Memcached is a data caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years owing to its efficiency. It is used to cache requests and responses between a database and the app that’s using it, which can increase the overall performance of your Internet site and lessen the created load greatly. Every time a web page on an app-powered website is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, as the platform has already cached all the content that should show up on a given page. When any content is edited, the Memcached content is updated too, so the site visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date data. The platform is an excellent solution for every Internet site that draws numerous viewers, as it will make it faster than the blink of an eye and will enhance the user experience.
Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting
You can take advantage of the Memcached caching system with all Linux cloud website hosting packages offered by our company. It’s offered as an optional upgrade, which you can acquire with only a few mouse clicks through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It requires a PHP extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud platform, so you can start using the Memcached caching system the moment you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more versatility depending on the websites that you’d like to use it for. The first part shows the number of the sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the ‘instances’, whereas the second one refers to the system memory, i.e. to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can order more memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have ordered, the more content will be cached, which may be a quite good idea for traffic-intensive websites with large-sized databases and numerous concurrent visitors. In this way, you can accelerate the speed of every script-driven site hosted on our servers without any effort.
Memcached in Dedicated Hosting
You can unlock the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server offered by us if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. A section in it is dedicated to the caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any site hosted on the dedicated server with just a few clicks of the mouse. You can optimize the performance of any site, no matter what script-driven software application you rely on or how large the website is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is 3 gigabytes and this amount rises significantly with the higher-end dedicated servers. Shortly after the system is enabled, it will start caching data anytime someone opens your site, so, as soon as sufficient data has been stored, you will notice the reduced load on the dedicated machine and the optimized performance of the Internet site. Memcached is used by numerous sites, among them popular portals like Zynga, Wikipedia and Reddit, which verifies the effectiveness of the caching system.
