Memcached is a content caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately due to its efficiency. It’s used to cache requests and replies between a database and the app that is using it, which can improve the performance of your website and decrease the produced load substantially. Every time a web page on an application-powered Internet site is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached all the content that should show up on a given page. When any content is updated, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the site visitors will never end up seeing old content. Memcached is a perfect option for every Internet site that entices a lot of visitors, as it will make it blazing-fast and will improve the overall user experience.
Memcached in Cloud Hosting
Memcached is available as an optional upgrade with each and every cloud hosting account offered by us and in case you wish to use it for any script-based Internet site that you host on our leading-edge cloud platform, you’ll be able to activate it in several easy steps through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you’ll get the option to upgrade two separate features – the instances and the memory. The first one has to do with the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can get a handful of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that Memcached will be permitted to use in order to cache info, so for multiple websites (or for one single traffic-heavy site), you’d better order more memory for better performance. The memory is offered in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be ordered at any moment. With Memcached, every script-based website hosted on our cloud servers will load amazingly fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you purchase any of our semi-dedicated server packages, you’ll find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel, so if you’d like to use it for any of the sites hosted in the semi-dedicated account, you can activate it with just a couple of clicks. The distributed memory object caching platform is suitable for any script-based web app like Joomla, WordPress, or even a custom-made application, and depending on your requirements, you will be able to select two different things – how many websites will use the Memcached platform, in other words – the number of instances; and how much data will be stored, in other words – the amount of memory that the platform will employ. The two features are not tied to each other, so if you own a busy Internet site with a lot of data, you can order one instance and a larger amount of memory. The Memcached caching platform will enhance the performance of your sites shortly after you enable it and both you and your site visitors will enjoy much better load speeds.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached is included by default with each VPS server that we are offering as long as you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you will not have to pay any extra money to be able to take advantage of the maximum capacity of this distributed memory object caching system. The more powerful VPS hosting plan you pick, the more system memory Memcached will have for data caching purposes, but you will have at least several hundred megabytes at all times, which is much more than what you would get with a shared plan. This will enable you to use the Memcached system for many Internet sites, no matter how heavy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a lower-end plan for them without overloading your VPS. The caching system is suitable for script-powered software applications like Joomla, WordPress, OpenCart or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-built app. Soon after you enable Memcached, it will start caching info and you’ll spot the optimized overall performance of your websites.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
If you obtain any of our dedicated servers and if you select Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel during the signup procedure, you’ll get the Memcached distributed memory caching platform by default and you can activate it for each Internet site that you host on the server without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin caching content as people access your site, so you will see the result of using it soon after that. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the Memcached platform is 3 gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the package, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the caching platform for plenty of Internet sites or for a very large Internet site without compromising its efficiency. The Memcached caching platform will allow you to enhance the loading speed of any database-powered Internet site very quickly – a Joomla portal, a WordPress personal journal, an OpenCart e-shop, etcetera, and to enhance the overall performance of your server.
