Memcached is a data caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately owing to its effectiveness. It is used to cache queries and replies between a database and the app that uses it, which can enhance the overall performance of your website and decrease the produced server load greatly. Anytime a page on an application-powered website is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, since the platform has already cached the content that should appear on a given page. If any data is updated, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the website visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date content. The platform is an excellent choice for any website that entices a lot of visitors, as it will make it ultra-fast and will improve the overall user experience.
Memcached in Web Hosting
The Memcached data caching system is available as an optional upgrade with every Linux web hosting that we’re offering and you’ll be able to begin using it once you enable it, since the PHP extension that it requires so as to perform properly is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform. You can order the upgrade from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with every hosting package and a brand-new section where you can administer Memcached will appear. The upgrade is separated into two parts – the number of instances and the amount of system memory, so as to offer you more flexibility. The first one shows the number of the sites that can use Memcached, while the second one, which is offered in increments of 16 MB, indicates the total size of the content that can be cached by the system. A heavy-traffic site with a large-size database may require more memory so as to take an even greater advantage of Memcached, so if you would like to upgrade this service, you will be able to do it at any moment with a couple of clicks of the mouse.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can get the Memcached content caching system as an upgrade with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting and since it works with any script-driven software application, you can use it for each Internet site that you host on our platform, regardless of what app you have used – Mambo, WordPress or Joomla™, a custom-created application, etc. You can add the upgrade from the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated account, and you can choose two separate things – the number of instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. In simple terms, these things indicate the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached system and the maximum amount of memory that the system will be able to use to cache your info. The two things are ordered separately for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a pre-defined amount of memory. You can make the most of the Memcached system with any type of site and both you and the visitors will swiftly distinguish the difference in the performance.
Memcached in VPS Hosting
You’ll get Memcached with any of the virtual private server plans that we are offering if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you will be able to activate the caching platform through the section with the same name. The activation requires a couple of clicks of the mouse and you will see the difference in the overall performance of your websites almost instantaneously. The amount of memory that the Memcached platform can employ to cache information depends on the particular Virtual Private Server plan that you have selected, but at any rate it will be at least several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for multiple resource-heavy websites. You can use the Memcached platform with sites based on Joomla™, WordPress or any other web application and reduce the load on your VPS server, which will allow you to continue using the current VPS package rather than migrating to a more powerful one, since you will simply not need it. The Memcached platform is already being used by famous websites such as Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which verifies its effectiveness.
Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting
When you acquire any of our Linux dedicated web hosting and if you select Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel during the signup procedure, you’ll get the Memcached caching platform by default and you can activate it for each Internet site that you host on the dedicated machine without installing or upgrading anything. It will start storing content as people access your Internet site, so you’ll notice the results of using it shortly thereafter. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the platform is 3 gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the dedicate server package, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to take advantage of the platform for a lot of websites or for a very heavy site without weakening its efficiency. Memcached will allow you to accelerate the load speed of any database-powered site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal blog, an OpenCart store, etcetera, and to boost the overall performance of your dedicated server.
