Memcached is a memory caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately owing to its effectiveness. It is used to cache requests and responses between a database and the app that’s using it, which can accelerate the overall performance of your website and decrease the created server load immensely. Every time a webpage on an app-powered 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, since the platform has already cached all of the content that should be shown on a given webpage. In case any data is changed, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the site visitors will never see outdated data. The platform is an excellent choice for every website that has a lot of visitors, as it will make it faster than the blink of an eye and will enhance the overall user experience.
Memcached in Cloud Hosting
Memcached comes as an optional upgrade with each cloud hosting account offered by our company and in case you’d like to use it for any script-powered Internet site that you host on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to enable it in a couple of easy steps via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In the meantime, you will be offered the option to upgrade two different things – the instances and the memory. The first one refers to the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached content caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several sites, you can get a number of instances. The second one refers to the total amount of memory that Memcached will be allowed to use in order to cache information, so for plenty of sites (or for one traffic-intensive site), you’d better get more memory for better performance. The memory is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be added every time you need it. With the Memcached caching system, every script-powered Internet site hosted on our cloud servers will load extra-fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you order any of our semi-dedicated server plans, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you want to use it for any of the websites hosted in the account, you can enable it with only a few clicks of the mouse. The data caching platform is ideal for any script-powered web app such as WordPress, Joomla™, or even an in-house built application, and depending on your needs, you will be able to select two separate things – how many Internet sites will use the Memcached platform, in other words – the number of instances; and how much data will be cached, i.e. the amount of memory that the platform will employ. The two things are not bound to each other, so if you own a busy website with lots of content, you can get one instance and a large amount of system memory. Memcached will increase the overall performance of your Internet sites shortly after you activate it and both you and your visitors will enjoy better load speeds.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached comes as standard with all Linux VPS web hosting plans ordered with our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. The extension it needs in order to perform properly is compiled when the VPS is set up, so you can start using the content caching platform once your new VPS server is fully functional. The system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the given VPS plan, but even with the lower-end plans, you’ll get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal exclusively for this platform. This will permit you to boost the performance of numerous sites hosted on the virtual server at the same time and to reduce the load on the virtual machine even if you manage resource-heavy script-driven web pages with numerous visitors. The platform can be used with any script – Joomla™, Drupal™ or Mambo, or a custom script, and you will detect the better performance shortly after you begin using it.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Memcached is available for free with all dedicated web hosting plans offered by our company and the one and only requirement is that the dedicated server must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the memory caching system for any database-driven website, including those that are based on famous web-based apps – for instance, a WordPress personal diary or a Joomla™-driven community website. Each server comes with a particular amount of system memory that Memcached can use, but the minimum amount you’ll get is 3 GB, which is sufficient enough to accelerate the speed of extremely popular websites immensely, since this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached data. The Memcached system will begin caching data once it’s activated, so shortly thereafter, you will detect the improved overall performance of your Internet sites and the decreased load on the dedicated server. Numerous sites use the Memcached system to enhance their effectiveness, among them popular ones like Wikipedia and Reddit.
