Memcached is a memory caching system, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years because of its effectiveness. It is used to cache requests and responses between a database and the application that is using it, which can improve the performance of your website and lessen the created load drastically. Every time a webpage on an app-powered site is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, as the platform has already cached all the content that should show up on a specific webpage. In case any content is updated, the Memcached content is updated too, so the site visitors will never end up seeing old content. The platform is an excellent solution for every site that has numerous visitors, as it will increase its loading speed and will enhance the overall user experience.
Memcached in Hosting
Memcached comes as an upgrade with each hosting account that we offer and in case you would like to use it for any script-driven website that you host on our advanced cloud platform, you will be able to enable it in a few simple steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you’ll get the option to upgrade two different features – the number of instances and the system memory. The first one refers to the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached memory caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several sites, you can order a number of instances. The second one has to do with the total amount of memory that Memcached will be allowed to use in order to cache information, so for numerous sites (or for one single traffic-heavy site), you’d better get more memory for better results. The memory comes in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered every time you need it. With the Memcached caching system, each script-based Internet site hosted on our cloud servers will open extra-fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can add the Memcached caching platform to any of the semi-dedicated servers offered by us and make use of its full potential for any script-driven website hosted on our servers. The upgrade is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel and you can select two features – the number of instances and the memory. These things indicate how many websites can use the Memcached caching platform and how much memory it will use to store your info. You can choose them independently, since a given instance is not tied to a particular amount of memory, so you can use lots of memory for a single traffic-intensive site, for instance. This upgrade is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can get as much memory as you need. The Memcached platform can be used with any script-powered site regardless of its nature, including those based on popular web apps like Drupal™, Joomla™ or WordPress, and a lot of companies like Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to improve the overall performance of their websites.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached is included by default with each and every VPS server that we offer provided that you select Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you won’t need to pay any extra cash to be able to make the most of the full potential of this caching system. The more powerful Virtual Private Server plan you choose, the more memory Memcached will have for content caching purposes, but you will have no less than several hundred MB at all times, which is much more than what you’d get with a shared web hosting package. This will permit you to use Memcached for plenty of Internet sites, irrespective of how large they are, which in turn means that you can use a low-end plan for them without overloading the Virtual Private Server. The Memcached caching system is excellent for script-based software applications like Joomla™, WordPress, OpenCart or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-made app. Soon after you activate the Memcached system, it will begin storing content and you will observe the optimized performance of your websites.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Any dedicated server that’s ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel comes with Memcached already installed by default, so you can begin using the memory caching system the moment the server is ready, without needing to upgrade or install anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can use depends on the dedicated server that you’ve picked, but as our servers are extremely powerful and due to the fact that it is likely that you’ll host resource-consuming Internet sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use is 3 GB. This will allow you to improve the overall performance of very heavy sites without any effort and you’ll see the difference shortly after the Memcached caching system starts caching database calls. You can make the most of the system with any database-driven portal, including those based on famous CMSs such as Joomla™ and WordPress.
