Memcached is a distributed memory caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately because of its effectiveness. It is used to cache queries and responses between a database and the application that uses it, which can accelerate the overall performance of your site and lessen the produced server load immensely. Anytime a web page on an app-driven website is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, as the platform has already cached the content that should appear on a specific webpage. In case any content is changed, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the users will never see outdated data. The platform is a perfect choice for any Internet site that attracts many viewers, since it will speed it up and will enhance the overall user experience.
Memcached in Shared Hosting
You can take advantage of the Memcached data caching system with all Linux shared hosting that we are offering. It is available as an upgrade, which you can get with just a few mouse clicks via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It requires an extension, which is already installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so you can begin using Memcached the moment you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more versatility depending on the sites that you want to use it for. The first one specifies the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the memory, in other words – 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 data will be cached, which may be a very good idea for busy websites with large databases and numerous users. In this way, you can improve the speed of every script-based site hosted on our cloud servers without any efforts.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can get the Memcached distributed memory object caching system as an upgrade with all our semi-dedicated servers and since it works with any script-driven web application, you can use it for any website that you host on our servers, irrespective of what app you have used – Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, a custom one, etc. You can order the upgrade from the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two different features – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. In other words, these things determine how many sites will use the Memcached system and the maximum amount of memory that the system will be able to use to store your information. The two things are ordered independently for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can use Memcached with any kind of website and both you and the site visitors will swiftly note the difference in the performance.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached comes by default with each and every VPS server that we’re offering if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you will not have to pay anything extra to be able to take advantage of the maximum capacity of this data caching system. The more powerful package you pick, the more memory Memcached will have for information caching 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 hosting plan. This will allow you to use the Memcached system for numerous Internet sites, irrespective of how popular they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a lower-end plan for them without overloading the virtual machine. The Memcached caching system is ideal for script-driven web applications such as OpenCart, Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-created app. Shortly after you enable Memcached, it will begin storing information and you will spot the improved performance of your sites.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Any dedicated server that’s ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached already installed by default, so you can begin using the memory caching system the moment the dedicated server is set up, without having to activate or upgrade anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the server that you’ve picked, but since our servers are rather powerful and considering the fact that it is likely that you will 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 extremely busy sites with no effort and you’ll detect the difference shortly after the Memcached system begins caching database requests. You can make the most of the Memcached system with any database-powered website, including those that are based on famous CMSs such as Joomla™ and WordPress.
