Memcached is an object caching platform, which is used to enhance the load speed of database-powered Internet sites by caching the queries and the replies between the user and the server. To put it in simple terms, every time a given page on such a website is accessed, the script connects to its database to get the information that should be shown to the website visitor. If the latter clicks on a link to visit some other web page, the whole operation is carried out again and this results in numerous database requests and high load on the server, especially if the site has a lot of concurrent visitors. Memcached "memorizes" this information exchange, so if any of these pages is opened again, the script no longer has to pull any info from the database, as everything is delivered by the Memcached platform. In this way, the overall load speed of your site will increase and you’ll get more satisfied visitors and they will be able to navigate through your website faster. Moreover, Memcached "refreshes" its cache if any info in the database is modified, so the site visitors will never see old content.
Memcached in Shared Web Hosting
Memcached comes as an optional upgrade with each and every shared web hosting account offered by our company and in case you wish to use it for any script-powered site that you host on our leading-edge cloud platform, you will be able to activate it in a few simple steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you will be given the option to upgrade two separate things – the instances and the system memory. The first one refers to the number of the websites that can use the Memcached distributed memory object caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several sites, you can order a handful of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that the system will be able to use to cache content, so for numerous sites (or for one single resource-requiring site), you may want to get more memory for better results. The memory is available in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be added at any point. With Memcached, every script-powered website hosted on our cloud servers will open extremely fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can add the Memcached caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting offered by us and use its full capacity for any script-driven Internet site hosted by us. The upgrade is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel and you can select two features – the instances and the amount of system memory. These things determine how many sites can use Memcached and the amount of system memory that it will use to store your info. You can choose them separately, since a given instance is not bound to a specific amount of system memory, so you can use plenty of memory for a single traffic-hungry website, for example. This feature is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order as much memory as you wish. The platform can be used with any script-driven site irrespective of its nature, including those that are based on widespread apps like Joomla™, Drupal™ or WordPress, and a lot of companies like Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to enhance the speed of their sites.
Memcached in VPS Web Hosting
Memcached is included by default with each virtual private server that we’re offering if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not need to pay any extra cash to be able to take advantage of the power of this distributed memory caching system. The more powerful VPS hosting package you pick, the more system memory Memcached will have for information caching purposes, but you will have at least several hundred megabytes at all times, which is much more than the amount of memory you would get with a shared package. This will enable you to use the Memcached caching system for lots of Internet sites, no matter how popular they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a low-end package for them without overloading the server. The caching system is perfect for script-driven software apps like OpenCart, Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom app. Soon after you activate the Memcached system, it will begin storing data and you will note the improved performance of your sites.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Each dedicated server that’s ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel comes with Memcached already installed by default, so you can begin using this data caching system the moment your server is fully operational, without needing to upgrade or activate anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can use depends on the very server that you have chosen, but as our servers are very powerful and due to the fact that it is likely that you will host resource-requiring websites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the caching system can use will be three gigabytes. This will permit you to boost the performance of extremely large sites with no effort and you will note the difference soon after Memcached begins caching database queries. You can use the system with any database-powered web page, including those based on widely used Content Management Systems like WordPress and Joomla™.
