Memcached is a data caching platform, which has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its efficiency. It’s used to cache calls and replies between a database and the app that’s using it, which can boost the overall performance of your Internet site and decrease the produced server load drastically. Anytime a web page on an application-powered site is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, since the platform has already cached the content that should be shown on a given webpage. When any content is updated, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the visitors will never end up seeing outdated data. The platform is a perfect option for any Internet site that has many visitors, as it will make it faster than the blink of an eye and will improve the overall user experience.
Memcached in Hosting
You can make use of the Memcached memory caching system with all Linux hosting that we are offering. It’s available as an upgrade, which you can enable with just a couple of mouse clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is already installed on our cloud platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system the moment you order it. The upgrade is separated into two parts, which will offer you more freedom depending on the websites that you want to use it for. The first part reveals the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one refers to the memory, in other words – to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can add more memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have, the more content will be cached, which may be a quite good idea for traffic-intensive websites with large-sized databases and many visitors. In this way, you can improve the performance of any script-based Internet site hosted on our cloud servers without effort.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you buy one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you will find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you want to use it for any of the websites hosted in the account, you can add it with only a few clicks of the mouse. The data caching platform is perfect for any script-powered web application such as WordPress, Joomla™, or even a tailor-made app, and based on your demands, you’ll be able to choose two separate features – how many websites will use Memcached, in other words – the number of instances; and how much information will be cached, in other words – the amount of system memory that the platform will employ. The two features are not tied to each other, so if you run a busy site with lots of data, you can get one instance and a larger amount of system memory. The Memcached caching platform will increase the overall performance of your Internet sites shortly after you activate it and both you and your website visitors will enjoy better loading speeds.
Memcached in VPS Web Hosting
When you order a virtual private server from our company, you will be able to use Memcached at no additional charge, as the data caching platform is available with all VPSs ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you run traffic-hungry Internet sites, you’ll be able to accelerate their performance with ease and the decreased load on your virtual server will permit you to keep your current VPS package instead of switching to a more powerful one. The amount of system memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to store data depends on the plan that you’re using, but even with a lower-end one, you will get at least several hundred megabytes, which is significantly more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared web hosting package, so the website performance boost will be significant. You can use Memcached with any database-powered web app, regardless of whether you’ve written it yourself or you are using a ready-made one such as WordPress, Joomla™ or OpenCart.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting
When you order one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting and if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel on the order page, you will get the Memcached memory caching platform by default and you can use it with any Internet site that you host on your dedicated machine without upgrading or installing anything. It will start caching data as people open your site, so you will see the effect of using it shortly thereafter. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the caching platform is 3 gigabytes and normally, the more powerful the package, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to take advantage of the platform for multiple websites or for an extremely popular site without weakening its efficiency. The Memcached platform will enable you to improve the load speed of any database-driven Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress blog, an OpenCart web shop, etcetera, and to boost the overall performance of your dedicated server.
