Memcached is a memory caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately thanks to its effectiveness. It is used to cache requests and replies between a database and the application that is using it, which can accelerate the overall performance of your Internet site and lessen the produced server load immensely. Every time a webpage on an app-driven Internet site is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, as the platform has already cached all the content that should appear on a given web page. If any data is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date data. The Memcached platform is a perfect choice for every Internet site that draws many visitors, as it will make it faster than the speed of light and will improve the user experience.
Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting
Memcached is offered as an upgrade with each cloud website hosting package that we are offering and in case you’d like to use it for any script-driven Internet site that you host on our innovative cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to enable it in several easy steps via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll get the option to upgrade two separate things – the number of instances and the system memory. The first one is related to the number of the sites that can use Memcached simultaneously, so if you need it for several sites, you can get a handful of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use in order to cache data, so for plenty of websites (or for one single traffic-hungry site), you should get more memory for improved performance. The memory is available in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be ordered at any moment. With the Memcached caching system, any script-based website hosted on our cloud servers will open incredibly fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can get the Memcached content caching system as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting and since it works with any script-based web application, you can use it for each website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, irrespective of what application you have used – Mambo, Joomla or WordPress, a custom-created application, etc. You can request the upgrade through the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated account, and you can choose two separate things – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. In other words, these things show the number of the websites that will use Memcached and the maximum amount of system memory that the system will be able to use in order to store your data. The two features are offered separately for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a fixed amount of system memory. You can make the most of Memcached with any sort of site and both you and the site visitors will quickly perceive the difference in the performance.
Memcached in Dedicated Hosting
You can use the full potential of Memcached with every dedicated server that we’re offering if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special section in it is dedicated to the memory caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any website hosted on the dedicated machine with only several clicks of the mouse. You can boost the overall performance of any website, regardless of what script-powered software application you rely on or how busy the site is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 gigabytes and this amount grows seriously with the more powerful servers. Shortly after the caching system is enabled, it will start caching information every time somebody accesses your website, so, once sufficient data has been cached, you’ll detect the reduced load on your dedicated server and the improved overall performance of the website. Memcached is used by lots of sites, including famous portals like Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which shows the effectiveness of the Memcached caching system.
