Memcached is a caching platform, which has been gaining popularity in recent years thanks to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache calls and responses between a database and the app that uses it, which can increase the overall performance of your website and decrease the created server load tremendously. Anytime a page on an application-powered site is opened, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, as the platform has already cached all the content that should be shown on a given page. When any data is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the website visitors will never end up seeing outdated data. The platform is a perfect choice for every website that has many visitors, as it will speed it up and will improve the user experience.
Memcached in Shared Hosting
The Memcached data caching system is available as an optional upgrade with each Linux shared hosting package that we are offering and you’ll be able to begin using it the moment you order it, as the extension that it requires so as to work correctly is already available on our advanced cloud website hosting platform. You can request the upgrade via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is available with every shared web hosting package and a brand-new section where you can administer Memcached will appear. The upgrade is separated into two parts – the instances and the amount of memory, so as to offer you more versatility. The first one shows the number of the sites which can use the Memcached caching system, while the second one, which is offered in increments of 16 MB, determines the maximum size of the content that the system can cache. A heavy-traffic site with a large 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’ll be able to do it at any point with a few mouse clicks.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can add the Memcached distributed memory caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated packages that we offer and use its full capacity for any script-driven Internet site hosted by us. The upgrade is available through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can choose two features – the instances and the amount of system memory. These things indicate how many websites can use the Memcached caching platform and the amount of memory that it will use to cache your content. You can choose them independently, since a given instance is not linked to a specific amount of system memory, so you can use a lot of memory for a single regularly visited site, for instance. This feature is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order as much memory as you like. The Memcached platform can be used with any script-powered website regardless of its nature, including those that are based on widespread Internet applications like Drupal™, WordPress or Joomla™, and many companies such as Zynga and Wikipedia are already using it to boost the loading speed of their websites.
Memcached in VPS Hosting
When you acquire a virtual private server from our company, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no extra fee, as the caching platform comes with all VPS servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you own content-loaded Internet sites, you can enhance their performance effortlessly and the reduced load on the Virtual Private Server will enable you to keep your current VPS hosting plan instead of switching to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to cache content depends on the plan that you’re using, but even with a less powerful one, you will have at least several hundred MB, which is significantly more than what you’d get with a shared hosting package, so the website performance boost will be substantial. You can take advantage of Memcached with any database-powered web application, regardless of whether you have written it on your own or you are using a ready-made one such as Joomla™, WordPress or OpenCart.
Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting
Each dedicated server ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can start using the data caching system the moment the server is configured, without having to install or upgrade anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the dedicated server that you’ve picked, but as our servers are astonishingly powerful and due to the fact that it is likely that you will host resource-hungry sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use is 3 gigabytes. This will permit you to optimize the performance of very popular websites with ease and you will observe the difference soon after the Memcached caching system begins caching database queries. You can make the most of the caching system with any database-powered site, including those based on popular Content Management Systems like Joomla™ and WordPress.
