Memcached

Memcached is a data caching system, which is used to accelerate the performance of database-driven Internet sites by caching the requests and the responses between the website visitor and the server. To put it in simple terms, anytime a certain page on such a site is opened, the script sends a query to its database to get the information that should be displayed to the visitor. In case the latter clicks a hyperlink to go to another page, the whole process is repeated and this generates plenty of database calls and higher load on the server, especially if the website has a lot of concurrent visitors. Memcached "memorizes" this exchange of information, so in case any of these pages is accessed again, the script no longer has to fetch any info from the database, as everything is delivered by the caching platform. In this way, the overall loading speed of your site will increase and you will get more pleased visitors and they’ll be able to surf through your website faster. Plus, the Memcached platform updates its cache when any info in the database is edited, so the website visitors will never see out-of-date data.

: Memcached in Website Hosting

The Memcached object caching system is available as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux website hosting offered by our company and you’ll be able to begin using it as soon as you order it, since the PHP extension that it needs in order to run correctly is already installed on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform. You can order the upgrade from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is available with every plan and a brand new Control Panel section where you can administer Memcached will appear. The upgrade is separated into two parts – the instances and the memory, so as to give you more flexibility. The first one refers to the number of the sites which can use Memcached, whereas the second, which is available in increments of 16 megabytes, determines the maximum size of the content that the system can cache. A popular site with a large-sized database may need more memory in order to take an even greater advantage of Memcached, so if you would like to upgrade this feature, you will be able to do it at any time with a couple of mouse clicks.; Memcached in VPS Hosting

Memcached is available as standard with all Linux VPS hosting that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. The PHP extension it needs so as to perform correctly is compiled when the VPS server is set up, so you can begin using the content caching platform the moment your brand-new VPS server is ready. The system memory that Memcached can use depends on the given plan, but even with the lower-end plans, you will get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal exclusively for this platform. This will permit you to boost the performance of numerous websites hosted on the Virtual Private Server simultaneously and to lower the load on the machine even if you manage busy script-driven sites with numerous visitors. The caching platform can be used with any script – Joomla^™, Mambo or Drupal^™, or a custom-developed one, and you’ll detect the faster overall performance soon after you begin using it.; Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you order any of our Linux dedicated web hosting and if you pick Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel during the order process, you’ll get the Memcached distributed memory caching platform by default and you can activate it for each Internet site that you host on your server without installing or upgrading anything. It will start storing content as people access your site, so you’ll detect the result of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the platform is three gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the plan, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will enable you to take advantage of the caching platform for lots of Internet sites or for a very busy website without compromising its efficiency. The Memcached caching platform will enable you to enhance the speed of any database-powered website very quickly – a Joomla^™ portal, a WordPress personal weblog, an OpenCart store, etc., and to improve the performance of your dedicated machine.
