Memcached is an object caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately thanks to its efficiency. It is used to cache calls and responses between a database and the app that uses it, which can enhance the overall performance of your website and reduce the produced server load immensely. Every time a page on an application-powered site is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, since the platform has already cached the content that should be shown on a particular webpage. When any content is changed, the Memcached content is updated too, so the visitors will never see out-of-date content. Memcached is a perfect choice for every Internet site that entices numerous viewers, as it will make it truly fast and will improve the overall user experience.
Memcached in Website Hosting
Memcached comes as an upgrade with each website hosting plan that we are offering and in case you would like to use it for any script-based site that you host on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform, you’ll be able to activate it in several easy steps through your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you will get the option to upgrade two different features – the number of instances and the system memory. The first one has to do with the number of the websites that can use the Memcached distributed memory object caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can order a handful of instances. The second one has to do with the total amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use in order to cache data, so for numerous websites (or for one large-scale site), you’d better get more memory for improved performance. The memory is offered in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be ordered at any time. With the Memcached caching system, any script-driven website hosted on our servers will open unbelievably fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can get the Memcached data caching system as an upgrade with each of our semi-dedicated service and since it works with any script-powered web application, you can use it for each Internet site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, no matter what application you have used – Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, a custom-built application, etc. You can order the upgrade through the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two different features – the number of instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. To put it simply, these things specify how many Internet sites will use the Memcached system and the maximum amount of memory that the system will be able to use to cache your content. The two features are offered separately for more freedom and one instance does not come bundled with a particular amount of memory. You can use the Memcached system with any sort of website and both you and the visitors will swiftly distinguish the difference in the performance.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached comes by default with all Linux VPS service ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The extension it needs so as to function correctly is compiled when the Virtual Private Server is configured, so you can begin using the distributed memory object caching platform once your brand new server is completely functional. The system memory that the Memcached platform can use depends on the given Virtual Private Server plan, but even with the less powerful ones, several hundred megabytes will be at your disposal only for this platform. This will allow you to accelerate the performance of numerous websites hosted on the VPS server simultaneously and to lower the load on the machine even if you manage high-demand script-powered online portals with numerous viewers. The caching platform can be used with any script – Drupal™, Mambo or Joomla™, or a custom-built one, and you will detect the better performance soon after you start using it.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
You can take advantage of the full potential of Memcached with each dedicated server that we’re offering in case you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special section in it is dedicated to the caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any site hosted on the machine with only a couple of mouse clicks. You can accelerate the overall performance of any Internet site, irrespective of what script-driven software app you are using or how heavy the Internet site is, since the minimum amount of system memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 GB and this amount increases significantly with the more powerful dedicated servers. Shortly after the system is enabled, it will start caching content anytime somebody accesses your website, so, once sufficient data has been stored, you’ll perceive the lowered load on the dedicated machine and the improved overall performance of the website. The Memcached system is used by numerous websites, among them famous portals like Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which verifies the effectiveness of the Memcached system.
