Memcached is a data caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately owing to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache queries and responses between a database and the app that is using it, which can improve the overall performance of your Internet site and decrease the produced server load immensely. Every time a web page on an app-driven website is opened, the app 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 show up on a particular page. When any content is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the website visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date data. The Memcached platform is an excellent solution for any site that draws lots of viewers, since it will make it faster than light and will improve the overall user experience.
Memcached in Shared Hosting
When you host script-based sites in a shared hosting account with our company, you can add Memcached to your shared hosting package with only a few mouse clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantly and, since the needed PHP extension is pre-installed on our advanced cloud platform, you can start using it right away. To give you more versatility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many websites will use Memcached) and to the memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order memory whenever you need. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is permitted to use, the more content it will cache, so if you own a high-traffic website with lots of data, you may require more memory so as to be able to make full use of the power that Memcached can offer you.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can add the Memcached data caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we are offering and make use of its full capacity for any script-driven site hosted on our servers. The upgrade is available through the Hepsia Control Panel and you can choose two features – the instances and the memory. These things indicate the number of the websites that can use Memcached and how much memory it will use to cache your information. You can choose them separately, since a given instance is not bound to a fixed amount of memory, so you can use a lot of memory for one traffic-intensive site, for example. This feature is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can get as much memory as you wish. The platform can be used with any script-driven site regardless of its type, including those based on widespread Internet apps like WordPress, Drupal™ or Joomla™, and a lot of companies like Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to enhance the overall performance of their websites.
Memcached in VPS
When you purchase a virtual private server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no extra fee, as the distributed memory object caching platform is offered with all virtual machines ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you own resource-intensive websites, you’ll be able to enhance their performance effortlessly and the decreased load on the virtual machine will enable you to keep using your current plan instead of switching to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that Memcached can use to cache content depends on the plan that you’re using, but even with a low-end one, you will get no less than several hundred megabytes, which is significantly more than what you’d get with a shared package, so the website performance boost will be tremendous. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform with any database-driven application, no matter if you have built it yourself or you are using a ready-for-use one such as Joomla™, OpenCart or WordPress.
Memcached in Dedicated Hosting
Any dedicated server ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can begin using the distributed memory caching system once the server is completely operational, without needing to install or upgrade anything. The amount of memory that Memcached can use depends on the dedicated server that you have picked, but as our servers are very powerful and given the fact that it is likely that you will host resource-hungry websites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use will be three gigabytes. This will permit you to increase the overall performance of very heavy websites without effort and you’ll observe the difference shortly after the Memcached caching system starts caching database calls. You can take full advantage of the caching system with any database-powered website, including those that are based on popular Content Management Systems such as WordPress and Joomla™.
