Memcached is an object caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately because of its effectiveness. It is used to cache queries and responses between a database and the app that uses it, which can boost the performance of your Internet site and lessen the created server load greatly. Every time a web page on an application-driven Internet site is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, as the platform has already cached all of the content that should appear on a certain web page. If any data is changed, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the site visitors will never end up seeing outdated data. The platform is an excellent option for every website that attracts many viewers, since it will make it truly fast and will improve the overall user experience.
Memcached in Cloud Web Hosting
If you host script-driven sites in a cloud web hosting account with our company, you’ll be able to add the Memcached caching system to your web hosting plan with just a couple of mouse clicks via your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantly and, since the PHP extension required for it is already installed on our innovative cloud platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more versatility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many sites will use Memcached) and to the memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 MB and you can order as much memory as you want. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is allowed to use, the more content it will cache, so in case you own a resource-intensive site with lots of data, you may require more memory so as to be able to make the most of the power that Memcached can offer you.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Memcached comes free of charge with all dedicated servers offered by us and the only requirement is that the dedicated server must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the caching system for any database-powered website, including those that are based on famous applications – for instance, a WordPress online journal or a Joomla™-powered social networking website. Each server comes with a given amount of memory that the Memcached system can use, but the minimum amount you will get is three gigabytes, which is quite enough to enhance the loading speed of very busy sites substantially, as this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached data. The Memcached system will start caching data the moment it is activated, so soon after that, you will notice the enhanced performance of your sites and the lowered load. A lot of sites use the Memcached caching system to enhance their efficiency, including famous ones like Reddit and Wikipedia.
