memcached, i.e. the number of instances; and how much information will be stored, i.e. the amount of memory that the platform will employ. The two features are not tied to each other, so if you manage a traffic-heavy website with lots of data, you can order one instance and a larger amount of memory. The Memcached platform will boost the overall performance of your sites soon after you enable it and both you and your visitors will enjoy much better load times.
Memcached in VPS Servers
If you buy a VPS server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no additional price, as the platform is available with all servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you have traffic-intensive sites, you will be able to boost their performance without efforts and the lowered load on your Virtual Private Server will permit you to keep your current package instead of moving to a more powerful one. The amount of system memory that the Memcached platform can use to store data depends on the plan that you’re using, but even with a low-end one, you will get no less than several hundred megabytes, which is significantly more than what you’d get with a shared web hosting plan, so the website performance boost will be immense. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform with any database-driven web app, irrespective of whether you have developed it yourself or you are using a ready-made one such as Joomla™, WordPress or OpenCart.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
You can unleash the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we’re offering in case you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the distributed memory object caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any Internet site hosted on the dedicated server with only a few mouse clicks. You can boost the performance of any Internet site, irrespective of what script-powered web app you are using or how busy the website is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is 3 GB and this amount increases tremendously with the higher-end dedicated servers. Shortly after the system is enabled, it will begin caching information every time someone opens your website, so, as soon as enough data has been cached, you will distinguish the reduced load on the server and the optimized overall performance of the website. Memcached is used by many sites, among them popular portals like Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which shows the effectiveness of the Memcached system.
