Memcached

Memcached is a caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately owing to its efficiency. It is used to cache calls and replies between a database and the app that uses it, which can accelerate the performance of your Internet site and reduce the produced load substantially. Anytime a web page on an application-driven Internet site is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, since the platform has already cached all of the content that should be displayed on a certain page. In case any content is updated, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the site visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date content. Memcached is an excellent choice for any site that lures lots of visitors, since it will increase its speed and will improve the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Web Hosting

Memcached is available as an upgrade with each shared web hosting offered by us and you’ll be able to start using it the moment you add it, as the extension that it needs in order to perform properly is already present on our avant-garde cloud platform. You can order the upgrade from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with each plan and a brand-new Control Panel section where you can administer Memcached will show up. The upgrade is divided into two parts – the number of instances and the memory, so as to offer you more flexibility. The first one shows the number of the sites which can use the Memcached caching system, while the second, which is offered in increments of 16 megabytes, specifies the maximum size of the content that the system can cache. A traffic-intensive Internet site with a large database may need more memory in order to take an even greater advantage of Memcached, so if you need to upgrade this service, you’ll be able to do it at any given time with several mouse clicks.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached comes as standard with all VPS servers that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. The PHP extension it needs to work correctly is compiled when the server is set up, so you can begin using the distributed memory object caching platform as soon as your brand-new server is completely ready. The system memory that the Memcached platform can employ depends on the particular VPS plan, but even with the low-end ones, you will get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal only for this platform. This will allow you to improve the performance of numerous sites hosted on the server at the same time and to reduce the load on the machine even if you manage content-rich script-powered portals with a lot of visitors. The Memcached platform can be used with any script – Joomla^™, Drupal^™ or Mambo, or a custom-built script, and you will notice the faster performance soon after you begin using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

If you obtain one of our dedicated servers and if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel on the order form, you’ll get the Memcached platform as standard and you can set it up for any site that you host on the dedicated machine without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin storing content as users open your Internet site, so you will notice the effect of using it shortly thereafter. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the Memcached caching platform is three gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the dedicated plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the platform for many sites or for an extremely busy Internet site without weakening its efficacy. Memcached will enable you to accelerate the load speed of any database-powered website very quickly – a Joomla^™ portal, a WordPress personal weblog, an OpenCart web store, etcetera, and to enhance the overall performance of your dedicated server.
