Memcached is a content caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately because of its efficiency. It’s used to cache calls and replies between a database and the application that is using it, which can accelerate the performance of your site and lessen the created load greatly. Every time a webpage on an app-driven site is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, as the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a given web page. In case any data is edited, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the users will never end up seeing old data. The platform is a perfect option for every site that lures plenty of viewers, as it will speed it up and will enhance the user experience.
Memcached in Website Hosting
When you host script-driven sites in a website hosting account with us, you’ll be able to add the Memcached distributed memory object caching system to your web hosting package with just a few clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the necessary extension is already installed on our advanced cloud hosting platform, you can start using it right away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many websites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that Memcached will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 MB and you can add as much memory as you wish. Logically, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you’ve got a larger website with a lot of content, you may need more memory in order to be able to make full use of the power that Memcached can give you.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can get the Memcached caching system as an upgrade with each of our semi-dedicated plans and since it works with any script-based software application, you can use it for each Internet site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, no matter what application you have used – Mambo, Joomla™ or WordPress, a custom-created one, etc. You can add the upgrade from the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two separate features – the number of instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. To put it simply, these things specify how many websites will use the Memcached system and how much system memory the system will be able to use to cache your info. The two features are ordered separately for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a pre-defined amount of memory. You can use the Memcached system with any sort of site and both you and your site visitors will swiftly see the difference in the performance.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached is offered by default with every VPS server that we offer as long as you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you will not need to pay any extra cash to be able to make the most of the full capacity of this distributed memory caching system. The more powerful Virtual Private Server hosting plan you choose, the more system memory Memcached will have for data caching purposes, but you’ll have at least several hundred megabytes all the time, which is much more than what you would get with a shared plan. This will allow you to use the Memcached caching system for a lot of Internet sites, regardless of how busy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a less powerful package for them without overloading your server. The caching system is ideal for script-driven software apps like WordPress, OpenCart, Joomla™ or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-created app. Shortly after you enable the Memcached caching system, it will start caching data and you will detect the optimized performance of your sites.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
When you order one of our dedicated servers and if you pick Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel during the order process, you will get the Memcached memory caching platform by default and you can activate it for each website that you host on your dedicated server without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin caching content as users open your site, so you’ll notice the results of using it soon thereafter. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached platform is 3 gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the dedicate server plan, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will enable you to use the caching platform for a large number of Internet sites or for an extremely busy site without weakening its efficiency. Memcached will permit you to accelerate the load speed of any database-powered site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal journal, an OpenCart e-shop, etcetera, and to boost the performance of your dedicated machine.
