Memcached is a content caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years owing to its efficiency. It’s used to cache calls and replies between a database and the app that’s using it, which can accelerate the overall performance of your site and lessen the generated load tremendously. Every time a webpage on an application-driven site is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, as the platform has already cached all the content that should appear on a certain page. When any content is edited, the Memcached content is updated too, so the users will never end up seeing old data. Memcached is a perfect solution for every website that attracts lots of viewers, since it will boost its speed and will improve the overall user experience.
Memcached in Shared Web Hosting
You can take advantage of the Memcached memory caching system with all Linux shared web hosting packages that we offer. It is available as an upgrade, which you can get with only a couple of mouse clicks via your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It requires a PHP extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can start using the Memcached caching system the moment you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will offer you more freedom depending on the sites that you would like to use it for. The first one shows the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached, or the ‘instances’, whereas the second one refers to the system memory, in other words – to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can add more memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you’ve ordered, the more content will be cached, which may be a good idea for traffic-heavy websites with large databases and lots of simultaneous visitors. Thus, you can boost the overall performance of every script-driven site hosted on our cloud servers without any effort.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you choose to host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, since the object caching platform’s activation takes a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The PHP extension that it requires is pre-installed on our servers, so you can begin using the Memcached platform the moment you add it to your account. You will be able to select how many Internet sites can use it and how much content it will cache, i.e. there are two separate features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the amount of memory. You can get more of both, so if one of your sites becomes very busy, for instance, you can always get more memory. Our system is extremely flexible in this regard and we do not bind a particular number of instances to a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can employ Memcached to increase the loading speed of any script-driven Internet site, including those that are based on widely used software applications, such as WordPress or Joomla™.
Memcached in VPS Hosting
You’ll get Memcached with each of the virtual private server plans that we are offering if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the object caching platform via the section with the same name. The setup requires a couple of mouse clicks and you will see the difference in the overall performance of your sites almost instantaneously. The amount of system memory that Memcached can take advantage of to cache content depends on the given Virtual Private Server hosting plan that you have selected, but in any case it will not be less than several hundred megabytes, which is more than enough even for multiple traffic-heavy websites. You can use Memcached with Internet sites based on WordPress, Joomla™ or any other web app and lower the load on your virtual server, which will permit you to continue using the current Virtual Private Server hosting plan instead of moving to a more powerful one, since you simply won’t need it. Memcached is already being used by popular websites such as Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which is a confirmation of its efficiency.
Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting
You can unlock the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we offer in case you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A section in it is dedicated to the object caching system and you can start using Memcached for any site hosted on the machine with only several clicks. You can enhance the performance of any website, no matter what script-based application you are using or how heavy the website is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 gigabytes and this amount increases tremendously with the more powerful servers. Soon after the caching system is enabled, it will start caching information anytime somebody opens your site, so, once enough data has been cached, you’ll notice the reduced load on your server and the optimized performance of your Internet site. The Memcached caching system is being used by numerous sites, including popular portals like Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which proves the efficiency of the Memcached system.
